HRWiki:Image use policy

Revision as of 22:06, 22 September 2005 by The Paper (Talk | contribs)

In most cases, this image should be a PNG uploaded to the Wiki via the Upload file page.
Images should be optimized for the web and their 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.
