Most screenshots on that list page are visibly low in quality, with a lot of JPG compression artefacts. Compare the same {{Plainlink|1=[http://www.mariowiki.com/images/archive/5/5b/20160417061741%21PM_Star_Piece_KoopaVillageBrick.png JPG]}} and {{Plainlink|1=[http://www.mariowiki.com/images/5/5b/PM_Star_Piece_KoopaVillageBrick.png PNG]}} screenshot. The latter is definitely sharper, clearer and more ideal. And don't worry about bloating up the file histories: the properly captured PNG version appear to have a [[:File:PM Star Piece KoopaVillageBrick.png|much lower file size]] compared to the JPG. So recapturing the images would also be good for the page's loading time. | ||
Additionally a captured PNG is definitely preferred over a GIF, due to the limited color palette as Wildgoosespeeder said in the section above. The colors of a GIF Nintendo 64 screenshot wouldn't be accurate to the actual game. | Additionally a captured PNG is definitely preferred over a GIF, due to the limited color palette as Wildgoosespeeder said in the section above.

I'm going to say yes, but there isn't a category for it yet. Many pictures like that one need a category. [[:Category: | I'm going to say yes, but there isn't a category for it yet. Many pictures like that one need a category. [[:Category:Promotional photos]] ({{tem|promophoto}}) needs to be gone through amongst other [[Help:License|copyright tags]]. Question is, what category should be created for pictures of people? I would ask {{user|Porplemontage}} for advice (or even ask him to remove the <code><nowiki>[[Category:Promotional photos]]</nowiki></code> code temporarily to force affected images into [[Special:UncategorizedFiles]], like it was done several months ago with sprites and screenshots). --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 16:56, 15 December 2016 (EST) | ||
