THIS MEANS WAR! Seriously, though...


"Please do not upload images which are not produced by Square Enix or Disney, or are irrelevant to the project" does not trump "If you wish to upload your own fanart, you MUST assert that you drew it. Just keep it out of the mainspace", because the latter one is not a default. The default version has no restrictions at all; it merely says "Use this form to upload files". Furthermore, none of the restrictions are a matter of consensus, as only admins can alter them. For reference, if you think it should be changed, then an admin needs to edit MediaWiki:Uploadtext. Until such an edit is made, I retain the right to upload fanart under the condition I quoted previously, because said condition remains in writing as part of the wiki's policy on uploads until an edit is made to make it say otherwise.


P.S. Why is KHwiki so tetchy about this? I've never yet known any other wiki, e.g. FFwiki, to be anti-fanart-upload.

Category: I rest my case

I somewhat object to punishing innocents like myself by banning fanart uploads outright just because of a few jerks – especially since the jerks can still externally host their fanart and then link to it, so you still can't prevent it from being put in the mainspace by just forbidding it. Nonetheless, I accept it now that the text has been altered. I will happily allow my other fanart sprite scenes to be deleted too, as I am now externally hosting them. Just out of interest, how did you fail to notice and delete the other five?

I was being obnoxious not to be a jerk, but to make a point. You're welcome, btw, for the system message-editing thing. I only found out about it myself when I adopted Puzzles Wiki :P -- Sorceror Nobody, 19:17, October 30, 2009 (UTC)
