=== Image Quality ===
The '''{{SITENAME}}''' values quality quite highly as we are a hub of information. As a result, if there are currently low quality images throughoutthrough thrthe websitewiki, they will eventually be replaced with higher quality images as we try to maintain a quality standard here. If you happen to find one of these images, you may add the tag {{tlx[[:template:poor quality|Poorpoor quality}}]] to alert othersother contributors of its existence so they may replace it with a superiorbetter versionone. As the image is replaced, you must remove thisthe tag so that other editorscontributors know that youit hadhas already fixedbeen the issuefixed.
* WeThis wiki prefer .PNG-type file images over .JPG-type file images because .JPG images slowly lose their quality each time someone saves them. This type of quality loss cannot be recovered without the originalorginal imagefile.
* Use a good file name, if there is a image with a poor file name then add the tag {{tlx[[:template:poor filename|Poorpoor filename}}]]. Do not use a semi-colon in the filename.
* Upload the file of its original size and do not clip the file down to show one person or another. These images will be tagged under [[:template:poor file|poor file]] and will be removed from the wiki.
* Since a large quantity of episodes were made exclusively in widescreen before making the switch to fullscreen, widescreen shots of these fullscreen episodes is to be considered as a banned image type and will be promptly removed. Widescreen images often contain black bars, and more importantly, the large width of the images disrupts the visibility of thumbnails by increasing the amount of empty space. It's urged that you clip the image down to what you are actually depicting.
* Try to avoid any and all traces of watermarks, if possible. If an image is watermarked by a TV Station, then we may just tag it with {{tlx|Poor[[:template:watermarked qualityfile|watermark}}watermarked file]]. However, if the image you uploaduploaded is watermarked by another website weit shallwill deletebe itdeleted immediately.
* Avoid subtitles and translations made by scanalation or other non-official groups. Use only RAWS (Non-subtitled or translated content) when clipping from the manga, and for all animated content. youYou may either use the raw or stop on a framefram and deselect subtitles. Subtitles and edits made or associated by scanalation groups ruin the image, reduces its originality, and also incorporates a fuzzy copyright issue that technically makes those images illegal.
=== Image Galleries ===
You may create a gallery on a pagearticle other than your profile page, however, itadding galleries on the most part of the wiki is mustprohibited. followFollow the rules mentioned here:
* Galleries shall not be added on Yo-kai, characters, merchandise or any articles that are not movies, or video games. There is a high limit to what kind of images the galleries should contain on the articles that are allowed to be used for, so be aware.
*All images must be relevant to the series, more precisely whichever page contains the gallery you're editing and or created.
* All images must be related to the franchise on your profile page.

* Must contain absolutely no fan art or other types of non official art on your profile page, even if it is your own artwork. This is due to copyright issues by the ones created it.
* Must contain proper images and not photographed text.
* No .GIF-type files or similar image types are allowed by any means within a gallery.
* Do not re-upload preexistingpre-existing images through galleries, check to see if it may already exist or the newly added image will be removed immediately and you will be alerted of the already existing one.
Galleries in fact can be a great thing, thoughbut ifwith misuseda andfranchise as ''Yo-kai Watch'' it will be misused or even abused that can lead to unorganization, copies of files, and other issues. As a result, if we notice you breaking any of these rules we will notify you of your action(s) and direct you to this page to become aware, if you are found repeatedly breaking these rules despite already being warned at least once then a decision will be made for whether or not to ban the account responsible so as to keep this wikia clean, proper, and user friendly.
