The reason for the image policy is that images take up data space. The more images we have, the more space they take up on Wikia's databases, which in turn means more lag on our site.

Despite that, we allow people to use however many images they want on their userpage. All we ask is that you don't upload pictures that you don't use on your userpage or other wiki pages. The Recent Files page isn't an image stream. Images on the wiki are intended to be used on the wiki. So please, if you want to post pictures of your game exploits or anything else (acceptable stuff), feel free to do so. Just don't leave them unused and building up.
