MarioWiki:Image use policy

The following guidelines are strongly encouraged when uploading images for use in articles for this encyclopedia.
 * In most cases, images should be in PNG format and uploaded to the Super Mario Wiki via Upload file page.
 * Images should be optimized and its size should not exceed 10 Megabytes.
 * Images' dimensions should be approximately the same size as on the official site and never exceed 10000 pixels in width.
 * JPEG format is generally only desirable for "live action" pictures.
 * GIF formats are only desirable in the rare case of an animated picture.
 * BMP files are forbidden. They should be saved as PNG.
 * SVG is not fully supported by our MediaWiki software. Any transforms will lead to bad thumbnail rendering. If you're not sure if your SVG has transformed elements, it's better to save the image as PNG.
 * When uploading the file, be sure to give it a meaningful name which describes its content and more importantly, its use on the Wiki, as in this example: "Mariostar.png" is not meaningful, "SMB3 W3-2 Cheep-Cheep.png" is more meaningful.

Please note that any non-personal images that hasn't been used within 48 hours of being uploaded will be subject to deletion as unused images.
