From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ℹ – informational message only This image is unnecessary because it could easily be reproduced with plain text. Plain text has several advantages over images, including:
  • It can be scaled and printed at any resolution without loss of quality
  • It can be stored far more efficiently (just one byte per character)
  • It is compatible with screen reader software used by sight-impaired visitors
  • It can be edited and translated more easily
  • It can be used by search engines to help people access Wikipedia content

If possible, please replace all instances of this image throughout Wikipedia (noted under the "File links" header), with appropriately formatted plain text. If there are no pages that link to this image, then it may be safely deleted.

Note: In some cases it may be neccesary to create images of text characters, such as when illustrating the appearance of a typeface. In such cases, the text should preferably be rendered in the SVG format.

This template automatically adds images to Category:Images that should be replaced with plain text.
