As stated above, I'm against the wider use of promotional images, except in such cases where promo images are the only images available. I would argue that this is the case with regards to logos. Images we have of logos on the wiki are poor quality screengrabs. I would personally like it if we could use promotional images for the logos of organisations such as [[UNIT]] and [[Cybus Industries]], along with companies such as [[Magpie Electricals]].

With regards to flags, I can see that on ''Stranger Things Wiki'' you have flags on pages such as [https://strangerthings.fandom.com/wiki/ | :With regards to flags, I can see that on ''Stranger Things Wiki'' you have flags on pages such as [https://strangerthings.fandom.com/wiki/United_States_of_America United States of America] and [https://strangerthings.fandom.com/wiki/Soviet_Union Soviet Union]. However, on ''Doctor Who Wiki'' we don't have a united approach to dealing with countries, making everything appear a bit disjointed. [[United States of America]] uses a screengrab of a flag, while [[United Kingdom]] shows the country from space and [[Norway]] just shows a screengrab of a forest. I personally think that if a flag is shown in narrative, we should be able to use a high-quality image of that flag - similar to ''Stranger Things Wiki''. Not sure if this would break rules with regards to [[T:NO RW]]. [[User:66 Seconds|66 Seconds]] [[User talk:66 Seconds|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 14:47, 14 March 2023 (UTC) | ||
