Yu-Gi-Oh!:Image policy

Checking for card images can be made at Special:PrefixIndex, by entering the beginning of the name of the file there. It can also be checked by looking through the set galleries or the individual card galleries.
Card pages should use the most recent English print of a card, or the most recent Japanese print if the card has not been released in English yet. If the card is manga- or video game-only, an image of that card from the most recent series or video game it appeared in should be used instead, again in English if the media has had an official English release, and otherwise in Japanese. If the card is anime-only, an image of that card from the most recent series it appeared in should be used, this time in Japanese if the media has had an official Japanese release, and otherwise in English.
Please remember this website is a dynamic site and changes occur all the time; if your image is replaced because it does not fit the current image policy, please do not be offended. We are trying to collect the best *Yu-Gi-Oh!* images to improve our articles.

## Naming *OCG*/*TCG* card images

**CardName-SET-LN-R-ED-Misc.png**

**CardName** should reflect the name of the card's article. In the card name please spell it exactly as it appears on the card, including letters with diacritics and ligatures (Á Ǣ Æ) and characters from non-Latin writing systems (such as Greek).
All other characters should be omitted from the filename, including whitespace, dashes (- – — － −), wikimarkup characters (: ; # { [ | ] } \*), and other punctuation and symbols (. , ? ! & " ' ` 「 」 【 】 „ “ ~ @ $ ^ % / \ ( ) ／ < > \_ … ° ≈ ≠ ± × ÷ ← → ● • · § ∞ ¡).
 * *Booster 1* = B01
* *Booster 2* = B02
* *Booster 3* = B03
* *Booster 4* = B04
* *Booster 5* = B05
* *Booster 6* = B06
* *Booster 7* = B07
* *Vol.1* = V1
* *Vol.2* = V2
* *Vol.3* = V3
* *Vol.4* = V4
* *Vol.6* = V6
* *Vol.7* = V7
* *Starter Box* / *Starter Box: Theatrical Release* = SB
* *Starter Box* pre-order = SBP
* *EX Starter Box* = E
* *Official Guide Starter Book* = GSB
* *Duel Monsters II* tournament meeting experience = DME

* AU = Australian-English Template:FlagLang
* AE = Asian-English Template:FlagLang
* JP = Japanese Template:FlagLang
* CH = Chinese Template:FlagLang
* DE = German Template:FlagLang

 * If the card was originally released before the Magic-Spell switch, and the card is distinguishable as a Spell version (for a non-Spell card, if it mentions Spell Cards in its effect or lore), add -Reprint to the filename. For example, **Forest-LOB-NA-C-UE-Reprint.png**
* If the image is of a card's artwork from an official Konami website (for example, from the Noble Knight Showcase), the name should only use the **OW** tag (short for "Official Website"). For example, **NobleKnightArtorigus-OW.png**
* If the image is an Official Proxy (meaning it depicts a card, but is not the official card), the rarity should not be inserted and "OP" should be appended to the end of the filename. Similar goes for Giant Cards, Case Toppers and Replicas, but those still list the rarity.

## Naming anime and manga card images

Cards in galleries may also use other terms:

* **DUB** refers to card images used for non-Japanese airings. The United States has specific FCC regulations that prevent directly advertising to children, so 4Kids modified the card images to be more simplistic, and closer in appearance to their real-world counterparts, even if it made no sense from a rules point-of-view.
* **NC** means **non-card**, and provides a way to describe images of the card's physical appearance or effect on the playing field in the anime or manga.

**CardName-LN-Medium-S.png**
**CardName** is the English name of the card, and follows the same rules as for *OCG*/*TCG* card names above.
**LN** is the two letter language code.
* **JP** = Japanese
* **AE** = Asian-English
* **EN** = English (Also includes cards from the English anime with no text.)

**Medium** is the medium the card appears in:
* **Anime**
* **Manga**

**S** is the series.
* **TOEI** = *Yu-Gi-Oh!* (Toei anime) and *Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie*
* **DM** = *Yu-Gi-Oh!* (anime) (known as *Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters* in Asia)
* **MOV** = *Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light*
* **MOV2** = *Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D Bonds Beyond Time*
* **R** = *Yu-Gi-Oh! R*

* **5D** = *Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's*
* **ZX** = *Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL*
* **DZ** = *Yu-Gi-Oh! D Team ZEXAL*
* **AV** = *Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V*

## Naming video game images

For reference, the native resolutions of some consoles are as follows:
* Game Boy and Game Boy Color: 160×144
* Game Boy Advance: 240×160
* Nintendo DS: 2 x 256×192

Video game card image names are to be standardized as follows:

**CardName-Game-LN-VG.png**
