Image-based problems: Images involving minors

Where there is a suspicion that an image might contain child abuse or child pornography, please immediately report it to the Wikimedia Foundation through legal-reports@wikimedia.org to alert the Trust and Safety team. Include a URL link to it so that it can be reviewed quickly. Even though situations like this are rare, the material must be reviewed promptly – having all relevant information available at first contact helps speed things up substantially. The Trust and Safety team at the Wikimedia Foundation is tasked with reporting and otherwise handling such images.

Even if there's no obvious abuse or suggestion of pornography involved with an image of a minor, it can still be upsetting. There currently is no hard rule regarding the treatment of images of younger editors, uploaded by themselves or by others. Generally, it is best to use your common sense – would this image be harmful if it remained? Is this image within the scope of Wikimedia Commons?
