| abstract | - The basic overview: 1.
* Obey our copyright policy when uploading images. 2.
* Use the image description page to describe an image and its copyright rules. 3.
* Use a clear, detailed title for the file. An obscure name like "qua_047.jpg" won't help anyone. 4.
* Remember that an image that is uploaded will replace any file that already has that name. 5.
* Edit (crop) the images to show only the necessary information. 6.
* Don't include any watermarks or text in the image (this includes copyright notices; those belong in the text of the image description page). 7.
* Use the JPG format for photographic images, such as screen captures. Use the SVG (preferred), PNG (if no svg is available), or GIF (as a last resort) for diagrams and other low-contrast images. 8.
* Personal images, or those specifically intended for a user page, are not allowed. The image must have a use in the main encyclopedia. Remember that the Farscape Encyclopedia Project is not an image gallery! Please upload images solely for the purpose of illustration. We endeavor to make the most of the images that are uploaded into the database, and request that uploads be strictly limited to article use, and the occasional article talk page. To avoid redundancy, it is generally preferred that no more than one or two images should be used in an article. More images are acceptable if it is necessary to better illustrate a topic, especially on longer articles. Finally, images are not to be used in signatures, and any image link used in such a way will be removed by an administrator.
