Harry Potter Wiki:Image policy

The Harry Potter Wiki's image policy is designed to keep the Wiki's images categorised and orderly.

Deletion
 * 1) An image will be speedy deleted as soon as an administrator finds it if:
 * 2) No description for the image has been presented.
 * 3) No source for the image has been presented. Acceptable sources include all canonical and official Harry Potter products.
 * 4) No licensing information for the image has been presented.
 * 5) The image does not qualify as fair use.
 * 6) If an image is uploaded exclusively to be showcased in a gallery, it does not qualify as fair use.
 * 7) Images that do not fall under the speedy deletion criteria should be deleted through Harry Potter Wiki:Images and media for deletion (page will be created upon adoption of the policy).
 * 8) If an image is obvious vandalism or a low-quality duplicate, it may be tagged for speedy deletion.

Sources
 * 1) Do not upload images found on an image search engine such as Google Images.
 * 2) Do not upload images found on any website other than an officially licensed site, or recognised fan community site (Mugglenet, etc) which has access to official images and news.
 * 3) Do not upload any file which is simply a resized and not otherwise altered version of an image that already exists on the Wiki.

Duplicate images
 * 1) Duplicate images should not be uploaded unless intended to replace a lower quality version of the same image. Obvious duplicate images will be speedy deleted.

Quality
 * 1) Images should be of the highest quality possible; in the case of duplicate images, the highest quality image is kept.

Formatting
 * 1) Images should ideally be formatted using the Information template.
 * 2) Always tag your image with one of the image copyright tags.
 * 3) Always specify on the description page where the image came from, such as a URL (for official websites), or the name of the source from which the image is scanned or captured. Don't put credits in images themselves.
 * 4) Use a clear, recognizable, non-duplicated filename. Note that if any image with the same title has already been uploaded, it will be replaced with your new one.
 * 5) Do not upload content with false descriptions, sources, or copyright tags. The image will be deleted.
 * 6) Images should be categorised by source, subject, and type.
