Hello everyone. As it has been discussed for the longest of times now, many of our character pages have several images in their galleries that are increasingly irrelevant to Death Battle, and ultimately just become dead weight that needlessly grow the pages. As a form of clean-up, there will be rules on what pictures can and cannot be placed in character galleries. However, as "relevant" has a lot of gray area, it is important to define what exactly qualifies as good.

I have a few ideas as to what will work.

For some more obvious, pictures depicting actual scenes of the character in their episode or the sprite/model used in their animation are definitely allowed. These are directly related to the episode itself.

Pictures referring to famous feats or events involving the character, such as Bane breaking the Bat, that are either likely to be referred to in the Death Battle or was referred to should be allowed in the galleries as well.

For characters with multiple forms, one picture of each form used or likely to be used in Death Battle should be allowed as well.

For pages consisting of multiple characters in one duo or team, a picture for each notable team member should be allowed as well. For the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, for example, a single picture of each ranger and their zords would be allowed, but pictures of the Dragonzord and Titanus, which were not used in Power Rangers VS Voltron, would be prohibited.

For characters of multiple weapons, a few core weapons they use frequently could be allowed on the pages, but obviously characters like Mega Man cannot have all 100+ of his weapons on his page for sake of keeping the page to a moderate size. About 15 should serve as a fair maximum.

Any time Death Battle refers to a ridiculous feat of a character, such as Lex Luthor stealing 40 cakes, an image depicting this should be fine as well.

As such, the origins of a notable reference in Death Battle could be allowed as well, such as a panel of Iron Man's playing human quote to Daredevil that inspired his similar quote to Lex Luthor, though this is beginning to be stretching as relevent.

However, there is NO reason to have several pictures of the characters from their various incarnations in fiction, as these have nothing to do with the Death Battle the characters relate to. As such, character forms, weapons, or feats that prove to not be mentioned or shown in Death Battle should be deleted upon an hour after the episode's public release, around the same time that spoilers can be publicly discussed.

Now these are just a few of my ideas, but nothing is finalized. Please give feedback as to what you think should and shouldn't be allowed, and I will formulate a list of guideline in a few days.

Until next Time
