Toontown Rewritten:Media

Media comes in several forms: images, audio, and videos. Media is used for illustrating a subject in order for readers to understand the main focus of the context through the use of illustrative messages.

This policy outlines proper guidelines for organization and to avoid redundancy when unnecessary. A conduct is placed to ensure that content is appropriate for use on the Toontown Rewritten Wiki.

Conduct

Under no circumstances will files, whether in speech or graphic, be inappropriate or contain inappropriate content, including but not limited to: vulgarity, mature-rated content, inclusion of weapons, inclusion of illegal substances, and more. The Toontown Rewritten Wiki does not tolerate any inappropriate content, including on a personal userpage.
Files from an external source must not be copied and uploaded to the Toontown Rewritten Wiki for legal reasons, including but not limited to: unofficial websites, unofficial social media publications, Toontown-related wikis, and other wikis.
- If the need to copy from an external source is necessary, users must attribute to the original author(s) and provide at least one link to a source. However, the need to copy from an external source should very rarely be necessary, at most never.
Files that constitute fair use under United States copyright law and personal creation must be licensed and sourced properly.
Files from different fan servers of Toontown are not allowed. The Toontown Rewritten Wiki only allows original Toontown Rewritten content.
All images and audio used on pages must be in their original form. It is preferable that images and audio do not come from content packs.
All images used on pages must not be distorted in any way, except through cropping, brightness adjustment, approved for educational purposes, or administrator exemptions.
All images used on pages must not contain watermarks.
All audio and videos used on pages must be official Toontown Rewritten material.

The Toontown Rewritten Wiki is not a media-storing website. All files must be in use, must pertain to subjects, and must not be redundant. All unused files will be deleted without exceptions.

To potentially prevent an unused file from being deleted, a user must add it on their userpage or a regular Toontown Rewritten Wiki page if applicable. However, this does not always guarantee that the file will not be deleted, as it may be deleted when it is deemed obsolete.

Images

All images should be clear, original, appropriate, and presenting the subject as much as possible.

PNG or JPG are the recommended file types for images. GIF files are allowed but should be used sparingly.
The recommended file sizes are usually 250px for small images (characters, items, objects, etc.) and 300px for big images (artwork, graphic designs, landscapes, etc.) used on pages. Infobox templates contain these file sizes by default but can be adjusted. Administrator exemptions may apply.
In the source code, images used on pages must contain thumb so that they are properly displayed on the desktop and mobile skins of the Toontown Rewritten Wiki. This is not required for images used in galleries and on infobox templates.
Images used on a page must pertain to the subject. Absolutely no outside images, unless otherwise stated.
Images must have the subject be the main focus. No background focus and clutter, unless otherwise stated.
- Background focus may be considered to be: unimportant characters or objects in the background, minor relevancy, blurry, etc.
- Clutter may be considered to be: surrounding user interfaces, icons (such as Laff Meter), characters (such as Toons and Cogs), etc.
- At best, users should be using images that clearly present the subject. For example, an image showing one or more Toons golfing should serve as the absolute main focus to display the golfing feature rather than using an image that just shows the Toons in the background.
For images that are specifically in-game screenshots, enable anti-aliasing from the Options menu for smoothness of model edges. Should there be lack of impact on performance, it is recommended that anti-aliasing is set to the highest values possible. Press F3 to disable GUI and press ⇧ Shift+F3 to disable name tags if necessary.
Images must be used for educational purposes only.
Images must not be redundant. All images must be in an original context of its own. If an image is already portraying a specific context, another image portraying the same context is not necessary.
- For example: if an image showing a Cog exploding is already added, another image showing a different Cog exploding should not be added.
Images must come from an official source, such as Toontown Rewritten's website and social media platforms, or the game itself.
Absolutely no fan-made images, including alterations, speculation, artwork, and graphic designs (such as adding text).

Galleries

A gallery is a containment of files used to display additional media relevant to the subject that otherwise cannot fit on the main body of a page. Additional media is usually added to a gallery section at the bottom of the page unless it starts to clutter, which is where a gallery page may then be created as a subpage.

Gallery images must also adhere to the policy stated in "Images".

Format

In gallery pages, galleries should be formatted accordingly, for organization and consistency between all galleries. The order of the sections is according to relevancy. If a section does not contain any relevant files, do not include it on the gallery page. Below are some potentially relevant sections that a gallery page could have.

In-game - appropriate screenshots taken from within the world of Toontown Rewritten
Toontown blog - official blog post images from Toontown Rewritten's website
Artwork - official variations of artwork created by the Toontown Rewritten Team's Art and Creative Media departments
Miscellaneous - files that do not have its own section go here
