 +Overall, even if many custom art for Explorers could be reused in Rescue Team, you should include it in the Explorers category, except if it was specifically made for Rescue Team. This may change if the Rescue Team rom-hacking became easier to use.

 +Specific for custom portraits/sprites not in SpriteCollab, and not planning to be submitted there : If it is avalaible in a SpriteCollab-compatible format (as in, it can be imported in SkyTemple), leave a note. marius851000 will also run it's program for it, generating a nice preview of sprites and portraits. If you have many sprites/portraits not eligible for SpriteCollab, I can invite you to a private server, on which I have my own copy of SpriteCollab running, called [[https://github.com/marius851000/NotSpriteCollab|NotSpriteCollab]] (note: it's only online when I manually run it).
 +
 +Other art content should be formatted like other general news, but in this category.
 +
 +You should ensure to include the term of use stated by the author, and say who is the author. If no term of use is stated, indicate that permission should be asked to the author before use. If the author is unknown, and no term of use from the original author is avalaible, you should write that you do not know the original author, but state from who you got it.
