Regardless, it's brought something to light, we need to work out how we're going to display images. And Albert, the reason I was fussy the first time you mentioned about your images was precisely because of the potential for an avalanche of images.

I'm going to start drafting up an image policy, it's not going to keep you from uploading fan-art. We also need to draw a line on image quality because with nothing in place I could draw ten stick figures of Granberia, call them all fan art and upload them. Remember there are more suitable places for some images, dA has a community for MGQ for instance. While the community is a really important aspect of the site we also need to make a distinction between official and unofficial content, a wiki is a place for documenting the game and it's deriative works after all.

In the meantime I will also look at how to create sub-pages for galleries for articles with a lot of images.

To recap, here's a list of what such a policy might expect:

-Some line of image quality (the line has yet to be decided, if this is even implemented).

I don't want to say certain art isn't allowed on the site, but there's a possibility we will come to a point where we have to decide this anyway. This could be having a site for artists such as dA, Pixiv, HF or FA so that the wiki doesn't at as the home for your images.

-Images from sources outside of the game have to be sourced and credited (image dumps like Booro don't count).

This is mainly to slow down the feed of images and show people are actually thinking about what they upload rather than just spamming the option to upload images. It doesn't take long to input a source thanks to the magic of copy-paste though. This should also keep Wikia staff off our backs if an artist does intend to make a claim.

-Take responsibility for your uploads.

This is covered by the two above, but all the same by uploading content you take responsibility for making sure it follows the requirements, just like when making edits on the articles. It shouldn't have to come down to me and Shadowblade to make sure the images follow the guidelines just because you can't be bothered, even "just" deleting stuff can be a pain in the ass.
