abstract
| - All images uploaded to the Custom BIONICLE Wiki are of ownership to user that uploaded the image, unless the image was not originally produced by the uploader. If the image was publicly released by a company, then it may be uploaded and used by anyone. If the image does not belong to the uploader, the uploader must have permission from the original owner of the image, or the image may be deleted by an administrator. All images must be BIONICLE related, regardless of their purpose. Any off-topic (non-BIONICLE) images can be deleted by an administrator without further reasoning and/or explanation. Images may be used in any article at the owner's discretion. This includes galleries and thumbnails (seen in the infoboxes). It is highly recommended all articles have at least one image - a 1:1 ratio for articles to images. If there are an overly large amount of images for on article, a gallery may be created. Galleries can be created at the end of a page or can be made into subpages if necessary. (For more information, see Layout Guide/Galleries.) Images may only be used by the owner of an image, unless permission is given by the owner of the image. If the image is a public image uploaded by a company, such as LEGO, it may be used by anyone. Videos should usually not be contained in articles. The only kinds of video that are acceptable are those that describe some kind of event in the story or show the subject of an article in more detail. All others should be uploaded on a video hosting website and linked to or not included at all. The above policies do not apply to user pages or user blogs, but it is strongly recommended that personal images and videos be kept to an absolute minimum. Again, it is often better if they are uploaded on an image or video hosting website (i.e., Brickshelf, YouTube) and then linked to from the Custom BIONICLE Wiki. Any amount of any images may be used on a user blog by the image's owner or if permission is given by the image's owner, so long as the blog is on-topic and relates to Custom BIONICLE in some way. For additional information, see the user blog policy. Please note: The entire above policy applies for videos as well.
