Such images are not merely decoration they help illustrate the subject material for a greater understanding. And being that they're screenshots directly from official material they're just as official as the scans (physical screenshots) we take of images in magazines. Such images should be permitted as they are hardly just clutter.}} | Such images are not merely decoration they help illustrate the subject material for a greater understanding.

{{BebopKate|time=04:14, August 14, 2010 (UTC)|text=Bluer, do you have an example of a wiki with an image policy similar to what you're proposing? Some of us do better with examples than explanations... ^_^ | |||
And a couple of minor, quibbly concerns. The only issue I have with Photobucket I have is that it does have a limited amount of bandwidth per day, which is why talk bubbles were still allowed on the wiki. I doubt any of us have talk bubbles accessed that often, but I am curious if it has been a concern on other places that use this set-up. | |||
My main concern with fanart is not editors here making and posting their own, but rather misguided ones who see the word "fanart" and just take it as an invitation to post collections of others' works without crediting the source properly; I've seen it happen far too much in general. The policy Shard of Truth posted from the FF Wiki is a good guideline to go by, and we should adopt something similar should user fanart be allowed, but it still leaves me wondering if it will be a big issue down the line.}} | |||
