The Counter-Strike Online Wiki permits the use of media to further enhance the reader's experience. To help ensure the stability, consistency and professionalism of the wiki, the media policy is a set of guidelines for uploading and using media.

Images

 * Personal images

The Counter-Strike Online Wiki is not an image hosting website. If an image is unrelated to the Counter-Strike Online or the actual wiki, it should not be uploaded here, including images for exclusive use on user pages.

If you insist on uploading personal images, you should use an image hosting website like Imgur.

Personal images uploaded to the Counter-Strike Wiki will be deleted without notice.


 * Image format

The preferred image format is .png, as it has no compression artifacts and supports transparency. Ideally, every image uploaded to the Counter-Strike Online Wiki should use the .png format. However, exceptions are given to .jpg for screenshots and .gif for some images.


 * Transparency

Certain images should be transparent. As images are often used in templates and galleries, transparency adds a much greater level of professionalism. This specifically applies to icons, sprays, and similar images. In-game screenshots should not be made transparent.

If you do not know how to adjust an image's transparency or lack the software to do so, upload the image and another editor can assist by adding transparency and re-uploading it.


 * Cropping

With the exception of certain in-game screenshots, every image should be cropped to show only the topic at hand.

Videos
You cannot upload videos to Counter-Strike Online Wiki but you can embed it to pages from YouTube. Make sure it relates to the pages and appropriate. Up to 3 videos are allowed to every page and admins will select the best 3. The usual ones are official trailers from the official websites.

Sounds
Firing sound, reloading sound and background music are legal as long as they are official. Sounds must be converted to ogg format before uploading.
