  • 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? Icon showing how many lives Mario has left. From Super Mario 64 DS. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 14:23, 23 February 2014 (EST)
