Profile Pics
With season ten more than halfway done, some new profile pics are in order for 2016. Starting January 1st there will be a site wide vote to choose profile pics for the various character pages.(More...)

These votes will be done in groups and there must be a minimum of ten votes before the results will be tabulated. If there are more than ten votes before February 1st, the vote will be ended and the results calculated. If there is not, the vote will continue for another month and be reassessed on March 1st. A winning image must have a minimum of two votes more than the second places image. If it only has one vote more than the second place image or there is a tie, then a second vote will take place between the image with the most votes and all images within one vote of it.

In order for an image to qualify for the vote it must follow certain rules:
 * 1) It must be uploaded to the site prior to the beginning of the vote. This allows all images involved an equal chance to get people's votes.
 * 2) It must be from within the pages of the comic stories. This means it cannot be from The Sourcebook and it cannot be from the cover of an issue. It also cannot be a photograph.
 * 3) The image must contain only one character unless the other character is clearly in the background.
 * 4) The image must be unaltered other than cutting it down. This means it cannot have a speech bubble with the words cut out. It cannot have the colors darkened, lightened, or added.
 * 5) It must be in .png format.
 * 6) It cannot be a duplicate of an image already on the site, unless it is a higher quality image than the one already on the site. Any duplicates for any other reason will be deleted.
 * 7) It must be a minimum of 300px wide.
 * 8) The image must follow the rules of images that say no more than four images of any character, locations, object, or power per issue. If there is already four images of the character in question from the issue the image you want to add is in, contact the admin with a description of where the images is from including issue number/name, page number, and panel number if relevant. If the image in this situation is uploaded without an okay from the admin, it will be deleted.

In order to vote, you must sign your username and put a "#" before it. This is to keep one person from trying to vote multiple times. Unfortunately this means that anonymous editors cannot vote. You are not required to actually be an editor to vote, only a registered member of the wikia.

The winning image will be duplicated with a name reflecting its status as the a profile pic winner including the year. This will help protect the winner chosen by the people from being altered by one person who didn't like the results.

The first round of profiles to vote on will be Prue, Piper, Phoebe, Paige, Leo, Coop, Cole, Henry, Ben, and Kyra. Voting will be set up on the characters talk pages.
