Preferably, images should be less than 150KB, and a warning is issued automatically when uploading larger files. There is generally no need to upload images with a resolution larger than 800x600; resize if necessary. If you are ever unsure, always save an image as a PNG file, as this is a lossless file format, which means that you will not lose image quality, and someone else can alter the image for you. | Preferably, images should be less than 150KB, and a warning is issued automatically when uploading larger files.

There are two ways that videos can be embedded in pages on the wiki: by "uploading" them, which creates a page for the video that can be from one of a number of video sharing sites; or by using the ''<nowiki><youtube></nowiki>'' tag on the article to show a video from [http://www.youtube.com YouTube]. All embedded videos are Flash-based. The rules for embedding videos here are as follows: | |||
*Uploaded videos must be for articles on the wiki: no personal videos are allowed. Use ''<nowiki><youtube></nowiki>'' tags instead. | |||
*Uploaded videos do not get categorised. They are all placed in [[:Category:Videos]] by default and should be nowhere else. | |||
*The number of videos used in articles should be kept to a minimum, and used only where necessary and useful. Examples of this are videos of glitches, which are easier to understand through a video (though the text should not rely on videos for understanding, to cater for those who cannot watch them). | |||
