Halopedia:Media policy

Halopedia allows for the uploading of images for use on article pages and user pages. To allow for the smooth operation of the site and to ensure that no one is offended, this guideline is in place for the uploading and usage of images and image contents.

Uploading images can be done at the Upload file page. How to do this can be found at the Image help section. However, some images are subject to immediate deletion if they are determined to serve no purpose or are against Halopedia's productive spirit.

Images that can be deleted:
An image uploaded to Halopedia can be deleted if they are...


 * Obscene- Halopedia is not a censored website, and the target audience for the Halo universe is 17 years and above. However, images that contain obsceneties, pornography, graphic real-world violence, or sexual acts are not permissible on the site, or on userpages. The developlers of Halo do not prodice such images, and thus they have no place on the site. These images also have great potential to offend other users. Repeatedly uploading such images can be grounds for blocking for vandalism as part of Halopedia's Blocking Policy.


 * Unused- Halopedia is not a repository for images that are unrelated to Halo and unusable on article pages. Images that are uploaded by users for individual userpages will be added to their userpage and organized into an Image Category for proper use. If an image is not related to Halo and is uploaded and not used, it will be deleted.


 * Duplicate- Halopedia's image categories were created and organized so that users could find desired images relatively quickly and so that duplicate images are not uploaded. Though Halopedia has unlimited space for images and articles, duplicare images create confusion and make organizing difficult. Duplicate images that are uploaded will be deleted and redirected to the original image.
