Something come up when I'm washing my hair actually... so I'm here to say.
Picture Policies
From Winx Wikia Standards
PicturesGeneralThe 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 ArtStock 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:
SizeExample 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:
ScreenshotsScreenshots 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:
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. |
From New Users
PicturesThis 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. Meaning NO workmarked pictures in the articles (or even just the logo of the channel must be replaced ASAP), NO cropped images (just the pictures captured from 4 specials and 4 first seasons stay in square shape; the movies and 2 later seasons stay in rectangle shape; season 7 hasn't been appeared yet so I don't count it at the moment). Anyone who is against this rule will be freely banned! 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 pointless 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.
Update: As Fatimah mentioned about the "catchy" quotes, if anyone finds any quote strong enough to put as catchy, then it'll stay.
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.
Admin Update
Brit actually gave out this idea for a long time, but I was against it, and I bring it here -- again :3. You know, if every admins receive their own respective color they want, it of courses will be good to recognize them (faster than whoever you around here thinks), but it'll also turn this place into the color-scheme disaster =.=...
I have an idea of giving out the admins teams a special things that their username will change the color in rainbow-color scheme in a very small percent of secs. What do you think about it?
