'''WikiIndex: | {{Draft policy}} | ||
: | '''WikiIndex:File deletion policy''' — ''note:'' this {{tag|WikiIndex}} policy page is in its infancy. Please post any suggested ideas to the [[WikiIndex talk:File deletion policy|talk page]] to collaborate. | ||
[[ | WikiIndex hosts {{tag|images}} and other media [[file]]s in order to enhance the textual content of this wiki. These media can provide visual context, and make pages more asthetically appealing. Common [[deletion]] reasons are listed at the interface page [[MediaWiki:Filedelete-reason-dropdown]], and include: | ||
;Copyright violation: Depending on the [[:Category:License|license]] of a certain piece of media, and if someone wants to enforce [[:Category:Copyright|copyright]], we may be obliged to remove someone else's images, sounds, or videos. However, under United States law, we ''are'' entitled to host [[WikiIndex:Copyrights|copyright]] images under a '[[WikiIndex:Fair use|fair use]]' clause. | |||
;Author request: Files which have been uploaded by a [[user]], and that same user subsequently asks that it be [[Template:Delete|deleted]]. This also applies to content in other [[WikiIndex:Namespace conventions|namespaces]]. | |||
;Duplicated file: Unneeded identical copies of the same image. | |||
;Not a wiki logo: Most of the files uploaded here are images, and most of those images are [[:Category:WikiLogo|wiki logos]]. We do not provide free personal hosting for miscellany, and files which are not wiki logos should have a clear justification for existing on this WikiIndex site. It is incumbent upon uploaders to provide a rationale for why we should have files that they place here. | |||
;Incorrect image: Factually incorrect, e.g., a logo which is of a different site, or a photograph of a [[:Category:Wiki people|wiki person]] which is actually a photograph of someone else. However, we must remember that some wiki sites may update their logo, or even change it to be unrecognisable from its predecessor; so in this instance, we <u>do</u> keep said former logos. | |||
;Empty file, no image/video: Missing, corrupted, or otherwise blank media. | |||
;Obscene: Content relevant to the mission of WikiIndex, but which is rather patently obscene, or meant to arouse, frighten, or anger even reasonable folks than constructively depicting the topic of a wiki or otherwise supportive in the understanding of its mission. | |||
;Other policy violation: A 'catch all' reason not included in any of the above. One example might include a 'take down' request by a recognised law enforcement agency. | |||
File [[deletion]] is up to the discretion of an [[Sysop|admin]], and it is [[Special:Undelete|reversible]]. Accidents happen, and if you feel like a file deletion was unnecessary or an accident, please contact the deleting admin to review. | |||
