user1530: Our current prompt for when you ask a question with the tag identification-request is this:

Seeing as we don't allow image-only id-requests (see here), maybe we should make it more clear that they need additional details.
If I was a new user and saw this - it doesn't seem to indicate that asking an image-only question is inappropriate, just that it should be reverse-searched beforehand.
I want to open the floor to the possibility of change to this feature.
Would it be good to change to something like:

Are you trying to identify a series?
Try and post as much information as possible - See here for question requirements

Although this removes the reverse search part of the prompt which isn't great either.
Opinions? Should we change it/leave it? Do you have your own better wording?

user1458: I vote in favor of changing the current message.
As We need to do something about the new users behind identification-request questions Also covers the image part in it self.

If the question have less than three (two for questions that include image(s), audio, and/or video(s)) of the the above mentioned criteria, or if the description provided is deemed to be too ambiguous, it will be put on hold as "Off-Topic: This identification request contains too little detail to be answered." You should edit your question to add more details, before it can be reopened. 

I also think that link to What criteria should we use for QCing for ALL "identification-request" questions? instead of the current one, as this is allot shorter. And I am pretty sure that most people are not waiting to read a huge wall of text, especially if they are not even taking the time to provide allot of details in their original question. 

user49: What about something like this?

This points to the genral guidelines, but also suggests using reverse image search before posting image-only id-reqs. 

user49: This was implemented, with just a slight change in the first paragraph of ʞɹɐzǝɹ's suggestion, to reduce the amount of text in that little box:

The colour suggestions in ʞɹɐzǝɹ's answer have also been implemented, as can be seen above. Here's what the HTML looks like:
