Hello everybody!

For the last number of years, SMG4 Wiki has opted to use renders as profile images for character infoboxes. Because of this, i decided to inspire Disney Wiki by moving away from renders in order to using cropped screencaps in our infoboxes. Here is the example what the change look like:

Why the change?
Here are some reasons why it has changed:
 * 1) Accuracy: How character images made in render vs. how they appeared in respective bloopers or videos in common point of contention as renders tends to deviate from the source material in some ways.
 * 2) Image source: The origin of a rendered image is a common cause of concern, as some users have the tendency to mistake fan art for official art. This leads to users instilling fan art into infoboxes, which is strictly against the wiki's policies.
 * 3) Quality and Elusiveness: Renders can be hard to obtain. This is a strain for users, as it can take excessive amounts of searching and editing to find decent standalone render for a character. As a consequence, the quality of these non-officially released renders are not always the best.

Things to know
With this new implementation, there are some new rules that must be adhered to.
 * Non-administrative users are not allowed to change profile images. Doing so will result in an immediate revert. If you have a suggestion for a new profile image for a particular character, read the rule listed here to learn how your image can be selected. Note: Only admins can change the profile images. After the current year is over, the profile image will be changed next year.
 * If you had a problem with the cropped profile image or seeing a character image that has a render on it. You can contact the admins if you wanted to.
