Guidelines:Files

edit notes:

the whole 'screenshot retrieval' section should be moved to its own page and expanded upon, with general screenshot standards and methods (not only for recent (ish) consoles as well)

possibly establish color text to help explain file names? like establish type as being idk purple, and then subject as being like green, so when it gets to file type its broken down much more neatly into each modular piece.

logos is listed first and has a very large section despite being a miniscule part of the wiki, and unlikely to be what some random wiki-goer will be uploading. it also has a whole table when non of the other file types (which also do not go into detail) do. so first things first, list out all the *relavent* file types and make a nice table for it. less relavent ones can get footnotes at the bottom, or even a 'youre unlikely to deal with this so deatils are unnessicary'.

special characters should go *after* titles, not before. and like. titles just need to be explained better. the explaination present convfused me SO MUCH when starting out.

source should prolly be a first thing, before even file name, since its so often missed and its technically the first thing people will be dealing with since its literally *where* the image came from. also it words the vague source thing in a matinency way, not in a 'uploading a new file'y way. so reword that.

why is the images sub section over there what is it doing at the bottom what. all the different aspects should prolly be sub sections, not secondary headers. its hard to read when theres no 'hey this is important!'
