CC Guidelines

These are not currently official guidelines and should not be used as such.

To access Commons and search for files, click here.

For images that lie outside of the scope of the Megami Tensei franchise, rather than directly uploading an image, Megami Tensei Wiki prefers the use of Wikimedia Commons. Commons is a database of millions of images that can be used across any Mediawiki installation without requiring the use of a direct upload; rather, the image's filename on Commons can be entered directly (so long as no image with the same name exists locally). Files on Commons can be used in the same way as normal files; for example, the code [[File:Kircher oedipus aegyptiacus 27 moloch.png|thumb|right|x150px|Illustration of Moloch from 1652]] will produce the image in this section. By using Commons, it becomes easy to locate images of real-world subjects that do not violate copyright laws and serve an illustrative purpose. One stipulation of Commons is that it is a multilingual database that does not use similar filename guidelines to Megami Tensei Wiki; however, filenames can be simply copied and pasted with no issue, as in the previous example.

Despite the benefits, Megami Tensei Wiki does have restrictions on how Commons may be used:

Images must not contain unnecessarily obscene details such as gore, sexual content, bodily fluids, etc. which is determined at the discretion of staff members. Images found to be in violation will be either removed or replaced.
- An image is considered "unnecessarily obscene" if there is an alternative image on Wikimedia Commons, in the public domain, or available under a suitable Creative Commons license that both A) does not contain the obscene material and B) suffices as a replacement to the original image, or if the image is so obscene that it warrants immediate removal.
All Commons images must be used in accordance with their copyright. In most cases, this will be under public domain; however, it is the responsibility of the editor to ensure that the image is licensed acceptably, such as with CC-BY. This information can be found in the file's summary on Commons.
Commons images must be relevant to the topic they are describing. For example, a Commons image depicting a relative of Jeanne d'Arc would be considered inappropriate for the relevant article, as her relatives are irrelevant to her biography and her depiction within the Megami Tensei series. However, a painting of Jeanne or an illustration of her martyrdom would most likely be considered appropriate.
There should not be an excessive amount of Commons images in proportion to the page contents. Generally, just one image is sufficient. In cases where an article would require multiple Commons images in order to comprehensively discuss the subject, one image for every 2 or 3 full-sized paragraphs is typically acceptable. However, the preferred number of images is the absolute minimum amount required in order to illustrate the information and/or claims made in the accompanying body of text.
