Astro Boy Fanon:Image policy/Tutorial

Images are an important part of the Astro Boy Fanon Wiki. Feel free to upload as many as your pages need, but please be sure to follow these guidelines while doing so.

Copyrighted material
Officially licensed images and media are permitted on the Fanon Wiki as per Fair Use: reposting them counts as "a limited and “transformative” purpose, such as to comment upon, criticize, or parody a copyrighted work". Sharing copyrighted images, such as manga panels and anime screenshots, is very much allowed, because single images do not replace the experience of viewing the original source material.

However, do not upload copyrighted works in their entirety. Entire films and books in video or document form should be uploaded elsewhere.

Permissions
Only upload images to the wiki that you have permission to use. If someone has drawn art of your character or world, be sure to only upload it if you have that person's permission. Wikia Fandoms are highly-trafficked informational websites, and without extra credits, most people will assume most images are distributive under the above copyrighted material criteria.

Be sure to include a credit within the image's caption, or in the image's description during upload. It does not need to be anything complicated; a simple "[Character] drawn by [artist's name, source link]" will work just fine. This helps the wiki with archiving and media distribution.

Reposting images
Any original images you first posted to the wiki are obviously fine to repost. However, images pertaining to other users' characters and worlds should only be reposted elsewhere with source credit and/or permission from the original uploader. Here is some official insight from Fandom Wiki support:

"Fandom is a host for user generated content, and most images are uploaded by individual users under the fair use provision of copyright law. As such, we are unable to either give or deny permission for their use. However, you could try contacting the individual user who uploaded the image on the message wall or talk page. You can find uploader information on the file description page for that image."

In short, if you would like to repost any images posted to this wiki, please contact with the original uploader.
