Yu-Gi-Oh!:Image Policy

Introduction

IMPORTANT:
All submissions, including images, to Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia must
a) be written by yourself OR
b) be copied from a PUBLIC domain or similar free resource.
c) preferably not contain any overprints (site or contributor name) on the images.

For card images the preferred specs are 400 × 580 PNG images unless not available. Any surroundings of the card itself should be removed, even white borders. If there is an image already on the server that meets this criteria and you would like to upload a "cleaner" image, please contact one of the admins first. If there is no image, check the card galleries first, then please feel free to upload it but keep the specs as close to preferred as possible. PNG is by far preferred, with a filesize around 600-700k, but JPEG is also accepted if PNG is not available.

For images of booster packs, 325 × 580 is preferred; images of booster boxes should be kept within 580 × 580.

Please remember this website is a dynamic site and changes occur all the time, if your image is replaced because it doesn't fit the current image policy, please do not be offended. We are trying to collect the best Yu-Gi-Oh! images to improve our articles.

Naming OCG/TCG card images[]

Guidelines
OCG/TCG File names are to be standardized as follows: CardNameSET-LN-R-ED-Misc.jpg or CardNameSET-LN-R-ED-Misc.png CardName is the official English Card Name of the card (if it exists in the English TCG) OR, the commonly-accepted English translation of the card's name from Japanese (if it does NOT exist in the English TCG). If you're dealing with Japanese OCG-only cards, a good source of accepted English name translations are the numerous Yu-Gi-Oh! video games. If at all possible, try to get the name from the NEWEST of these (i.e., try WC6 first, then NTR, then WC5, and so on). In the card name please spell it exactly as it appears on the card without spaces, including the following characters: Commas (,) Dashes/Hyphens (-) Ampersands (&) Exclamation Marks (!) Percent Signs (%) The only exceptions to this rule are Periods (.), Question Marks (?), Number Signs (#), Quotes ("), and Slashes (/ \). SET is the two to four character abbreviation used for the set's name (e.g., MFC for Magician's Force, 301 for "The New Ruler", etc.). For Anime cards, please ignore this section. Some early cards have no set abbreviation. In this case, certain "in house" abbreviations have been decided upon. These currently include:
Booster.1 = B01 Booster.2 = B02 Booster.3 = B03 Booster.4 = B04 Booster.5 = B05 Booster.6 = B06 Booster.7 = B07 Vol.1 = V1 Vol.2 = V2 Vol.3 = V3 Vol.4 = V4	Vol.5 = V5 Vol.6 = V6 Vol.7 = V7 Starter Box = SB Starter Box Promo = SBP Starter Box Guide Promo = SBG EX Starter Box = E Premium Pack 1 (OCG) = P1 Premium Pack 2 (OCG) = P2 Limited Edition 1 = L1		Limited Edition 2 = L2WJ Valuable Book 1 = VB1 Duel Monsters 1 = G1 Duel Monsters 2 = G2 New Duel Monsters 1 = S1 Premium Pack 2: Dark Ceremony = DC Duel Monsters 1 (Tournament) = DM1 Duel Monsters 2 (Tournament) = DM2 World Standard Championship 1 = WS1 World Standard Championship 2 = WS2 Asian Championship 1999 = T1
LN is a two-letter abbreviation indicating language.
EN = English (worldwide release) EU = European-English NA = English cards with no language ID AU = Australian-English AE = Asian-English JP = Japanese CH = Chinese		FR = French DE = German FC = French-Canadian IT = Italian KR = Korean PT = Portuguese SP = Spanish TH = Thai
R is to indicate card picture rarity.
Ghost Rare = GR Holographic Rare = HGR Ultra Parallel Rare = UPR Super Parallel Rare = SPR Normal Parallel Rare = NPR Ultra Secret Rare = UScR Secret Ultra Rare = ScUR	Secret Rare = ScR Ultimate Rare = UtR Ultra Rare = UR Super Rare = SR Holofoil Rare = HFR Rare = R Common = C		Duel Terminal Secret Parallel Rare = DScPR Duel Terminal Ultra Parallel Rare = DUPR Duel Terminal Super Parallel Rare = DSPR Duel Terminal Rare Parallel Rare = DRPR Duel Terminal Normal Parallel Rare = DNPR
ED is the availability of the card.
1E = 1st Edition UE = Unlimited Edition LE = Limited Edition DT = Duel Terminal Card SC = Strategy Card If the card's artwork is different from that normally appearing on the card (i.e., "Alternate Art" such as appears on Arkana's "Dark Magician" or the McDonald's "La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp"), add -AA to the filename. For example, LaJinntheMysticalGenieoftheLampMDP2-EN-R-AA.jpg
