User:Rii.ul/Image Policy

This article outlines the Image Policy for the wiki. It includes guidelines about anything related to adding and uploading images and other files. These rules are subject to change without prior notice. All questions/concerns can be directed to the administration team.

Acceptable Files

 * Files related to the series and taken directly from the official media or any other official source.
 * Manga panels should preferably be from the raw (Japanese) source with speech bubbles erased. The order of prioritization for source types is as follows if the raw version cannot be found:
 * Files should not have subtitles/captions, watermarks, or editor credits.
 * Officially posted files are exempt from this rule (such as episode teasers) as there may be watermarks/text officially placed.
 * Only .png, .jpg, or .gif file extensions are allowed. Many other file extension types are not uploadable.
 * Only .png, .jpg, or .gif file extensions are allowed. Many other file extension types are not uploadable.

Unacceptable Files

 * Fanart of any form, for any reason, unless publicly acknowledged by an official source.
 * Files unrelated to Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun or any of its derivations/related series.
 * Image collages, even if they consist of official art.
 * Files with improper filenames.
 * Filenames such as 'Screenshot 12345.png' or 'asdfGHJKL.jpg' are not permitted.
 * If a file has potential to be used but is poorly named, please mark it with  in the file summary and include a proposed filename.
 * Files in any other format other than .png, .jpg, or .gif.
 * Low quality files, even if it is of official media.
 * Files with unofficial watermarks.
 * Nudity and any other kind of file that shows explicit scenes, even if it is from an official source, according to Fandom's Terms of Use.
 * Duplicate files.
 * If a duplicate file is found, please mark it with  in the file summary and include the filename of the duplicated file.
 * Fake images.
 * Other circumstances not detailed is up to the discretion of the administration team.
 * Failure to abide by the 'Acceptable Files' policy will result in the file(s) being deleted. Repeated occurrences will likely result in warnings. In extreme cases (eg. breaking Terms of Use via file upload), a temporary or permanent block from the wiki may be necessary.

Uploading Files
When a file is uploaded to this wiki, please provide the minimum necessary information:
 * Descriptive filename: files should be named to outline key elements that occur in the file. For certain files, there are specific naming conventions:
 * Chapter and volume covers: chapter covers should be the full, raw page with speech in text bubbles erased and named  (use HSHK for Houkago Shounen Hanako-kun). Volume covers should be the full, raw cover named  . English covers of volumes should have   appended. Full covers should have   appended, back covers should have   appended, and special addition covers should have   appended.
 * Anime screenshots: anime screenshots (not teasers) should have a description of what the screenshot shows in the filename. Additionally, the episode number should be noted in the title by appending.
 * Manga panels: similar to anime screenshots, manga panels should have a description of what the panels show in the filename. Additionally, the chapter number should be noted in the title by appending.
 * Character profiles: Image galleries usually have a section dedicated to containing a profile of the character's appearances and reference sheets, and images should be named accordingly and specific to that character. See Hanako/Image Gallery for reference.
 * Other files: Not all cases for files are listed here. For other scenarios, it is recommended to use the best personal judgement possible, such as staying consistent with naming conventions for files coming from similar sources.
 * If there is an image that has potential to be used but is improperly named, please add the  template to its file summary.
 * Licensing: The Fairuse template should be added to every image you upload that is from an official source. It can be added by selecting 'Fair use' in the dropdown licensing menu below where the file is renamed, or through manually editing it in by putting.
 * Categorization: After a file has been uploaded, please add the appropriate categories (see Help:Category for those unfamiliar with categorizing). These categories should include what kind of file it is if applicable (ex. Episode Teasers, Chapter Covers, etc.), which media/chapter/episode the file is from, and which characters are in the image, in that order of precedence. Files in image galleries are likely already categorized, so they can be used as references to maintain consistency.

Summary

 * Personal use files are limited to one per userpage.
 * This means that using other accounts to add more images to a single userpage is prohibited.
 * Files that are used on articles of the wiki (ie. official art) do not count as personal use files and there is no limit to how many can be added to a userpage.
 * All personal use files should clearly include the user's Fandom username in the title.
 * Once uploaded, personal use files should be categorized with Category:Userpage Images.
 * Official art/media should not be uploaded for personal use; these files likely already exist and reuploading causes duplicates.
 * Instead, search for the filename of the official artwork instead of uploading it. Official art does not count to the one-per-userpage limit.
 * All files must follow Fandom's Terms of Use.
 * Direct all questions/concerns to an active administration member. Gray areas will be handled up to the discretion of the administration team.

Detailed policy
Due to the volume of official art from the series, files (images, gifs, videos, etc.) used to decorate user profiles should be limited to one per userpage (using other accounts to add more images to a single userpage is prohibited). This prevents Special:NewFiles from being filled with media unrelated to JSHK, which would otherwise hinder editors when they organize relevant images.

Users who wish to upload files for personal use should include their Fandom username somewhere in the title (for example, a gif uploaded by User:Rii.ul could be titled ). Additionally, once uploaded, the file should be categorized under Category:Userpage Images. For those unfamiliar with categorizing files, see Help:Category on Community Central. Failure to do so may result in deletion of the file(s). If there is confusion over how to name and/or categorize, questions and concerns can be redirected to an active administration member's message wall.

Files that are uploaded to userpages should not be official art/media, as these files likely already exist on the wiki and reuploading them causes issues with duplicates. It is recommended to search for them either by name in the search bar or by going through image galleries. Any duplicate file will be deleted. Edits, character crops, collages, etc. of official art are allowed.

All files, regardless whether or not they are for the wiki, must follow Fandom's Terms of Use. Depending on the severity, breaking the ToS may range from a warning to a permanent block on the wiki.

Any issue regarding userpage files not listed here is up the discretion of the administration team.
