Choosing an image to upload

Cropping sections of an image

Sometimes official artwork of an article subject in a certain game appearance may only be known to exist within a group artwork or promotional image, rather than an official solo artwork. (find example). In such cases, users may have the incentive to crop the desired section of the full image to focus on the single subject, and then upload that as a separate file. This is normally discouraged. The reason being that it's not a good look when we have the full image being split up like a jigsaw puzzle and placed on galleries as separate images.

If a solo artwork for an article subject is seen as necessary, such as the case where it is the only known artwork of the subject across all games, then we may turn a blind eye to it. However, if possible and only if said user is confident in image editing, it is preferred that the surrounding background of the cropped image is removed or made white, so it is made to look like a solo artwork. Remember that if there is another object which overlaps with the desired art, then the background is best left as is.

For example, the background of File:Starshadeart.jpg is best left intact, as there is another object placed in front of the characters which obscures parts of their bodies.

Cropping an image is not allowed when the subject is the main or part of the main focus of the image. An example of this is the artwork of King Boo from Luigi's Mansion. Even though a Bowser suit can be seen behind King Boo, cropping the image to only show King Boo is not acceptable, as the image is already focused on this character.

Result	Code used	Notes
	[[File:Mushroom Example.png\|75px]]	Displays the image without a border or caption. The image will appear on the left side of the page, as the default. Clicking on the image will lead to the file page.
	[[File:Mushroom Example.png\|Click here!]]	Text will appear when hovering the mouse over the image.
	[[File:Mushroom Example.png\|border\|Click here!]]	Places a faint grey border around the image.
	[[File:Mushroom Example.png\|thumb\|left]]	Using `\|thumb` will create a thumbnail of the image, surrounded by a solid border. This is a common way to display images on articles. The side the page the image is placed on can be alternated between left, right and center. Right is the default.
Caption.	[[File:Mushroom Example.png\|thumb\|left\|Caption.]]	A caption can be placed below the image, within the frame. This is commonly used to describe the image.
Caption.	[[File:Mushroom Example.png\|thumb\|left\|50px\|Caption.]]	Image can be re-sized to a smaller height. Resizing to a larger size will lessen the quality of the image, unless it's SVG format.
Caption.	[[File:Mushroom Example.png\|frame\|left\|Caption.]]	A frame without the sign can be placed. The full size image will be shown, and it cannot be resized.
Caption.	[[File:Mushroom Example.png\|frame\|left\|Caption.\|link=Super Mushroom]]	Links to a page. Putting only `link=` will de-link the image, and clicking on it will do nothing.
	http://www.mariowiki.com/images/0/08/Mushroom_Example.png	URL link the image. Cannot be put into a frame, and clicking on it will do nothing. This isn't usually used on articles.
