Deus Ex Wiki:Image policy

This page contains the Deus Ex Wiki's image policy. It describes rules for images which are uploaded to the wiki.

General

 * Images should ideally be in .png (Portable Network Graphics) format because it is designed for transferring images on the Internet and it is the image format that contains the maximum amount of information about images - the same image in .png and .jpg or other image format will not have the same amount of information.
 * Images may only be uploaded for use in articles and on user pages. On talk or forum pages, please link external images instead. Images for use in one's signature are considered user page images.
 * Images are subject to the general policies and guidelines. In addition, there are some specific rules for this type of content outlined under the following sections.
 * Images may only be uploaded for use in articles and on user pages. On talk or forum pages, please link external images instead.

Article images

 * Images should be of good quality.
 * Images should never include parts of the UI (HUD, crosshair) unless the point of the given image is to illustrate the UI itself.
 * Images should have a descriptive name related to their goal (similar name of a weapon if the image is for a weapon etc.)

User page images

 * Only 5 user page images are allowed per user. If you wish to free up "slots", you need to mark old images for deletion.
 * The file names of user page images have to start with "User" in order to avoid confusion with images for use in articles.
 * User page images violating any of these rules will be deleted without warning.

Copyright
Copyrights are obligatory to add on an image for legal protection.

The standard manual way to add copyright is to add " ==Licensing== " and below the corresponding copyright:

Furthermore, selecting more options from the "upload a photo" option will provide you will a drop down menu whereby one may select the correct copyright, thus not having to do so manually.
