For New Members
Hello new members! Before you make any edits to the images on the RuneScape Wiki, Please read the Image and media policy. To start helping with this project there are a few things you should know.

First: This project mainly does edits to articles within Category:Standard detail images, Category:JPEG images, Category:Dithered images, and Category:Images needing transparency. We are attempting give all of the images a professional, uniform look that compliments the text information on the RuneScape Wiki.

Secondly: Although our mission is to update images and keep the RuneScape wiki's media up to date, this does not give you the right to replace a perfectly good image with one featuring your own character. Images should only be replaced if absolutely necessary.

Images and media policy Please be familiar with and attempt to adhere to the Images and media policy when editing existing images or uploading new images.

Regarding Concise Clarity: Always where possible keep the image clearly focused on the topic matter. Images should show the entirety of what they are intended to show, in addition to showing it in sufficient detail.


 * Regarding Concise Clarity specific to Clue scroll locations
 * Clue scroll location images should have the minimap included in the picture, especially for those located in the wilderness. Many readers would like to be able to quickly get to their destination spot in order to leave the wilderness. For example, if an SD image that has a minimap is replaced with an HD one that does not have a minimap, then our readers are being disserviced as the clarity of the location image has become compromised in regards to the content of the image.

To Dos

 * Add the appropriate templates to images requiring attention.
 * Template:Sd
 * Template:Jpeg
 * Template:Gif
 * Template:Anti-aliased
 * Template:Transparency
 * Template:Interfering combat
 * Template:Inventory shadow
 * Template:Separate
 * Category:Standard detail images - These images should be replaced with more recent images, taken after the graphics update.
 * Category:Images needing transparency - These images should be made transparent.
 * Category:JPEG images - These images should be replaced with new images saved in the PNG format.
 * Category:Dithered images - These still images should be replaced with better quality PNG images. For more information about why png offer better compression than gif do read this
 * Category:Anti-aliased images - These still images should be replaced with better quality PNG images with anti-aliasing turned off (this allows for better transparency). Note, however, that anti-aliasing should be enabled if no transparency is to be applied to the image (see example on the talk page).
 * Category:Taken before Animation Packs - These images should be replaced with images that are taken after any of the Animation Pack updates.
 * Category:Game Guide images - Editors should check to see if they can take a superior screenshot of these images on their own in-game.
 * Category:Combat images with interference - These images should be retaken in such a way that combat not longer interferes with the image's clarity.
 * Category:Inventory images with shadows - These images should be uploaded with the shadow erased.
 * Category:Images needing to be separated - These images should be separated into smaller parts.

Specific to animated Images:
 * Add the Template:Anti-aliasing needed template to animations requiring that are not anti-aliased, Template:Long animation to animations that are too long, Template:Short animation to animations that are choppy (i.e. too short), and Template:Unnecessary animation to animations of subjects that do not need to be animated.
 * Category:Animation lacks anti-aliasing - These animations were taken without anti-aliasing enabled and need replacement with anti-aliased animations.
 * Category:Animations which are too long - These have extra frames at the beginning or end which makes them too long; trim or retake to be shorter.
 * Category:Animations which are too short - These are hectic or choppy, retake to be smoother.
 * Category:Unnecessary animations - These do not need to be animated, upload a still image (preferably retake a PNG image).

Note that not all animations are necessary. Try to minimise excessive animations within articles.

Not To Dos

 * Converting JPEGs to PNG (or GIF) should not be done unless the PNG is original and not derived from JPEG. If an image is originally JPEG format, then it is likely best to leave it in that format until a better original comes along. Converting JPEGs to PNG virtually always excessively increases the size of the image and does not add any quality. Therefore save time and bandwidth, leave JPEG files as JPEG unless recreating them from scratch.
 * Converting low quality GIFs to PNG. GIFs that use indexed color have a significant difference in quality that will remain in a PNG copy. As with JPEG images, a new screenshot must be taken in order ensure the best quality.

Recent Activity
