'''Uploading images''' on
Uploading images is quite easy most of times. If you want to upload an image you should head over to [[special:upload|upload]] to upload your respective image. But before you are uploading any image, please do read the policy guideline what is acceptable to upload or what is not accepted to be uploaded on the wiki.
==
* GIF images are always on a small size and are always on a very low quality that shows glitchy features as well. That said, GIF images are not allowed to be uploaded to the wiki. This can result into a warning and eventually in a ban.
* SVG images are more different kind of file types. SVG images are in fact vector images that shows no any resolution decrease while extending the images to its highest level. However, as being a XML-based file, there is no any reason to upload any SVG files to the wiki, but mostly due to its naming. Uploading those kind of files will result into a warning and eventually in a ban.
* JPG images are the most used file types, but however, compared to PNG and SVG files, they are heavily impure. A JPG file shows pixel decrease and does not look fresh when those images are placed on the wiki. Due that JPG images are mostly used and mostly known, there is no strict warning when a contributor uploads those files to the wiki. However, the images will be removed and replaced with PNG file images.
Images that are uploaded with poor file names will be removed from the wiki. Do know that we follow a pattern for the wiki that are both easy to remember and easy to find. If you come out with a very difficult file name that contains only numbers and random lettering, the file will be removed in an instant. There is no any chance that the file name will be renamed to be in use afterwards. Re-upload the image with a better file name is the second option if you want to have the image to return to the wiki.
If there is a image that is not relatable to the ''Yo-kai Watch'' franchise other than collaborations and you've uploaded them to the wiki, there will be a high chance that they are going to be removed for use. You will receive a warning afterwards that will tell you not to upload those kinds of images to the wiki. If you discover it far quicker than the staff member that the image has been removed and you complain to them, the chances are high that you will be banned much faster than usual.
Do know that high resolution images are much better than images of poor resolution. This can be either JPG files or GIF files. Images that are of poor quality will be removed from the wiki in an instant. If a contributor discovers an image of poor quality, please place the [[template:i-poorfile|i-poorfile]] in the file's respective page. This to mark which file is of low quality to be removed from the wiki.
* This wiki should only use PNG file images over JPG file images. This is due that PNG file images are of a much more higher resolution on the web than JPG file images. As JPG file images are commonly more used for printing. If you would like to convert a JPG file to a PNG file, the best and easiest thing that we suggest is that you are using Paint which is on every Microsoft-based computer.
* Use a good file name,
*
* Do not upload files that contains subtitles or translations made by scanalation or other non-official groups or organizations. It is best to use only RAW (Non-subtitled or translated content) files when clipping them from manga or animated content, such as anime and movies.
* Avoid all traces of watermark that are not official. If the image contains an official watermark, tag it with [[template:i-watermarkedfile|i-watermarkedfile]].
It is strictly prohibited to create galleries of [[Yo-kai]], characters, games, or any kind of things. The usage of galleries will only lead to adding images that are unrelated or useless to use and contributors are more focusing on decorating those articles rather than focusing on editing and adding contents. If there are contributors that are creating seperate articles that contain galleries, they will be banned in an instant for the max duration of '''3 months'''.
== Re-uploading images ==
By any means, do not re-upload files that have already been uploaded. Most of the times when the wiki detects file names of the same name, the contributor will be warned about it that a file with the same name already exists. However, when a contributor uploads a file that contains the same image but with a different name, the image will be removed in an instant. If you want to re-upload a new file to the wiki and it is already there before you wanted to upload it, then replace the file through '''Upload a new version of this file'''. This will allows you to upload a new version of the already existing file. However, there is a reason why this is not permitted to use on the wiki, this is to prevent wasting space and creating a confusing mess of images throughout the wiki.
=== Legality tagging ===
The copyrights and rights of every image that are coming from the anime, manga, specials, games, merchandise, or movies or evenly posters of the franchise belongs to [[Level-5]], [[Bandai Namco]], [[Nintendo]], {{w|Shogakukan}}, {{w|TV Tokyo}}, {{w|OLM, Inc.}} and {{w|Dentsu}}, but mostly to its origin Level-5. Please do understand that any uploaded images that you've uploaded are not yours and evenly claiming them that they are yours cause you've found them on the internet or clean them, got the screenshot from a scanned episode, got them from the raw manga series or anything else. Every image belong to its creators and no matter what you say about it or discuss about it, they are not yours. Images, like fan arts or 18+ images are not falling under the same category, but we forbid them to make any appearances to this wiki cause we only use original images.
