 * If you wish to upload fanart and pictures made by someone other than yourself, you must first obtain permission from them before uploading. They own the copyright, and using their fanart does not qualify as fair use because it is not canon, and also disrespectful to the artist.
 * If it is uploaded without permission, or without including the appropriate copyright templates a "Deletion Template" will be added to the image and you'll have a week or so to get permission to use the image. If you fail to do so, the image will be deleted.

User Images

 * If an image is 100% self-created or a photograph you have taken, categorize it as Category:User Images. Under Licensing you may release it under the Creative Commons or another compatible license, release it into the public domain, or decide to keep it copyrighted.

 * If an image fails all the above, but you would still like to use it, please upload it to an external image hosting website like photobucket. If it is stil uploaded to the Chrono Wiki, it will be deleted and you will be given a warning.

Copyrighted Images

 * Any copyrighted image uploaded must have fair-use rationale and must be categorized as Category:Fair use images.
