NeoDex:Image use policy

When uploading images to the NeoDex via the Upload File tool, there are a number of guidelines to follow.

When to Upload

Images should be uploaded when they are required to illustrate and article or a template. The most appropriate image available should be chosen.

If you have any questions on what image would be proper for a certain article, discuss it in that articles Discussion page.

File Formats

Generally when uploading images to a Wiki, the preferred file format is .PNG, however, as Neopets uses .GIF for many of their images, .GIF is usually used when uploading images taken directly from the Neopets servers.

Screen shots, modified or compiled images; and images not from the Neopets servers should ideally be .PNG.

.JPEG should be reserved for live action photographs, and .BMP should never be used.

File Names

Usually, the name of a file on the Neopets servers is the name that the file should be uploaded under. If this is very obscure and doesn't suggest what the image is, or if the image is not directly of Neopets origin, then a relevant name should be used instead.

Game play buttons have developed the name syntax of Play[Game ID].gif.

Image Description

An image should include a description of what it is and where the source of the image is. Don't include the 'http://' on image URLs from the Neopet's servers.
