Faults: watermark (Version 8)
"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:
Watermarks added by the author / copyright holder should be tagged with official_watermark instead, and should only be tagged when the watermark is intrusive and does not present aesthetic value. Artistic autograph 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.
