Image Preferences
Images and photographs on the wiki are meant to accompany pages in a complimentary fashion and are not meant to overwhelm or become the focal point of any page. Supplemental images should be used with some discretion, and only when warranted to help illustrate or document information. Image galleries should be avoided to negate unnecessary clutter.
Format
There is no hard-set rule or guideline in place for which image format to use, but it is strongly recommended that the lossless PNG image file format be utilized in place of the lossy JPEG format. If a PNG version of an image or photograph is not available, then the highest quality JPEG available will be considered an acceptable substitute. GIF file formats should be avoided as much as possible, unless an animated version is necessary. Animated GIF files should be short and concise, covering only the material relevant to the correlating page content.
Japanese vs Other Languages
Emphasis will be placed on the original Japanese version, as it is the single "global" version that can be enjoyed by all, and is the primary focus of Kanzenshuu as a whole. Images from the original Japanese version (manga and anime) are preferred across the wiki, unless not applicable in certain situations where a specific dialogue is required. All images, no matter their language, must come from an officially licensed release; no scanlations or fansubs will be tolerated.
Manga Priority
Manga images will have priority over images from the anime. All images included from the manga should come from the Japanese Kanzenban release, unless not applicable in certain situations. Images from the anime will only have priority over manga images on anime-related pages, such as episode or movie pages. All images and screen shots included from the anime should come from a Dragon Box release, unless not applicable in certain situations. The following rules will apply for manga and/or anime images:
- Only single cells or single pages from the manga are permitted; do not upload entire chapters.
- If image tabs are utilized in an infobox, the manga image should always be listed before the anime image (when applicable).
- All characters, items, locations, or techniques that are not original to the anime will use manga images in their accompanying infobox (when applicable).
- Animated image files should be short and concise, covering only the material relevant to the correlating page content.
Standard Image Practices
Kanzenshuu does not seek to store every Dragon Ball-related image on the internet, but rather those relevant to the information provided by the wiki. Users with uploading privileges are expected to abide by the follow standard practices set forth by the administration:
- Images should have a descriptive but concise file name.
- Image summary pages should contain source information.
- Images must be tagged with the appropriate license.
- Images should be used on at least a single wiki page.
- Images should be relevant.
- Images for personal user pages are not allowed.
- Images should not be direct-linked from other sites.
- Kanzenshuu is not an image hosting service.
Prohibited Images
The following types of images are prohibited and will be deleted without warning by an administrator:
- Scanlations
- Fansubs
- Watermarked images and/or scans
- Doctored images
- Fanart (unless approved by an administrator)
- Personal image files unrelated to the wiki
- Obscene, pornographic, or profane images from non-official sources
Relevant or necessary images that fall under one of these possible categories will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis by the administration.
Uploading Images
All autoconfirmed community members with editing and publishing privileges will be able to upload images via the Special:Upload page. To become autoconfirmed, assist by editing a certain number of files or pages and have your account exist for a certain period of time. Both of these values are kept secret so that users do not purposely only perform this number of edits to become autoconfirmed. Before uploading an image, please read the above image preferences and standard practices.
The following image formats can be uploaded: PNG, JPEG, and GIF.
