By all means, upload off-wiki the Days images and link them back here. I'm wiling to help (though I should warn, I don't have constant access to a computer). I'm for what Xion4Ever says here, my proposal is to spare the ones I mentioned, those with a purpose (I hope I don't sound like Xemans, that would be wierd).}}

{{ShardofTruth|time=15:48, 5 January 2014 (UTC)|talk=I think this all started when the number of fan-edited talk sprites that were uploaded here became too damn high. That was when the no fanart rule was created which was the easiest one to enforce. Because some of them are official and others are still widely in use, replacing them takes a lot of time and causes some other problems (for example editing other user's personal space, necroposting in years old forums posts) while on the other hand just deleting them makes our [[:Special:WantedFiles]] even more useless that it is now.<br>

Anyway I have a slightly different opinion on this matter. Basically I think talk sprites are part of the games and therefore can have a place here as long as they are used, be it in the characters gallery, a user's talk template or other places.  They can even be mirrored (because that happens in the games too) and cropped (because we do this here all the time) but shouldn't be duplicates or altered (to show a different expression than the official ones for example), these images should still be uploaded elsewhere.<br>

From my point of view all talk sprites that are official should be renamed to fit our file naming policy and can stay here (like it's done for some [[:Category:Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories Talk Sprites|CoM talk sprites]] already), the rest should be deleted and/or moved elsewhere.<br>
