Guidelines Warning

For further information, see Image Guidelines and One Piece Encyclopedia:FAQ#How do I upload an image?.

Before uploading any images, please read the following to understand the basic guidelines on images on this wiki. Violation may result in penalties depending on level of offense.

• New Preference: .png files are preferred over JPGs due to the higher quality of png.
• Important rule: All uploaded images must have correct/reliable sources, appropriate licensing template, and proper categories. Any images missing these will be deleted within one hour after it has been uploaded.
• No duplicate images. This includes duplicates with only the size altered or images with only slightest differences with already existing files.
• No images that serve no purpose in any of the articles, forums and templates. Meaning, any images that are meant for personal pages alone (user pages, blogs, etc.) are not allowed.
• No images with watermarks, scanlation texts and/or fan-subtitles. Scanlation/subtitled images are allowed only when necessary in describing diagrams/charts.
• No collages allowed, unless they are absolutely necessary in comparing one scene to another.
• No fanart images are allowed, including fan-colored manga panels.
• No images that are offensive or completely unrelated to One Piece.
• No gifs can be uploaded without One_Piece_Encyclopedia_talk:Image_Team_Overview#Animation_Request being approved.
• No videos of any kind may be uploaded.
• If a better version of an already existing image comes out, update the preexisting image file, rather than uploading a new one, so we can keep record.
• Name files properly so it describes the images accurately, not a bunch of random letters/numbers or a chapter page number, or names without spaces, etc.
• Categorize all uploaded images, as well as provide source and licensing. Add a summary if desired.
• High quality images are preferred, as well as appropriate sizes.
• For Portraits used for member templates, the dimensions are at least 120 x 120. This being said, the size must be perfectly square (i.e. 500 x 500, 319 x 319), as they can simply be shrunk down. They cannot be something like 155 x 640 or 640 x 480.
• If any images have been voted to have a particular version over the another, then the vote stands, and any reason to go against it should be brought up to the talk page beforehand.
• For an image to be on an article, it is best for it to have a stable pixel value, so please have the image at a 210px as a standard when placing the image in an article (unless the situation calls for another value).
