MarioWiki talk:Image use policy

This talk page or section has a conflict or a question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

• Images should be optimized and not exceed 5 megabytes in file size.
• Images' dimensions should be in the original size and never exceed 5000 pixels in width or height.
• Images cannot exceed an area of 12.5 million pixels or about 3500x3500 for a square image.

This rule should be changed because original, official artwork, namely, scenic artwork from recent games, such as this, this, this, this, this, this, this, and this must be resized according to that policy.

But I'm not sure why this rule is here. Is it for fair use or is it to prevent the wiki from carrying the burden of a large image? It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 14:23, 23 February 2014 (EST)

Maybe you can take this to the forums in the General Discussion topic? Ray Trace^(T|C) 16:06, 23 February 2014 (EST)

I think it would be very large. This wiki should only summarize the games, artworks are just an addition. PidgiWiki is an example of wikis that can contain any size of artworks.--
