:Also, there are (as far as I've seen) at least two different placeholder images (one of an anime character holding a card backwards, one of a scan of the back of a card) used when a card's image is unavailable. Should one of them be made the standard one to use? Or should there be one for manga cards without images, one for anime cards without images, and one for OCG/TCG cards without images? I think it would seem a little... neater I guess if they were uniform.

- Newest Errata (lore)
- English (if not available, then Japanese)
- Clearest image
- Avoid Ultimate Rares and Ghost Rares
- If it's an anime only card, clearest screenshot, but if a Tag Force image is available, we use that.
- If it's a manga only card, clearest image.
From observations, the preferred card image we use goes in that order. But what about alternate artworks, etc? Does anyone have more to add to the list? -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 00:22, January 24, 2011 (UTC)
Alternate Artworks
As far as alternate artworks are concerned, they should only be used on the card's page if they are easier to see, or for some reason easier to get a good scan of than the original card. I don't know if this is the case for any cards, however, if it happens to be, then it makes sense to go with the clearest image, regardless of which artwork it is.

- Also, relating to card clarity, making sure that the picture is a scan could be a requirement. There are at least a few cases when card images, like these three cards are pictures that were taken of the cards, in cases. Just a thought.
- Also, there are (as far as I've seen) at least two different placeholder images (one of an anime character holding a card backwards, one of a scan of the back of a card) used when a card's image is unavailable. Should one of them be made the standard one to use? Or should there be one for manga cards without images, one for anime cards without images, and one for OCG/TCG cards without images? I think it would seem a little... neater I guess if they were uniform. Jon Kovacs (talk • contribs) 03:22, January 26, 2011 (UTC)
- Unlike 'newest errata' (which can affect gameplay and rulings), there isn't a decisive reason to use the newest artwork, nor have I seen a Project page which says which to use.
- Those would be photos of the card, which were then rotated in Photoshop. If someone has a clearer photo or a scan of them, they could use the 'Upload a new version of this file' option on the image page. Photos seem to be acceptable if a scan is not available.
- The one where someone is holding the card backwards is for a manga card, the card backing is for the anime, TCG or OCG, depending on where the card can be found. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 07:03, January 26, 2011 (UTC)
