The article is a guideline about uploading images to the Vocal Synthesizer Wiki.
DO NOT create pages or upload images of fanmade VOCALOID characters on the Vocal Synthesizer Wiki. Please go to FANLOID Wiki for fanmade VOCALOIDs.
Any UTAU or DeepVocal must have or have had a functioning voicebank in order to be on this wiki. Characters with private voicebanks are acceptable.
Instructions[]
- Official media is the preference. See Community to link images on personal spaces.
- Licensing is required for all images. Refer to the drop menu or Category:Images.
- Images should receive descriptive names.
- Avoid uploading duplicate images, unless the upload is of better quality than the current image.
- Use the Summary box to link the original source of the image.
What to know[]
People naming[]
This includes voice providers, developers, and illustrators.
- File:Person_name.format
- Anything after that should receive a qualifier, such as File:Person_name screencap.png and so on.
Character naming[]
This includes official vocal synth characters and related images.
- File:Character name illust.format
- Anything after that should receive a qualifier, such as File:Character name poster.png and so on.
What to upload[]
You are allowed to upload images released for "fair use":
- Software boxart - as this is released to advertise.
- Promotional artwork - Concept art and full body art or otherwise.
- Merchandise - requires only one to two images.
- For manga related pages, only upload volume covers and never whole pages. If any artwork directly from a manga is used, only 1 frame is allowed per page and no more.
- Non-promotional artwork by illustrators are acceptable, however, we must draw the line due to copyright and if the image is useful to the wiki or not.
What not to upload[]
- Explicit images - are against Fandom's Terms of Use and will result in a warning or ban by this wiki's administrators or Fandom Staff.
- Please note that as of June 2019, linkage to any sort of "booru" site, or similar explicit image boards are prohibited on FANDOM.
- Fanart and off-topic art - Uploading fanart and/ or off-topic art to this wiki is strictly prohibited. Uploads of fanart and off-topic art will be counted as spam and deleted.
- Please note that many artists (including official illustrators) actively object to having their personal artwork or fanart reprinted to websites without permission.
- Music videos - As stated in the image guidelines; this wiki is not a image or video hosting service.
- The only acceptable embeds are official promotional videos and tutorials via a software's respective companies.
- If a company, creator, or studio objects to an image being on the wiki, the wiki will remove it and cannot add it back.
- Grounds for "Fair Use" does not give us the right to upload every image without consequence and this should never be used as an excuse for a particular image to exist on the wiki for the sake of it existing here.
- Barred images include the following:
