While personal images are allowed to be uploaded for use in one's user space, do not upload an excessive amount, and instead take such business to a dedicated image hosting site. You should typically only upload images that are relevant to the encyclopedic content of the wiki. If you have an idea for a user page that requires an extreme amount of images or just otherwise really want that many images in your user space, use external images via the [[Template:External image|external image template]] instead of uploading them to the wiki. | ||
