We don't discourage people who want to put THEIR gifs on the wiki. We want to discourage people who take other people's art and post it on here without permission. The best way to do that is to not allow gifs, and make the exception for the people who made them themselves.

If we reverse it (allow gif and delete them for those who did not make them) you're asking even more supervision by the admins. And the current policy has already shown that the admins can't monitor every single gif uploaded.

Right now the consensus appears to be;

- Fanmade images and gifs need to be made by the uploader, or the uploader must have permission from the creator to upload.

- Fanmade images should not be used unless they are specifically marked as such. + They can't be primary image, such as in infoboxes.

- Fanart should only be allowed on user pages and blog comments (the community aspect of the wiki) but not on articles (the content aspect).

- Gifs should be used in relationship infoboxes only (status quo)
