Welcome to Girlfriend Kari Wiki! As we are a wiki for an anime card game primarily in Japanese, there is definitely a strong need for uploading images. However, with the availability of uploading images, several rules and policies must be placed in order to prevent abuse of the system. This is necessary to prolong server health, decrease lag, and to create a better wiki as a whole.
- Do not upload unnecessary images. Uploading lots of images that you do not use will be classified as abuse since it places unnecessary strain on the server.
- Do not constantly resize images. When placing an image, feel free to resize it as you see fit, but do not continuously change its resolution. This also places unnecessary strain on the server.
- Try to convert your image file so that the size is not too large. We have limited disk space! As a general rule, images should be no larger than 800x800 pixels, and no larger than 500KB in size. The hard image size upload image is 1MB. If you do need to upload images larger than that, please upload to a trusted sharing site (such as Google Drive, or imgur), and use in-line external linking instead. See this page for more information.
- You are allowed to link to images from external sites for this wiki, but please make sure the images you use are uploaded to a reputable hosting site (such as Google Drive, imgur, or photobucket). We don't want dead links or missing pictures on the site!
- You can link to external images by directly pasting the URL into the source code or into VisualEditor as a link. Please note that VisualEditor is unable to edit/configure the formatting of external images.
- Keep image file types as "jpg" whenever possible, unless transparency is necessary.
- Please keep image files to a maximum of PG-13 rating, meaning that content should be suitable to all people 13 years or older. (No pornographic or overly gruesome images, please! This type of content is not allowed!)
- Check out this page for more information on how to use images through the source editor.
