BEST PRACTICES

Source Link: Each upload should have a source link pasted in the “Description” box to show where the image came from.
Avoid Duplicate Uploads: Before submitting an image, check the database to make sure the same or a similar photo hasn't already been uploaded.
Prioritize Official Sources: Only upload photos that come from verified or official production sources (e.g., broadcaster, studio, official social media accounts).
Upload Only One Version: If multiple versions of the same image exist (e.g., slightly different cropping or brightness), choose the highest quality and most complete version.

Relationship Charts:
- Officially released character or relationship charts.
Stills & Covers:

Note: Some had to stay, as posters with the title in a different language can stay in the Photos section. Additionally, certain promo material from the official Weibo accounts can also stay.

Oh, and whoever actually deleted the pics and let us know by striking them out and marking the post REMOVED, thank you! I've been checking back for months, clicking on links and waiting, so it is nice to know at a glance that things are being removed.

REMOVED
Note: The first two can stay as those are official promo visuals released by different production teams at different marketing lifecycles, which reflect their branding and title name at the time.
