Inkipedia talk:Policy/Image guidelines

Suggested addition on user images
My main intention with adding this is making it clear that user images can be deleted if left unused. Please let me know if there are any amendments you think would be appropriate.

User images Users are permitted to upload images to use on their user page. They must be marked as such using  in the file description, which adds them to Category:User images.

Images that are unused or images belonging to inactive users may be deleted.

 * Looks good to me. Your suggestion will make the guidelines more useful and informative. Heddy (talk) 18:53, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Agreed, sounds perfect to me! GloverMist (talk) 19:03, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Looks fine to me. What is considered inactive user? Let's say a user that hasn't logged in for a year and they have an image in their user page. I don't think we should delete it if the user is inactive. Shahar (talk) 19:06, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I know I'm not an admin, but about two years may be considered inactive. -- 19:32, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Adding as per discussion on Discord. Luke26 (talk) 18:23, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Image title problems
I'm trying to add a musician's image, and am using their name as the title, however, it won't let me upload the picture because it is classified as a common and uninformative name. 14:06, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Are you just using the first/last name and it is really short? I would encourage the use of the full name of the individual if so. Trig Jegman - 14:44, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * No. I was using the stage name. I changed to the full name but I think some modifications should be made for this rule, if we ever come across artists who dont share their full name and just use short stage names because then we won't be able to upload images of the artist. 14:51, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Can you please point me to the file, please, and then say what you wanted to name it? I want to look into this further. Trig - 18:07, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * It isn't a problem anymore. I used the real name of the person. It was the Guitarist CO-K, the file is Takafumi Koukei.jpg. My problem is other musicians that may come up in the future who only share their stage names... which might be classified as uniformative names.
 * As I stated, the name is literally too short. You could always expand to Performer (Name) if necessary. Trig - 00:38, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
