# {{/span|8}}'''Contextual significance.''' Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the article topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding.
# {{/span|9}}'''Restrictions on location.''' Non-free content is allowed only in articles (not [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation|disambiguation pages]]), and only in [[Wikipedia:Main namespace|article namespace]], subject to [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria exemptions|exemptions]]. (To prevent an image category from displaying thumbnails, add <code><nowiki>__NOGALLERY__</nowiki></code> to it; images are [[WP:COLON|linked]], not inlined, from talk pages when they are a topic of discussion.)
