==Guidelines==
===Screenshots===
Screenshots should be posted as such and not altered in any way. Therefore, cropped images and additions meant to indicate a particular part of the image (such as red circles or arrows) are not allowed. Close-up views can, however, constitute an exception in  some rare cases.
 
==Quality requirements==
===Screenshots from ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''===
Please read the following topic: '''[http://www.raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=4824 How to include ''Rayman'' images to RayWiki]'''.
===Artworks===
Artworks must be uploaded to the wiki in their original version, without any modifications, including file conversion or compression.

A. About 1 in every 256 files that are uploaded here will end up on the directory below, and chances are your adblocking software is interfering with it. If you upload a pic and you can't see it for this reason, try disabling your adblock at raymanpc.com and they should be back. If the same problem occurs for any other reason, please contact [[User:Hunchman801|Hunchman801]].
