:Not really. In fact, it's probably too lenient.
:Pikipedia isn't a social media website, it's a wiki for documenting Pikmin things. User images are allowed for people's user pages and signature, to give them some personality. Maybe there can be one or two other creative uses of user images, but in a wiki, that's not very likely. The idea of a wiki isn't for people to use their user page like a meme gallery, filled with their favorite images. There are other websites out there that do a better job at that.
:In addition, remember that a human ([[User:Porplemontage|Porple]]) has to pay for Pikipedia to stay up and running. Using this website as an image host is against the wiki idea, and is very frowned upon, since they have to pay for storage space and for hosting costs just so the images can be used elsewhere that has nothing to do with Pikipedia.
:As recently discussed on Discord, 2 or 3 user images should be enough for everything a person wants to do on a wiki. It's probably a good idea to change the limit to that. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 16:28, June 16, 2021 (EDT)
