why were the images for certain characters (like spongebob himself) changed? i know thats the current style used in merch but the old images represent the actual style of the show, and the quality of these images on here aren't very good, sandy doesn't even a background.

The reason the images were changed was due to Nickelodeon being discovered to have licensed some SpongeBob-related material under a Creative Commons license, making them free for use, which is generally prefered on Wikipedia.

I think the previous SVG was better representative of his character. The painted image is a "modern" style render of him making a weirdly off-model face, and it's in a low quality, while the old image is much more recognizable. Not to mention, the images were likely not meant to be licensed that way. To quote the response from WMF Legal, "We reached out to Nickelodeon to give them a head-up about the CC license in their NickRewind videos and specifically asked them if Spongebob content is in fact CC-licensed… a day after I sent it all CC licenses had been removed from their Youtube videos." Even though Wikipedia generally prefers free images, this case is obviously different and I think an example where using the classic SVG image would be better.

In episode number 322a in the recent season 16, Spongebob was sent to a neighboring town and did receive his drivers license there, just not from Mrs. Puffs boating school. In the article it states he still hasn't received it yet, so a mention to this episode could give clarity on this situation. 2600:1012:A125:F971:4564:B53D:6C11:7B33 (talk) 05:06, 10 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
It was another temporary/fake-out license. As usual, the license was revoked (eaten in this case) by the end of the episode, after SpongeBob almost sent himself and Mrs. Puff into a volcano. The status quo is that SpongeBob will never actually receive his license, which is why Nickelodeon calls it his “never-ending quest” and things like that.

In episode number 15a, it is shown on his driver's license that he was born on July 14, 1986. This was a dream sequence, but his driver's license is also shown in 30a, where he is not dreaming, and he still has the same birthdate of "July 14, 1986". Should this be added?
