Tpop Wiki:Image policy

The image policy for Tpop Wiki outlines the rules and guidelines for images uploaded and used here.

General

• Images should come from official sources only (eg. artist's website, social media etc.), not from fan sites and personal, non -artist accounts.
• When uploading a new image, please do not overwrite an existing one unless it is to replaced with a higher quality version.
• Fanart, self-created/edited images, memes, screenshots are not allowed on the articles. They can be however be added and used on your user page.
• Unused/abandoned images can be cleaned up and deleted.
• Images that do not comply with the image policy, is spam, a personal attack, will be deleted promptly.

Usage

• Images should be placed in their respective articles and/or galleries.
  • Group photos should stay in the group's main article/gallery (same goes for individuals)
• An image can only appear once in an article. Any duplicates of the image will be removed.
• Only one image may be used an artist's infobox. It is recommended that the latest image from a comeback be used and provided that it is clear to the reader that it represents the artist (avoid obstructions, back-facing etc.).
• For album/single/concert infoboxes, galleries are permitted in the infobox due to potential different album covers and posters.
  • To create a gallery on the image parameter in the infobox, please follow the example below:

| image    = <gallery>
Example1.png|This is a caption
Example2.png|This is a caption
Example3.png|This is a caption
Example4.png|This is a caption
</gallery>

Uploading

Naming

When uploading, please use a descriptive name for easy identification and use. If a reader comes across a photo they want know more about, its name will help them to finding similar content online. It also makes it easier for the editor too!

An image should consist the following: Group name → name of individual → name of release (eg. album/single's name, magazine's name etc.) → image type (eg. teaser photo, concept photo, etc.)

If an image doesn't have a certain 'type', you can instead use image MM/YY (eg. profile photos)

Examples:

• SKYLIZE Pond Skylight promotional image (1).png
• CGM48 Sita Sansei Kawaii! promotional image (1).png
  • Note: If it's a soloist/release of a soloist, you don't need to include the group name.

Other examples:

• Good:
  • File:SKYLIZE Skylight release schedule.png
  • File:Wish23 Praew birthday post (Facebook 2020).png
    • Note: For SNS images, the SNS website and the date of posting should be indicated as well.
• Bad:
  • File:Example.jpg
  • File:123456.jpg
  • File:Tumblr-oelik14wmlg2wshp4gylsl.jpg
  • File:Gavin D.jpg
  • File:Wish You promo photo.jpg

Images that do not meet the criteria may be removed and the user will be notified on how to upload the correct version.

NOTE: Due to Wiki technical restrictions, the symbols (# < > [ ] { } |) can not be included in the name.

Quality and formats

• Images should be in decent quality (at least 500p, upwards to 2160p) as they are preferred over low resolution and bad quality images.
  • The maximum file size on Fandom is 10MB.
• Images are required to be uploaded as PNG files as JPG tends to be lower quality, pixelated and grainy.
  • We are working to replace any JPG files currently used on the wiki; any newly uploaded JPG files will be deleted.
• GIFs are only allowed on articles if the teaser itself is a gif.
  • Otherwise they can only used on your personal user page and blogs.
• Photos with unofficial/large news watermarks or subtitles are not acceptable and will be deleted.

Categories

• Images must be categorized with an appropriate category.
  • Eg. A photo of GAVIN:D should include the category [[Category:GAVIN:D]] to group files related to the artist together.
    • Don't forget to include 'Images' after the artists name.
  • Images used in personal user page and blogs must be tagged with [[Category:User images]]

Galleries

• Galleries should have images related to the subject. Acceptable images include teasers, promotional, pictorials and CFs. For more info on how to create galleries, please check out here.

• There is a limit of photos on a main article gallery to avoid cluttering, depending on the size of the article. If there is too many, a separate article should be created.
  • Eg. Sita (CGM48)/Gallery from Sita (CGM48)
  • There needs to be ATLEAST one image in the seperate article.
  • Must include the template, {{GalleryBox}}, at the top of article

• Images should be placed into their respective sections:
  • Promotional (Teasers, concepts from promotional cycle)
  • Pictorial (CF & magazine photoshoots, media outlets)
  • SNS (with restrictions)
  • Miscellaneous (Behind the scenes, official logo etc.) (with restrictions)

• Please use the wikitext layout provided below for galleries:

{{GalleryBox}}
==Gallery==
<gallery captionalign="center" hideaddbutton="true" orientation="square" spacing="small" widths="150">
Example1.png|This is a caption
Example2.png|This is a caption
Example3.png|This is a caption
Example4.png|This is a caption
</gallery>

• Images should have an accompanying caption as well to describe the context of the photo.

SNS

• Only photos with relevance and importance should be included:
  • Anniversaries
  • Holiday greetings
  • Birthdays
• Private life photos like normal selfies, something that does not tie with a certain event, are not acceptable and will be deleted.
  • This rule also implies even when the pictures are high quality.
• Source of image should be from an official SNS account, not fan account.

Miscellaneous

• Only photos with relevance and importance should be included:
  • Behind the scenes
  • Official logos
  • etc.
• Photo's that don't have to do anything with anything specific are not acceptable and can be deleted.
• Source of image should be from an official SNS account, not fan account.
