* Must be prefixed by "Talk_" (i.e. <code>Image:Talk weapon drop research.jpg</code>) | |||
* If the image is only linked to in the discussion you may want to add it to [[Guild Wars Wiki:Not orphaned]] to prevent its deletion for "unuse". | |||
==Image titles and file names== | ==Image titles and file names== | ||
* If you make an improved version of an image or you create a new image to replace a current one (i.e. one that is more appropriate) then you may upload the new image with the same filename as the current one.

This is not possible if you alter the filetype, i.e. you cannot easily overwrite a JPEG with a PNG image. | * If you make an improved version of an image or you create a new image to replace a current one (i.e. one that is more appropriate) then you may upload the new image with the same filename as the current one.

==Moving images== | ==Moving images== | ||
Currently there is no easy way to rename an image - they will not "move" to new titles in the ways that articles will. The currently accepted method to rename an image is to: | |||
# Download the image to your hard disk | |||
# Re-upload it again with a new file name | |||
# Mark the old image page with a deletion tag noting that the image has been replaced by an ''exact'' duplicate of the file (for example, <code>{{tl|delete|This image has been renamed to <nowiki>[[new filename]]</nowiki>}}</code>). | |||
==Content== | ==Content== | ||
The following are ''absolutely'' not permitted in any form: | |||
* Libel or defamation. | |||
* Do not include any material generally deemed offensive and insulting to others, including ArenaNet's competitors. | |||
* Material in breach of the Wiki's policies. | |||
Images should only be those directly relating to the Guild Wars series of games. Minor use of images not directly related to Guild Wars is acceptable on user pages. See [[GWW:USER]] for the rules governing images on user pages. | Images should only be those directly relating to the Guild Wars series of games.

Any uploading of pornographic material will result in long term or permanent bans. Uploading of other material not related to Guild Wars and attempting to pass this off as Guild Wars images may result in short term bans (e.g. uploading a picture of a car with the image name "Bog Skale.jpg"). | |||
==Revision history of articles containing images== | ==Revision history of articles containing images== | ||
When viewing old versions of an article via its history, old revisions do not show the corresponding old versions of images that were in use in the revision. Unless the file names of the images have changed, it will always show the latest version of the image. | |||
