Media Guide
All images uploaded should be relevant to Anne with an E. Fandom is not a screen-capture repository. Uploading of images should be limited to officially released promotional stills and posters, headshots of the cast, and a selection of high quality screencaps only when a topic is not provided with an official one, ie. a minor character or location.
Due to .PNG file's lossless compression, they are the preferred file type on the wiki. However, .JPG files, while secondary, are also encouraged on Fandom. Moreover, images should not contain subtitles or captions (unless the case of superimposed subtitles appeared in the episode). Watermarks are only permitted when no images are available without watermarks. When non-watermarked images are available, they are the preferred image type.
Images should be named, licensed and categorized accordingly.
Due to copyright issues, fan art is not permitted anywhere on Anne with an E Wiki. Fanart for user pages must be approved by an admin, and must be of the users own making. This policy will be strictly enforced. Fanart is defined as any drastically edited images, graphics, and fan videos. User made .GIF files are permitted on user pages but not on main articles.
Category Guide
- Main article: Anne with an E Wiki:Category Guide
A category is a group of pages with a similar theme, such as characters, books, or places. You can add a category link to any page, and it will automatically be listed on a category page with other similarly linked pages. Categories help organize the community and make it easier for readers to find related content. Ideally, every wiki page should be in at least one category. A category page itself can be in another category. So, for example, a wiki might have a category called "Characters" with sub-categories for "Minor characters", "Dead characters", and "Main characters".
At the bottom of each page, there is a set of 'Related Pages' images to help guide visitors from one page to another; these are chosen based on category tags on each page. The more specific the category tags are, the better these suggestions will be.
