GSWiki:Images and media policy
The images and media policy describes preferred image source, content, and usage in articles and other pages. It applies to all images equally, regardless of uploader, format, and subject.
Summary
All images must be suitable for use on a mainspace page. If you are uploading a replacement for an existing file, please go to that file's page and use the "Upload a new version of this image" link to upload your image. Ideally all images should be in the .png file format, and should have a good name.
Images
Format
This section covers preferred standards which are set or applied after the screenshot is taken. This is usually in an image editor.
File type
The preferred image format is .png (in lowercase letters) because it has no compression artefacts and it supports transparency. Images can be saved in .png by changing "Save as type"(or similar) option at the bottom of the save window in most image editors.
Transparency
All images showing items, objects, scenery or NPCs should have transparency when capable. This means that the image's background should be deleted and replaced with transparent pixels. If the image editor cannot do this, editors are free to upload images without transparency to which other editors can apply transparency, or they can paint over the background with another color (preferably white) to make adding transparency much easier and faster for other editors.
Cropping
Be sure to crop the image to show only what is needed to serve the image's purpose. Crop away any irrelevant pixels that would distract from the image's original purpose.
Image size
The maximum allowed file size for images uploaded to the wiki is 10 megabytes (10MB, 10240KB). Images which exceed this size are usually unnecessarily large and should be scaled down or cropped to a more reasonable size.
Copyrights
All image files, audio files, video files, or other media files of or containing Gemini Station or any other Gemini Station intellectual property are property of Gemini Station and are used by the Gemini Station Wiki with permission of Noresist. This includes edited files, files sourced from the game, and files extracted from elsewhere. Be aware that you may not have permission to use files from the wiki elsewhere - do so at your own risk.
