MarioWiki talk:Image use policy


 * Images should be optimized and not exceed 5 megabytes in file size.
 * Images' dimensions should be in the original size and never exceed 5000 pixels in width or height.
 * Images cannot exceed an area of 12.5 million pixels or about 3500x3500 for a square image.

This rule should be changed because original, official artwork, namely, scenic artwork from recent games, such as this, this, this, this, this, this, this, and this must be resized according to that policy.

But I'm not sure why this rule is here. Is it for fair use or is it to prevent the wiki from carrying the burden of a large image? 14:23, 23 February 2014 (EST)
 * Maybe you can take this to the forums in the General Discussion topic? 16:06, 23 February 2014 (EST)
 * I think it would be very large. This wiki should only summarize the games, artworks are just an addition. PidgiWiki is an example of wikis that can contain any size of artworks.-- 15:43, 24 February 2014 (EST)


 * The rule is suspended until further notice. We might get serious on restrictions, but not necessarily those restrictions, and we don't want to have to resize everything twice. -- 16:21, 24 February 2014 (EST)
 * Ok, thanks, Steve! 19:28, 24 February 2014 (EST)

MediaWiki Headers
I think this project page can be better organized with the use of MediaWiki headers instead of four bullet points with sub-bulletpoints. Something to the effect below. -- 05:02, 8 February 2016 (EST)
 * This would make the page neater, it's fine by me. -- 22:08, 8 February 2016 (EST)
 * I think it's unnecessary. There's only four points, so it's pretty straightforward to find what you're looking for, and the screenshots and aboutfile points really don't seem substantial enough for full sections. The fact that the whole page is currently a (relatively) compact list is also a good thing, since people tend to not want to read long, multi-faceted policy pages. - 23:42, 8 February 2016 (EST)
 * The headers would make the rules more clear and faster to identify. Nobody likes walls of text. My suggestion was to make it more visually appealing or at least a less daunting read. The other MarioWiki pages use headers. -- 01:32, 9 February 2016 (EST)

Cropping Letterboxing Mandated
and I have been talking about the quality of our image uploads and we are quite split if mandating cropping is a good idea. I suggest reading the talk page section (User talk:Porplemontage) to get an idea where our stances are with it. Thoughts? -- 03:30, 3 May 2016 (EDT)
