			Whenever possible, several steps should be taken to ensure that images uploaded and used on the Gswiki are fully compatible with screen reading software. While not required, failure to do so may create hurdles for users relying on screen readers.

			# Images should include a basic description of what they look like as part of the image file description.
			# Images should be displayed using <code><nowiki>[[Image:File.png]]</nowiki></code> instead of <code><nowiki>[[File:File.png]]</nowiki></code>.
			# Images featured on articles should utilize alt text to include a basic description of what the image looks like.

			For more information on how to do any of these steps, see [Link to Gswiki Help article on images].

	The following list describes the classification of image files as designated by [[Gswiki:Policy]]. Image files have slightly different [[Gswiki:Policy#Copyrights\|Copyright]] requirements depending on their classification. It is possible for an image file to fall under more than one classification type, such as being both commissioned artwork ''and'' AI-generated artwork. In cases where an image file falls under more than one classification type, it should include all the required information for ''all'' applicable types.
