Rules

There are two categories of rules:

• Strict - they need to be followed directly
• Alterable - they can be altered to fit the article; it depends on the contributor's decision

Strict rules

1. Galleries need to contain around 200 images (per 11 minutes) of the scenes from the actual episode (credits images are not counted)
2. Galleries need to show the order of images as they appear to give an idea as to the episode's storyline
3. Images that are identical or nearly identical need to be removed
4. All images in gallery must not contain extra graphics on them (i.e. logos, including the Nickelodeon logo)
5. All images must be screenshots at 1080p resolution, photos taken by camera are not acceptable
6. All images need to be of the same resolution and contain no extra part of the image (i.e. extra space, such as a border)
7. Captions are not allowed in episode galleries
8. The first line of all galleries must be the following:

   <gallery widths="180" position="center">

9. Image file names need to follow this name scheme:

• File:Help Wanted 001.png
• File:Help Wanted 002.png

11. Images must only follow the above name scheme if the gallery contains images of the full episode. Images from teasers and promos must not use it.
12. Images of title cards need to follow this name scheme:

• File:Help Wanted title card.png
• File:Reef Blower title card.png

Alterable rules

• If some of the images in the gallery do not follow the strict rules #5 or #6, they need to be replaced with an image of the same scene that does.
  • If a contributor thinks that an image should be removed and it is not a duplicate, they can remove it, but they need to specify why in the edit summary.
  • However, the contributor is not allowed to remove all images that were in the gallery and put their own images there. This wiki is community-built.

Notes

• A gallery of episode production art needs to be put as a subsection of the main article's section "Production" and the subsection should be called "Art."
