"Watermark" usually refers to a symbol placed on the image, or text that is partially transparent.

This tag is for watermarks added by third party only. Examples:

• Added by scanners, uploaders, translators (for scanlations), or other websites;
• Added by hosting websites (like Chinese microblogging service, Weibo: post #413142).

Watermarks added by the author / copyright holder should NOT be tagged so.

Watermarked images should only be uploaded when the watermarks are relatively small and when 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 the author, should not be uploaded.
