There is an update to the Image Policy, likely a more welcome one largely regarding naming images, simply name the image where they are from!

For example:


 * Episode 1 – Screenshot 1 for images from the anime, then Episode 1 – Screenshot 2 and so on for further screenshots from the same episode.

Then for manga chapters:

Complete pages are okay, particularly if they are illustrating a key scene or a whole page with just one character in it or scenario occurring. Complete pages of double pages are great since they are few and far between. Yet for the most part (kind of redundant to say since excellently people have been doing it anyway) is breaking up the panel into parts is best. Yes it is an encyclopedia and should document everything, but might be a bit of a stretch to say we've hoisted the entire manga where everyone can read it without buying it under another pretext. Breaking up the panels easily falls under fair use, and is all the more perfect for fitting out descriptions under. "Yu's debut in the manga" is much more personal and fits in the available space than "Yu and Mika's debut in the manga/this character speaks, then this incident occurs, all this happens on this one page/check out the entire manga pages we've stolen it all".
 * Chapter 1 – Page 1 if there is a single panel used from a page, if more than one is used then Chapter 1 – Page 1 – Panel then Chapter 1 – Page 1 – Panel 2 is useful.

That way people know where to find the image in the source material from the title, and another excellent expansion is to add descriptions to what is occurring in the image underneath such as with Yu in this brilliant example.

The fun explosion also expands to adding descriptions to all the anime images, well actually all of them! The Seraph of the End Wiki has some amazing images and a lot of them. Having a visual overview with descriptions is double perfect for a gallery synopsis of events. Readers may also take time to appreciate the art and details in question if there are details on what is going on in a scene.
