Hello,
In order to keep certain maintenance tasks to a minimum this wiki doesn't allow the frivolous uploading of Images and Videos. Especially when they 1) don't relate to the subject of Vocaloid and 2) are meant for personal use (like decorating a User's page, Blog or placing in Comments sections).
- Images
We have an Image policy. The general policy is
- Do not use the Wikia as an image host / Personal pictures unrelated to the intent of this wiki or will be of no use, must be hosted to an image hosting site such as Photobucket, Tinypic, Imageshack. If you require help on how to embed hot linked images then please contact the administrator or use the following code provided.
- <div align="center / left / right">image link here.jpg</div>
- The template {{Imagehotlink}} is able to link images upload from the mentioned image host, the image has to be resized by the user because Wikia does not have a system that adjusts hotlinked images.
- Videos
Recently Wikia developers decided to turn the video tags, such as <youtube>ID here</youtube> into a code that instantly allows a video to upload. This can be viewed as a problem due to the amount of visitors using it as convenience which means double maintenance deleting them when they are no longer of use or are no longer available from their source and have no replacement.
- Instead the template {{Youtube}} is available to use, it only requires the ID number, there are options such as size and alignment.
- The Rotating videos on the main page were not meant to be uploads (a Wiki bot changed this). These videos are meant to be temporary so using the tag made it easier to change videos around without having to delete them later.
- Long term videos are usually Vocaloid demos or informative previews about voice banks.
