Faults: watermark (Version 13)
"Watermark" usually refers to a symbol placed on the image, or text that is partially transparent.
This tag is mainly for watermarks added by third parties. Examples:
Watermarks added by the author / copyright holder to show copyright should be tagged with official_watermark instead, and should only be tagged so when the watermark is intrusive and does not present any aesthetic value. Artistic autograph on commercial artwork should be tagged as autographed instead.
(3rd party) watermarked images should generally be avoided. It is only acceptable when the watermarks are relatively small and no alternative versions exist.
Images with watermark that covers a prominent portion of content (such as sample images for merchandise), regardless it's by 3rd party or by the authors, should not be uploaded.
