Hello,

I have a question about background images. Are there any certain types of images (that can be put on a wiki), that are not allowed to be the background image of a wiki (for example, fairuse images such as screenshots).

The reason I am asking is because I have been thinking about changing the background for a wiki I administrate. At the moment, the Mouretsu Pirates Wiki has one of the default backgrounds (the purple stripes). I was thinking about changing it to an image of outer space (preferably with plenty of stars), similar (though of course not exactly the same) as the ones on the official site, Starchild and the German Mouretsu wiki.

However I've not been certain how I should proceed with this and what images of space I would be allowed to use. There are a few screenshots from the series on the web that could be altered to make such a background, however I wasn't sure if this would be allowed and I didn't feel like I should proceed if I didn't know if it was right or not (I haven't been adding any other images to the wiki for similar reasons).

What do you think is allowed for the background and what should be done?

Thanks
