Image policy

File names
File names on all wikis hosted by Wikia are case sensitive. Spaces and some punctuation marks are allowed in file names. As such, file names should be descriptive and use spaces and punctuation as appropriate. Capital letters should only be used with proper names or acronyms such as "Cat Valentine", but not with common words such as "babysitting kids".

Summary
All images should have a summary using the Imageboxtemplate. Parameters for the description and source should be filled out. If you do not know the source, fill in "Unknown" for that parameter.

Quality

 * 1) The image should be of the highest quality available. DVD and television screen captures are preferred with other formats being secondary. In the case of duplicate images, the highest quality image is kept.
 * 2) The infobox image should depict the character's most typical and recognizable likeness, unless consensus dictates otherwise.
 * 3) Extreme facial closeups should be avoided.
 * 4) Enhancing the colors levels, shading, brightness, contrast etc. should only be done so as to improve their overall quality.
 * 5) Screenshots should preferably be submitted in their original ratio (4:3 or 16:9), unless they could benefit from cropping.
 * 6) If an image contains empty space or elements other than the subject being depicted, the image should be cropped to isolate the subject with respect given to the guidelines concerning closeups.
