Something come up when I'm washing my hair actually... so I'm here to say.

General
The quality of a picture depends on how well you are able to see its contents. If the picture seems off (for example, it is too bright, too dark, or too grainy and you are not able to make out details) it is not acceptable and should not be used anywhere on the site.

Only put pictures on the pages after all of the information has been added. If the description is good enough, then adding pictures won't be a necessity until later.

Stock Art
Stock art is a valuable tool to communicate an outfit. However, some "stock art" isn't really stock art - it is painted on a model. Be careful. Stella's Fab Fashions is especially bad for this, so don't use anything from there. A good place to get pictures is Winx-PNGS.onetblog.pl. The watermarks are almost invisible, and these are accepted.

Stock art must be:
 * Official
 * Not made up
 * Clear/Sharp (no blurry edges)
 * Colored correctly
 * Have no watermarks or labels

Size
Example for character profile pages:



Super-small pictures are acceptable for  user icons only . If the gallery thumbnail is too large for the picture, the picture is too small, and cannot be used on this site.

Acceptable size:



Screenshots
Screenshots are wanted and needed; however, there are some criteria. For the transformation screenshots, we probably will not be able to see the faces very well. A little blurry is fine, like below:
 * 1) Like stock art, screenshots cannot have watermarks or labels.
 * 2) Screenshots should not have a border on them. (This does not apply for userpage pictures.)
 * 3) Screenshots do not have to be of very good quality; however, it must be clear what it is a screenshot of. Again, the quality of a picture depends on how well you are able to see its contents. A screenshot in which no detail whatsoever can be made out is not acceptable.
 * 4) If the picture is a replacement for stock art, please upload it to the same name by clicking 'upload a new version' on the file page.



RAI's screenshots are preferred, because they can be verified as real by the watermark in the bottom corner. Some fan art can look very real, so be careful.|Winx Wikia Standards.

Pictures
This is basically a free-for-all. We do allow people to upload pictures not pertaining to Winx Club, as well as fanart, but they must be kept on the user page ONLY and marked with a template. If not, they'll get deleted. However, you need to check the standards for what is acceptable in a picture. Making sure they have to stay on your user page (or your gallery - see below for more detail).
 * }

So making sure you follow those. I'm tired of giving out warning templates and blocking people who keep whining "RoseXinh blocks me for no reason!"

I'm not idiotic to block people for no reason. You yourself is the reason =.=!

Season 6's episodes
By far, any episodes available in English for watch (currently 9, 10, 13, 15) will have their episode articles unlocked. But people, PLEASE just KEEP the titles, ADD the information or CORRECT the spelling, DON'T ADD any pictures from those episodes in the articles, because ALL of them are with Italian wordmarks, or in low-quality of fan-cam. Just wait for the good-quality arts. Be patient. Anyone who spams this policy will be blocked at least 3 days!

Quote template
This created a conflict in the past, but as Template Guru, I bring it back again! I in fact find it's useless because none of the characters of this series have a signature quote to use this. Mentioning about signature quotes, I'll give out some examples:
 * Yamabuki Inori / Cure Pine: I believe! (わたし、信じてる！ Watashi, shinjiteru!)
 * Tsukino Usagi / Sailor Moon: In the name of the Moon, I'll punish you!
 * Disney Fairies: Faith, trust and pixie dust.

So you see? The quotes used in the quote template should be signature quote, which is appears in 95% the episodes the character appears in. If any of you in here can provide a signature quote, I'll keep the quote template here; else, I'll shut it down.

Infobox template
This is actually the issue Flame discussed with me, but it seems he's quite busy recently and unable to log in, so if anyone sees him, please bring him to this blog :)!

I'm, as your most useless Template Guru, is experiencing a technique to create infobox templates that can available various versions with different infobox colors for a type of characters to save the plot; and just like Flame said (I'm totally agree with this), our infoboxes currently are very plain because they're based in Wikia's default infobox. I'll try my best to improve them!

As said, I'm still experiencing, so it won't be available for now... Still, it'll be here soon, so wait for it.
