* '''Image description''': Use the image description page to describe an the image , its source and purpose. For IMSMA screenshots this includes the data source used, the IMSMA version and possibly its copyright statusthe interface language.* '''Title''': Use a clear, detailed title. Note that if any image with the same title has already been uploaded, it will be replaced with your new one.* '''Resolution''': Upload a high-resolution version of your image whenever possible, and use the automatic thumbnailing option of the MediaWiki image markup to scale down the image. MediaWiki accepts images up to 100 MB in size. Do not scale down the image yourself, as scaled-down images may be of limited use in the future.* '''Cropping''': Crop the image to highlight the relevant subject.* '''Translation''': If you create an image that contains text, please also upload a version without any text. It will be useful in the future to translate the image into other languages.* '''Colours''': Try not to use color colour alone to convey information, as it is inaccessible in many situations.* Use JPEG format for photographic images and TV or movie screenshots; SVG format for icons, logos, drawings, maps, flags, and such; PNG format for software screenshots and when only a raster image is available; GIF format for inline animations; and Ogg/Theora for video.* '''Thumbnails''': In general, there is no need to specify thumbnail size. Users can select their ideal size in preferences.* '''Summary''': Add in the summary of each printscreen the version (e.g Version 6) so that during search will be easier to recognize them.* '''Callouts''': Use black callouts with white background in case you upload a printscreen.
