For example, an image used for a specific user, such as a signature image, should be named '''Image:Example_sig''', where 'Example' is the user name, or something similar. Pictures of images to be used in articles should be named for the article it is being used in, such as '''Image:Kencombo_ex''' or '''Image:Summit_sliding'''.

*Generally, edited images should not be used in the mainspace. Images should represent the subject as "natural" as possible; altering artwork or a screenshot gives a false impression, while screenshots involving hacks or codes should be limited to pages discussing said hacks or codes.
