Rules or guidelines have yet to be made, though I suppose it should be like the one in Wikipedia. These are what I deem appropriate at the moment, it obviously contains my preferences and personal taste so I apoglize in advance.

Copyrighted things are a gray area here. Obviously since this is a wiki, we take images from the manga, anime, and novel and just put on Template:fairuse as it should be as we are doing for the purpose of education and the dessimination of information. There are a few unwritten rules among wiki related to manga, which is that one must always remove the text from the thought and speech bubbles, as well as the removal of any watermarks from any scanlation group.

Screenshots from the anime are fine as you can see, though subtitles and watermarks (not the TV station logo where the episode was first broadcasted) should be removed as well. It should also be in reasonable quality as well, so properly resized images are fine but anything from anime streaming websites whose automated resizing of videos are frowned upon and will be either replaced or deleted.

However, images from other series are a gray area and fan art, and though I do not prevent them from being uploaded, it should not be used in any page other than the user's own page. Moreover, fan art of things from Toaru Majutsu no Index for the use in articles are not allowed as it depicts the fan artist's idealized vision of the world of Toaru Majutsu no Index. Illustrations or manga pages that have been colored are okay, and should be uploaded under the uploader's descretion. The artist should be credited however or even informed if they can.

Of other images, such as photographs of real world subject, are a little touchy but they are still used here such as in the Mami Kawada article. With this in mind, just take a low quality or medium quality image and label it as fairuse if it is to be put in an article.

Public domain images can be uploaded here, as well as user-made ones, an example of both of these are the maps found in the Hawaii Invasion Arc article.

Also, the wiki bot doesn't like graphic images so any lewd or gory images even if it is found in the anime or manga should be avoided.
