The image upload page, Tardis:Image use policy, Help:Image cheat card, and other areas of the wiki stress the use of widescreen aspect rations on everything except video/book covers, where tall aspect ratio is unavoidable.

I'm wondering what folks here think of the rule's effect on actors' promotional headshots, which are traditionally made in portrait orientation. The headshots are often great for adding to actors' pages, but should they be cropped wide (which is not always actually possible to do while retaining the actor's features) or should an exception to the rule be made for them? — Rob T Firefly - Δ - 02:02, January 5, 2014 (UTC)
