SmashWiki:Images

Note: I hope to introduce this as an official project at some point, but I would appreciate help in improving it first. Please leave comments on the sub-talk page.

The Image Project is a project with the goal of making articles on SmashWiki more accessible through the inclusion of pictures.

Primary Guidelines

• Mainspace articles should have at least one image, with few exceptions. Stages, characters, moves, techniques... all of these need pictures to help show the article's content. Exceptions and variations are explained below.
• Images must be relavant. If a page about a Sonic combo needs an image, do not simply add a general picture of Sonic. Make the images as focused on the article's content as possible.
• Image size and location are important. Images should make an article more readable and understandable. The main idea of this project is ignored if images are too distracting or force the text into odd shapes.
• There is such a thing as too many pictures. While having a few pictures is ideal, some articles may not need five images to make the content clear.
• Usage of the "image-needed" template. Add {{image}} to mark an article as needing additional or higher-quality images.

Exceptions

The following mainspace articles might not require images:

• Crews. Many a crew may not be well-enough known or sufficiently active to require an image.
• Video-preferable articles. Certain techniques or glitches may not be apparent by simply a still image. Some articles would be better off by an external link to a video, or else usage of the <youtube> function.
