The Blockheads Wiki:Image guidelines

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.

Also, please make sure to upload images with lowercase extensions. (File:Image.png, not File:Image.PNG)

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.
