  • In most cases, images this should be a PNG image uploaded to the Wiki via the Upload file page.
  • Images should be optimized for the web and its size should not exceed 100 kilobytes.
  • Images' dimensions should be approximately the same size as on the official site and never exceed 600 pixels in width.
  • JPEG format is generally only desirable for "live action" pictures. (Puppet Stuff integrated into Flash is still Flash)
  • GIF formats are only desirable in the rare case of an animated GIF picture.
  • BMP formats are never desirable.
  • When uploading the file, be sure to give it a meaningful name which describes its content and more importantly, its use on the Wiki, as in this example:
"homestar_with_a_hat.png" is not meaningful. "dangeresque_3_screenshot.png" is more meaningful.
