Images, as well as [[Help:Media|audio and video]] files, are essential to provide examples about what articles are detailing in words. All articles should use at least one image, with the exception of [[:Category:Implied|implied]] or unseen subjects. Various maintenance tasks may be required for the file itself (such as issues with quality and categorization), the use of the file on pages, or the request for the uploading of additional files where required. Files should also closely follow the [[Project:Image use policy|image use policy]], and new revisions to files may only be uploaded by [[Project:Autoconfirmed users|autoconfirmed users]].
