| This wiki has certain regulations in place that affect the size, file formats and naming conventions for images that you can upload. Please do not assume that you understand our particular rules just because you've contributed to other Wikia wikis. Please read and understand: '''[[help:files]]''' and our '''[[tardis:image use policy|image use]]''' and '''[[tardis:user image policy|user image policies]]'''.
| | *photos and screenshots must be jpgs '''or''' pngs — '''not''' any other format |
| | | *images should be [[T:IBOX PICS|no narrower than 420px]] |
| '''Key points from those documents''':
| | *infobox images must [[t:GTI|'''clearly illustrate their subjects''']] at 420px widths |
| *We only accept '''.jpg''' for photos and screenshots. '''Please do not upload screenshots in the .png format.''' The .svg and .png formats are '''only''' for line drawings, and for pictures which utilise transparency. | | *files must be '''[[Tardis:Copyright tags|appropriately licensed]]''' |
| *Remember that your pictures will generally be seen at a width of '''no more than''' 250px. Crop them in such a way as to emphasise the subject at that small width. | |
| *Filenames should be '''standard, comprehensible English words''' which meaningfully describe the image. '''Do not''' submit filenames comprised of meaningless alphanumeric strings. You don't need to rename the file on your computer; you are able to give it a new name by modifying the <code>Destination filename</code> field below. | |
| *All uploads must be properly licensed by selecting one of our [[:category:copyright templates|copyright messages]] from the drop-down at the bottom of this page. '''Pictures which do not have a copyright message affixed are subject to immediate deletion.''' | |
| *If you are uploading multiple pictures, we recommend you use [[Special:MultipleUpload]]. It'll save you time.
