Image and Video usage and relevance[]
- The policy on the Good Omens Wiki is four images per scene.
- Due to lossless compression of PNG files, they are the preferred file type on the Good Omens Wiki. JPG files, while secondary, are also encouraged on the wiki.

Quality[]
- Only images of the highest possible quality are permitted. Shrunken, stretched, or blurry images will be immediately deleted.
- Cropping and alterations of light or color are permitted only when they enhance or better communicate the picture message.
- If an image contains a large amount of empty space around the main focal point, cropping the picture may enhance the image and offer clarity on the subject.
- If an image is of a dark scene, lightening the picture may enhance the image and better depict the subject.
- Images can be replaced when a better version of the image exists. The replaced image must be identical to the previous image.
