Proposal for image guidelines:
File formats
Although The Blockheads Wiki supports png, gif, and jpg, PNG should be used whenever possible. JPEGs are lossy, and lost image quality that can't be recovered. See this image for a comparison.)
As quality has already been lost, do not just save JPEGs as PNGs.
File names and dimensions
In general, use descriptive names for images. Do not upload images with names like "File:Picture.png" or "FIle:IMG 056.png". Also, remember to categorize all uploaded images.
| Example | File name | Dimensions | Notes |
