Spy x Family Wiki:Image Policy

The following rules apply to all images uploaded to . For the appropriate usage of these images in articles, consult the corresponding section in the Manual of Style.

General

 * Acceptable file formats are .png and .gif. Files with .PNG will be renamed.
 * Any image considered to be inappropriate (nudity, sexual activity, gore, etc.), according to Fandom's Terms of Use, is to be immediately deleted and, depending on the severity of the offense, the user may be blocked from editing the wiki.
 * Do not upload duplicates of images.
 * Images not related to SPY x FAMILY should be kept to a minimum.
 * Only upload images that you are going to use (in articles, blogs, or forum), any images that are not used after 2 days of their upload will be deleted.
 * Before getting an administrator/content moderator to delete an unused image, you must check if there is a page where it can be included, and include it if that is the case. Unused images can be found via Special:UnusedFiles.
 * Images should not be uploaded to just image galleries, with the exception of those used for the Profile tab of image galleries. Images uploaded should be used on an article page or blog for constructive purposes.
 * Images should not be watermarked, with exception of official watermarks (Shounen Jump+, Shueisha, VIZ Media).
 * Any textboxes or speech bubbles in manga images should be blanked out and empty, and text outside of textboxes and speech bubbles should be in Japanese (this includes chapter covers as well).
 * Official promotional images or author illustrations should be sourced on the file page for verification purposes.
 * Images used in character infoboxes should be waist above. Full body images can be placed in the appearance section or image galleries section.
 * Images used in portraits should ideally have the character profiles be frontal with as few obstructions like speech bubbles or objects blocking parts of the face.
 * When adding images from the manga, using images from the colored manga is acceptable for infoboxes and other design templates. In all other cases, the original black and white manga should be used.
 * In the case of the anime, images should not have subtitles, watermarks, or editor credits.

Quality

 * Images are to be free of errors where possible. This means they should not contain mouse pointers and borders.
 * Preferably, avoid using manga panels or images from MANGA Plus by Shueisha official English translation as there is a noticeable quality drop from the raws. If an image is uploaded from MANGA Plus, it will be replaced with the raw version.

File Naming
The image's filename should be a brief description of the action or character that the image is showcasing.

Filenames should at minimum contain given names of all characters who are the focus of the images. Avoid using incorrect names like "Ania", "Yoru" or "Lloyd". Images with a large group of characters may use a recognizable name of said group. For example:
 * Forger Family Dinner.png
 * Young Briar Family.png
 * Damian's group.png

If similar files are named a certain way, the naming conventions should be followed. For example:
 * "Character Manga Infobox.png"
 * "Story Arc Manga Infobox.png"
 * "Character Manga Full Body.png"
 * "Character Manga Full Body Uniform/Casual/Suit.png"
 * "Character Portrait.png"
 * "US Volume Number.png" for the official English volume cover
