Halopedia is not an image hosting site. Any images you upload must be used in Halopedia's articles or in your own personal userspace.

Please ensure that the image you're about to upload doesn't already exist. MediaWiki has the functionality to detect duplicate images. If, after uploading you find the image already exists, please tag your image for deletion and use the existing image.

When you upload an image to Halopedia be sure to select an appropriate license from the dropdown box. For more information, see our help pages.
