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.

In cases where an animated image might be more appropriate, these may be uploaded in GIF format. These will need to be in GIF format for support in most browsers and must be uploaded at the size of display, as GIFs cannot be downscaled by MediaWiki. Animated images should be checked by wiki administrators before inclusion in articles.

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
File:(item name) Icon.png 40x40 pixels All item icons, not including blocks or HD icons
File:(block name) Icon.png 80x80 pixels All block icons, must be taken on a retina device
(iPhone 4, 4S, 5, 5s, 5c, iPod touch (4th and 5th gen), iPad 3, 4)
File:(item name) Big.png 160x160 pixels All items with no overworld render, should be identical to inventory icon at 4x

Background should be File:Gradient.png
File:Dirt.png File:(block name).png 160x160 pixels or larger All block icons, each pixel should be square
File:(block name) HD Big.png 160x160 pixels or larger All block icons, must be taken on a retina device
File:(item name} Big.png 160x160 pixels or larger All items with overworld render, must be a square image
File:(achievement name) Ach.png 120x120 pixels All achievement icons, must be taken on a retina device on iOS 7
