This is a STYLE GUIDE page- part of a series of supplements to assist you in your editing of the wiki. The STYLE GUIDE is currently in construction. Please be patient.

Below is a guide to certain areas of the wiki that require images.

Infobox Pictures

For character infoboxes, use landscape oriented photos or those that would fit in a landscape frame. Screenshots are typically landscape. Exceptions from the landscape guidelines are Zords/Mecha, Megazords/Giant Robos and Monsters.

As for the size, it is preferable that the head of the subject make up 1/3 of the photo.

GOOD!: Subject's head occupies 1/3

BAD!: Subject's face occupies most of the photo.

BAD!:Subject is relatively too "far".

If the photo is not landscape the infoboxes, especially those of Rangers will crop it for you. Check to see that it looks good on the photo. The photo will keep the top portion and trim the lower part if it is portrait-oriented.

GOOD!: When cropped, the result is the subject's head occupying 1/3

BAD!: Subject is dead center in portait orientation. Part of face will be cropped off.

BAD!: Subject is on lower portion in portait orientation. Part of face will be cropped off.
