 You should place the image on whatever categories it fits. Whenever possible, it should be under the most specific (deepest) categories available. Use the following checklist to decide what categories to use.
-*Game: [[:Category:Pikmin 1 images|''Pikmin'']], [[:Category:Pikmin 2 images|''Pikmin 2'']], [[:Category:Pikmin 3 images|''Pikmin 3'']], [[:Category:Hey! Pikmin images|''Hey! Pikmin'']], [[:Category:Pikmin Bloom images|''Pikmin Bloom'']], [[:Category:Non-Pikmin images|Non-''Pikmin'' images]] (things not belonging to the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]]), or none.

 *Character: Categorize any main characters that appear in the image, if they are visible enough to be of interest. e.g. [[:Category:Captain Olimar images]].

 ===License===
-Each type of image requires a different image licensing template. For most types of files, the license is chosen automatically when you select the appropriate type, but if you are ever given the question about what the license should be, please pick from these options (which could vary depending on some conditions):
+Every uploaded file requires a licensing message to be displayed. For game/media copyrighted fair use, omit the <code>license</code> parameter entirely from the {{tem|file info}} template. This should be done for all content from or of the ''Pikmin'' games and similar media, such as screenshots, artwork, and textures. In other cases, such as a user image or real-world photograph, see [[Template:License]] for a list of available options. If a specific license is required which is not listed, it may need to be added to the template.
-*"Video game screenshot" for when it's an in-game screenshot.
-*"Concept art" for official concept art or artwork made by the developers of a game.
-*"Audio" for audio files.
-*"User image" for an image that is irrelevant to the series, and is to be used by users only (read more [[#User images|here]]).
-*"Texture" for an image that comes directly from the game's files.
-*"Public domain" for when the image doesn't have any licensing. Only pick this if you know what you're doing.
-*"Copyrighted" for images that belong to somebody else, but are meant to be used fairly on the wiki.
-*"Free licenses" for specific licenses, when you know what they are.
 ===User images===
 You can upload images that are not related to the wiki or the series, especially if you only plan on using them for yourself, but remember to not overdo it. We're not an image hosting platform. You may only have '''five user images'''.
+===Transparency crops===
+You may crop out the background of an image so that it's replaced with transparency, but make sure the image retains a good quality, the leftover blank space around the subject is gone, and there are no obvious artifacts from the cropping process.
