+{{KrytenKoro|Personally, my biggest problem with fanart being on the wiki was that it inevitably got uploaded to the main articles. We had fanart constantly being uploaded to [[Paopu Fruit]], [[Xehanort's Keyblade]], and [[Vanitas's Keyblade]]. Even the talkbox images would get uploaded to galleries because people were irresponsible about how they named and categorized them, and people couldn't tell that they were fake. I really, really want to make sure that if we end up allowing fanart, that it has to have a strict naming policy to keep that confusion from ever happening again. On the Digimon Wiki, which I also run, we have a pretty straightfoward rule (though it is made easier by how difficult it is to fake stuff there): any fanart that gets placed in a main article is deleted and banned from being uploaded again. If we decide that fanart will be reallowed...then we're going to have to make a strict rule about the naming. I'm just straight up not willing to put false info in the articles, whether it's the text or the image. Furthermore, most of the fanart that people put on their pages would be easier to just use the direct-linked url from the wikia, instead of reuploading it, like what I do with the cats on my user page.
+'''''That being said''''', renders are not fanart. They are fan-posed, certainly, but not fanart. It's totally fine to move over all of DE's stuff, I'm just...not totally comfortable saying "his art has to be on every single page", for various reasons. If the official art is totally unusable, then fan-renders are fine. Otherwise, they should go on a gallery page like all of the other art.
+Per the wikia page organization: Yes, they have some pretty good ideas with that that I would love for the merged wiki to integrate, with even more additions. I've said it before, but separating character pages into [http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Optimus_Prime_%28G1%29 tabs] works really damn well. This could either be done as a separate template, or it could be easily integrated into the infobox template I've been working on.}}
