This is the Image Policy of the D.Gray-man Encyclopedia. Please follow these rules that are set to prevent your images to be deleted and getting you banned.
Rules
JPG, GIF and PNG
- JPG and GIF images are not allowed to get upload at this wiki, here are some reasons why?:
- JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): When a JPG file image has been uploaded, it will not give a good background, which looks blurry and messed up.
- GIF (Graphics Interchange Format): When a image of this is uploaded and has been placed in the article pages, they will slow them for some seconds. This can cause irritation by the visitor + It doesn't give away high resolution.
- PNG (Portable Network Graphics) images are only allowed to be uploaded at this wiki because of their very clear background.
Overall Rules
- Do not upload any sexual or unrelated to the series images.
- Do not, as I repeat, no JPG or GIF images, reason stated above, only PNG images.
- Do not give images a unusual name such as kkdhkldhlds.JPG this image will be deleted.
- Do not upload fan art images, because they are copyrighted by the creator.
- Do not upload any edited images, which means do not give the image extra resolution, this image will be deleted directly.
- Do not upload the images with text.
- We prefer to use raw manga images instead of fan scan images.
Important
Uploading Images
Uploading images can be on two ways on this wiki, if you placed this [[Image:Image.PNG|thumb|Image]] at the article page, or click on the "Add a Photo" on the right side of the screen. When you want to upload your picture, all what you need to do is naming the image. Click on "More options" when you where clicking on the "Add a Photo" button which you can see more options that you have to upload the image much more better. The first option seems more better, which the image has already been named + written on the right file.
