==Images==
*Game covers, screenshots, official art, or any other picture of something that Square probably made is assumed under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] on this wiki since they are not being used commercially.  Thus, you don't need to check to see if you can use it or not.

===Fanart===
*Fanart you made yourself are allowed to be uploaded to Chrono Wiki. Please categorize your uploaded fanart as such.([[:Category:Fanart]])
*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 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 [[wikipedia:Fair use rationale#Use rationale|fair-use rationale]] and must be categorized as [[:Category:Fair use images]].
*Any copyrighted image that does not have rationale, such as random anime/cartoon or game images, must be uploaded to an external image hosting website. If it is uploaded to the FFWiki, it ''will'' be deleted.
