IMPORTANT:
All submissions, including images, to Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia must
a) be written by yourself OR
b) be copied from a PUBLIC domain or similar free resource.
c) preferably not contain any overprints (site or contributor name) on the images.

For all images the preferred specs are 400x580 jpg images unless not available. Any surroundings of the card itself should be removed, even white borders. If there is an image already on the server that meets this criteria and you would like to upload a "cleaner" image, please contact one of the admins first. If there is no image, check the card galleries first, then please feel free to upload it but keep the specs as close to preferred as possible.

Please remember this website is a dynamic site and changes occur all the time, if your image is replaced because it doesn't fit the current image policy do not be offended. We are trying to collect the best Yu-Gi-Oh! images to improve our articles.

OCG/TCG File names are to be standardized as follows:

CardName is the official UDE English Card Name of the card (if it exists in the English TCG) OR, the commonly-accepted English translation of the card's name from Japanese (if it does NOT exist in the English TCG). If you're dealing with Japanese OCG-only cards, a good source of accepted English name translations are the numerous Yu-Gi-Oh! video games. If at all possible, try to get the name from the NEWEST of these (i.e., try WC6 first, then NTR, then WC5, and so on). In the card name please spell it exactly as it appears on the card without spaces, including the following characters:

• Commas (,)
• Dashes/Hyphens (-)
• Ampersands (&)
• Exclamation Marks (!)
• Percent Signs (%)

The only exceptions to this rule are Periods (.), Question Marks (?), and Number Signs (#).

SET is the two to four character abbreviation used for the set's name (e.g., MFC for Magician's Force, 301 for "The New Ruler", etc.). For Anime cards, please ignore this section.
