What are the File Policies?

General Rules to Follow

Images should not contain vulgar language or profanity or contain inappropriate words, inappropriate sexual references/imagery or other vulgar statements/imagery in the image or filename. Violation of this rule will result in a temporary or permanent ban from About Everything Wiki and the image will be promptly renamed or removed.

File Naming

Images must be uploaded with a filename that specifically describes what is in the picture. Abbreviations, player names, timestamps, or any other superfluous words that don't have anything to do with the item will be immediately moved.

Altering images in derogatory ways is unacceptable.

Replacing Images

Images should only be replaced if the older version is of low quality or violates one of the above policies. Images should not be replaced due to file size alone. When an image is replaced, it should either use the exact same name of the previous image so that it is actually replaced, or the older image should be marked for deletion. Failure to follow this procedure will most likely result in deletion of your newly uploaded image. Images that violate one of the above policies may be altered (i.e. cropped or otherwise edited) or replaced in order to conform with the above policies. In this event the older non-conforming image will be subject to a speedy deletion. Do not replace an image in About Everything Wiki that fits perfectly within this policy just to accredit yourself. If you want to replace an image that is incorrectly named, do not tag it for deletion, but simply tag it for rename instead.

Deleting Images

Placing a tag on an image stating your reasoning for deletion and the image that it was replaced with is the proper procedure for having an image deleted from About Everything Wiki.

Remote Images

Linking to images not hosted in About Everything Wiki is not allowed unless express permission is obtained from About Everything Wiki staff.

User Pictures

Any avatar uploaded in violation of this policy will be subject to immediate deletion. As with all images, avatar images should not contain vulgar language or profanity or contain inappropriate words, inappropriate sexual references/imagery or other vulgar statements/imagery. Violation of this rule will result in a temporary or permanent a ban from About Everything Wiki.
