| Forum: Proposals > Image Categories |
|---|
I've recently been editing on a different site and I really like the current format they've been having. They don't have galleries on their Wiki. They categorize images instead, so they have categories for characters, items and episodes. Anyways, I think we should adapt that format too and it'll look like this:
[[Category:Images - Beth]] OR [[Category:Images - Beth and Lindsay]] OR [[Category:Not Quite Famous]] etc.
We would link all the CANON Beth images and not fanon ones to that category. Also, if you think this is complicated and will take forever, we will delete all the unused files (an admin has to contact a bot still) and we have the uncategorized images category too.
Now, here's why we should have it. 1) We have a lot of images on the Wiki and a number of the images cannot be put into galleries sadly, since there are just so many. Sketches, high quality shots, quality shots... so many images. Some episodes maxed out on how many images we can put. It's also pretty organized too. Just go search "Beth images" and the category will show up with images of Beth. Very sleek, simple and neat.

- Yeah. ~"Is it sad that I hate life?" Yes. Just enjoy it. "STFU. You're not my mom." 00:54, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
- We 'NEED' these. Who am I? What is this? Wait, forget that crap, I just found out who I am 01:00, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
- If will help organize pictures, both official and fan made, go for it. --Gsu eagle 31049 03:20, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
- After doing some thinking about it. I honestly think that it would make the images look neater and more organized. And great way to keep fan-made and official separate. Plus, it would prevent lag and what not. But just as long as the categories are posted somewhere so people can easily find them. This could be useful! ;) ♥ NThree Talk to me! :3| ♥ 02:13, May 27, 2012 (UTC)
- How about yes! Jackninja5 06:17, June 2, 2012 (UTC)
- Im not an admin, so i have no idea how tough it is to implement this feature, but, still sounds like a great change ♠SirMe♠My awesome profile 11:29, June 30, 2012 (UTC)
Oppose
- No. Seems totally unneeded and I don't get why everyone feels the need to change the system on here. Honestly, it's come to a point where I feel the need to make a blog asking why people have this morbid fascination with change. The recent proposals nowadays seem pointless; why is this going to help our wiki? How is this going to benefit us? What are the pros and cons here? That's what we need to know, not just "it looks cool." Strong oppose. --TDIFan13 (My Talk and My Contributions) 01:06, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
- Per above.--Bigez620 - Peace, Love, Laser Squirrel 01:09, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
- This is just WAY too much work for the admins. May the odds be in your favor. 05:13, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
- Ditto above. Sorry :( TJ is awesome and that‘s the truth! 05:21, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
- I don't get the point of it, and why do we have to do the same things as other wikis? --Stephanie is my queen and wife! And I is feeling like a sir. 10:30, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
- See Ryan's explanation^ ~ Lizcat68 My Talk My Activity 23:54, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
- Ryan said it perfectly. Not only is this cluttered and more complicated/confusing, but this is our style. We don't need to change to be like other wikis such as the Call of Duty Wiki or the Simpsons Wiki, because we're not the Call of Duty Wiki or the Simpsons Wiki; we are the Total Drama Wiki. Let's just stay the way we are, because that's what makes us who we are. --"Fresh air! A real lake! Birds!"

Ann, few notes: 1) we can get a bot to do the unused files. 2) I'm sure people other than admins would do this. I know I would. -- Webkinz ManiaTalkBlogsContributionsEditcount 10:52, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
Can someone make a sandbox of this? Before I vote, I need to see how it looks like. Thanks. ~User:Mocky74User:Mocky74User:Mocky74 Mike :3 14:02, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
Sadly, I cannot, as the site is on the spam filter. Go search Wikisimpsons for the category. -- Webkinz ManiaTalkBlogsContributionsEditcount 18:56, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
Okay, thanks anyway. I'll take a look and I will choose if I support or oppose. ~User:Mocky74User:Mocky74User:Mocky74 Mike :3 12:41, May 10, 2012 (UTC)
NTF, the images cause lag. Did you ever notice that? Ever? -- Webkinz ManiaTalkBlogsContributionsEditcount 19:42, May 20, 2012 (UTC)
I don't support or oppose this, but for N3's vote, what do we have to do that is "more important than this"? ~ CD-TDATalk Contributions[[Special:Editcount/CD-TDA|Special:Editcount/CD-TDA Edits]] 20:22, May 20, 2012 (UTC)
@WM: I think I did notice that before, but I don't really remember. ♥ NThree Talk to me! :3| ♥ 21:07, May 20, 2012 (UTC)
K, then... that's not a valid oppose reason. It will prevent most lagging and put more images into spotlight. -- Webkinz ManiaTalkBlogsContributionsEditcount 01:22, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
Okay, however, my vote can change as well. I just need to actually see it. :P ♥ NThree Talk to me! :3| ♥ 00:51, May 22, 2012 (UTC)
