Image Rules

Rules and regulations have been put in place to better curate the *Sera Myu Wiki*. Please follow these rules to help us better manage the wiki and make it an easy-experience for all whom visit and edit.

A new rule that has been installed on this wiki is "1 image per user." This means that you are allowed one image on your user page that may other wise be subject for deletion (excluding Smut/Hentai/Ecchi and duplicates). If you want to share an image, *please* upload it to an image sharing site and *link it* in the post.

Please do not upload images to the wiki for the sake of uploading. If an image is to be uploaded, it must be uploaded to a page or be in use within a month of it's upload.

## Files Eligible for Deletion

There are a handful of images that are eligible for instant deletion upon an admin seeing them. If an image contains any of these traits, please do not upload it:

* Fanart/ Fan-fiction/ Fan edits
* Cosplay/ Selfies
* Smut/ Hentai/ Ecchi
* Images or content unrelated to Sailor Moon
* Duplicates
* Images with watermarks, unofficial or non-Sailor Moon related logos (i.e CrunchyRoll, Youtube, etc.)
* Images with subtitles (exceptions may apply).
* Images with interfaces visible (smartphone buttons, streaming/scrubber bars, annotations, etc.)

## File Names

The name of a file is integral to editors. It is much easier to find the DVD cover if it is titled something akin to: Sailor Moon SuperS DVD Vol.1 - Cover.png". Instead of "tumblr 5465d4g65d4fg46sxdg.jpeg". When files are named in a sequential manner, it makes editing lists and just about any page, much easier.

### How to Name a File

When naming files, it's important to note that there are common names people tend to name an image i.e "Sailor Moon.png". Please do not replace the already existing image if the warning occurs; instead, rename the one you want to upload to something different. This does not mean "add numbers or random letters" to the file name.

But if the image is part of a "set" (normally accompanied by similar images of the other senshi.) Please name the other files with the same manner.

Please do not shorten the senshi's names in any way as there are various senshis' planets that starts with M.

When naming a screen shot file, it is very simple. Use the acronym from above followed by a hypen "-" and a short description of what's in the image.

For example:

* LR - Usagi crying.png
* LKI - Loof Merrow.jpeg
* EL - Beryl and Sailor Galaxia.png

## 1 Image per User

As mentioned above, if you do decide to decorate your page with images and one so happens to be your "1 Image", please name it: Username 1 Image.filetype. Examples:

* DuchessDream 1 Image.png
* SailorMoonFan 1 Image.jpg

This will indicate that the image is not spam and has been chosen to be the place holder for your one image.

If you want to change your one image, simply go to the file's page and select "replace" from the "Edit" drop down menu. Keep in mind: you can only replace images of the same file type; PNG>PNG, jpeg>jpeg. This means you cannot replace a JPG with a PNG. This is not a rule, but rather just the way the wiki works.

## Why so Strict?

The rules at first may seem strict. But once you have been editing long enough, you will begin to understand why having rules for uploading and naming images creates an easier work environment. While the site is indeed "created by fans and for fans" we'd like to keep it informational. There are other sites for sharing fan works and are unaffected by file names.

If there are any questions or concerns, please contact a member of the administration staff for the Sailor Moon wiki.
