Dragon Age Wiki:Image guidelines

Every users of this Wiki (both registered and unregistered) are obligated to follow the below guildlines regarding handling the images.

Infobox pictures
This is the most important picture for articles using an infobox, especially for characters. For the Infoboxes, that we should use the picture that would best represent them. Examples:


 * Leliana has a cameo in Dragon Age II, but her role in Dragon Age: Origins is clearly bigger. As such, it makes more sense to use her picture for Origins.
 * Merrill appears in Origins, but her role in Dragon Age II is more prominent. The Dragon Age II picture is used.

This depends on their role in the game, on whichever appearance is most likely to be associated with. We are aware this is subjective, but that is why we have talk pages to discuss if the picture is appropriate or not.

There are other characters who are equally or so important in any game. For example, Delilah Howe appears briefly in Dragon Age II, as she does in Awakening. In that case, we keep the version of the latest game.

The Warden/ Hawke/ Hawke's family
Pictures with a customized Warden, Hawke should be removed if they are featured on any mainspace articles. Pictures that contains default versions of The Warden and Hawke are permitted to include in the articles. Apart from that official pictures from Bioware are also permitted to include in the articles.

Armor sets/ Items sets
It is extremely difficult to take a picture of an armor set without taking the Warden's face on it, as some of them are restricted. As such cases, we can allow them.

However, for item sets for Dragon Age II, the default Hawke is best used. On the issue on female versus male, this is going to be at the discretion of the uploader. If it uses customized Hawke, it can stay; but it will be replaced with a picture that use the default Hawke eventually.
