===Images that can be Deleted | ==The Policy== | ||
* Images are to be titled as such: | |||
:<code>File:"Title of media" - "simple description".filetype</code> | |||
::For example, you have an image of Thom-293 from Deliver Hope trailer. The filename should be <code>File:DeliverHope - Thom.png/jpg</code> | |||
* Add only canon image, not screenshots from customized/tweaked canon games or mods. For example, only the core/default model of Noble Six is allowed to be used in all Halopedia articles. Customised Noble Six models are to be removed immediately. | |||
* Images that were previously intended to be used for userpages/personal use but have not been in used for quite some time are subjected to be deleted by the administration. As such, no notice will be given to the uploader. | |||
* The "SLIDESHOW" feature in the gallery mode is prohibited from general use, due to tag compatibility errors. | |||
* Leaked content are to be deleted and uploaders will be subjected to [[Halopedia:Blocking Policy|Halopedia's Blocking Policy]]. | |||
* Preferred filetypes are PNG for transparent images and JPG for normal-everyday images. If not available, use GIFs. | |||

*'''Obscene'''- Halopedia is not a censored website, and the target audience for the [[Halo universe]] is 17 years and above. However, all images that contain obscenities such as pornography, graphic real-world violence, or sexual acts are not permissible on the site, or on userpages. The developers of ''Halo'' do not produce such images, and thus they have no place on the site. These images also have great potential to offend other users. Repeatedly uploading such images can be grounds for blocking for vandalism as part of Halopedia's [[Halopedia:Blocking Policy|Blocking Policy]]. | *'''Obscene'''- Halopedia is not a censored website, and the target audience for the [[Halo universe]] is 17 years and above.

*'''Unused'''- Halopedia is not a repository for images that are unrelated to Halo and unusable on article pages. Images that are uploaded by users for individual userpages will be added to their userpage and organized into an [[:Category:Images|Image Category]] for proper use. If an image is not related to Halo whatsoever, is then uploaded and not used, it will be deleted. | *'''Unused'''- Halopedia is not a repository for images that are unrelated to Halo and unusable on article pages.

*'''Duplicate'''- Halopedia's image categories were created and organized so that users could find desired images relatively quickly and so that duplicate images are not uploaded. Though Halopedia has unlimited space for images and articles, duplicate images create confusion and make organization difficult. Duplicate images that are uploaded will be deleted and redirected to the original image. | *'''Duplicate'''- Halopedia's image categories were created and organized so that users could find desired images relatively quickly and so that duplicate images are not uploaded.
