Project:File policy

• WIKI POLICY
  This is an official policy of the Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Wiki. Violations of the rules covered below are punishable according to the standard model outlined in the blocking policy unless stated otherwise. Attempts to exploit a loophole by obfuscating the intent behind a rule will still be punished accordingly. Some cases may be forwarded to Fandom staff.

This page outlines the Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Wiki's file policy to regulate how and which files should be uploaded. Files that don't conform to these restrictions are subject to deletion.

Reasons for deletion

In addition to the criteria discussed in the contribution policy, all files must abide by the rules listed below.

1. The file must be licensed. One of the options in the dropdown menu at Special:Upload must be selected before uploading a file to the wiki. If uploading a file to the wiki violates U.S. copyright law, the contribution policy dictates that it will be deleted.
2. The file must be high quality. Files with low resolution lower the quality of articles and should be deleted. If a high resolution version of a file does not exist, it may be better to use a similar one.
3. The file must be unique. If a duplicate or very similar version of the file already exists, the only case in which the file should be uploaded is if it needs a certain title for a template to work or some similar situation.
4. The file must be used on another page. Files that capture key moments in the series are an exception to this and should be left alone in the likely case that they will be needed in the future, but files with trivial content that aren't transcluded onto any pages should be deleted.
5. The file must be official material. Fan art, heavily tampered images, edited videos, and anything similar is not allowed on the wiki.

It should be noted that, contrary to the item covering non-English content in the contribution policy, English text is not allowed in files and only Japanese is (barring special cases like light novel illustrations from Yen Press' English translations). Cropping or emptying speech bubbles and text in general is an exception to the rule above on manipulating files as long as it doesn't mislead viewers. Videos should never be manipulated besides cropping and are an exception to any language or text restrictions.

Titles

The naming conventions for different types of files are listed below. If a file is not one of the covered types, the title of the file should be a very short description of the content by usage of important keywords (the series, subject, etc.) in the title.
