===DS icons=== | |||

As you can see when starting a [[Nintendo DS]] game, every game has an 32×32px icon. I think we should add these to the DS game articles like this: | |||
[[File:Mario Map Icon.png|left|Icon of "Super Mario Wiki"]] <font color=gray>The '''Super Mario Wiki''' is a wiki about the ''Mario'' series and its related series, ''Wario'', ''Yoshi'', ''Donkey Kong'', and ''Super Smash Bros.'' It has many articles, such as ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Super Mario World'', ''New Super Mario Bros.'', Bowser, Extra Life, Goomba and much more. In most of these games, such as ''New Super Mario Bros.'', the plumber Mario saves Princess Peach from Bowser, who is the main antagonist. ...</font> | |||
'''Edit:''' As most icons are transparant and jpg is low quality, images should be png or gif. | |||

====Support==== | |||
#{{User|Lakituthequick}} My proposal | |||
#{{User|Conanshinichi}} Per Lakituthequick. | |||
#{{User|Reddragon19k}} Per both! I think this is a great idea! | |||
#{{User|Zero777}} This sounds like a good idea; it's a little, but I think this will differentiate us from other wikis [a lot]. | |||
#{{user|SWFlash}} Per proposal, also, see my comment. | |||
====Oppose==== | |||
#{{User|MrConcreteDonkey}} - I'm sorry, but you've lost me. To me it seems you've bundled quite a few unrelated topics together. Also per Walkazo below. | |||
#{{User|Goomba's Shoe15}} Per above | |||
#{{User|Supremo78}} Per MCD. | |||
#{{User|TurniPowerup}} Per MrConcreteDonkey! | |||
#{{User|Walkazo}} - It would be inconsistent with the games from every other console (which don't have icons). Also, having images in the top left corner as well as the one in the infobox to the right looks sloppy, imho (it's not so bad if there's a quote above the paragraph, but while this is common with the consoles and their slogans, it's not really a solution for game pages). It'd be good to have the icons on the pages - just not in the introduction. | |||
#{{User|YoshiGo99}} Per MCD and Walkazo. | |||
#{{User|Tails777}} Per all. | |||
#{{User|Lindsay151}} Per Walkazo. | |||
#{{User|Mario4Ever}} Per Walkazo. | |||
#{{User|Jazama}} Per all. | |||
#{{User|Bowser's luma}} I understand the concept I think, but it should be a little clearer - I'm not going to support something where the general concept is all that is graspable. | |||
#{{User|MeritC}} Per all; plus I fail to see how this would be VERY necessary around these parts. | |||
#{{User|Toad85}} I would, honestly, like to include the icons, but not in the way you are describing. | |||
#{{User|Superfiremario}} Per Toad85. | |||
====Comments==== | |||
I don't understand exactly what you want to do. Could you explain a bit more? {{User|Yoshiwaker}} | |||
:As you see when you startup a DS game, it has an icon. My plan is to add those icons to the topleft corner of the pages the icon belongs to: ''New Super Mario Bros.'' gets the yellow square with Mario's face on it. {{User|Lakituthequick}} | |||
I like the idea, but we already have the box cover art, and most articles already have a bunch of pictures. Would these additional images add any value to the pages? {{User|Brock1221}} | |||
:We want to cover everything about Mario (licenced), that icon is part of the game it belongs to. I never saw one on any page on this wiki. {{User|Lakituthequick}} | |||
Maybe to a gallery or something. {{User|Baconator}} | |||
:When this proposal loses I do this, but if it passes, we do both. {{User|Lakituthequick}} | |||
@{{User|Walkazo}} If images in topleft corner look sloppy, what about the [[Wii|Wii logo on its page]]? {{User|Lakituthequick}} | |||
I think they should be uploaded, sure, but I think they should just go in the gallery or something, not have a really prominent place on the page. {{User|Yoshiwaker}} | |||
:@Lakituthequick: like I said in my vote, having a quotation above the paragraph (as with most, if not all the consoles) negates the sloppy appearance, seeing as the image isn't actually in the corner anymore, it's buffered by text. Also, the logo's a lot more self-explanatory than a DS icon, and not all icon designs loan themselves to simply floating frameless on the page, unlike the backgroundless logos; trying to ameliorate that with thumbnails and explanations would clutter the introductions up way too much. Furthermore, having the logo and the slogan up at the top across from a picture of the console and the infobox filled with the basic information is an efficient way to get the fundamental info to the readers; by contrast, the icon is neither fundamental nor essential to comprehending the article's subject matter at a glance, which is the point of introductions. - {{User|Walkazo}} | |||
::Per Yoshiwalker and Walkazo. {{User|Toad85}} | |||
