| == Mario Party talk icons ==
| |
|
| |
| Every MP game has square talk icons (which are reflected in their respective galleries, many of which the square is part of the same graphic), and in general talk icon galleries work the best when they are consistently sized to their native proportions, not just for sizing, but for their positioning relative to the square area (ie, some are intended to appear along the bottom, some along the middle, etc). Size-wise, it looks awful when the pixels are not sized consistently with the others on the same sprite or other sprites, and either way, MP8 has no reason to be the odd one out in that regard. Generally speaking, native-size is preferable for that type of image than tampering with them by cutting out negative space that is intentionally there, and it looks better for our purposes anyway if the negative space isn't overwhelming.

| :Hmmm... right now I'm wondering if there's a way to resize the image previews in galleries without the need to undo the cropping. That's a talking point I'd wanna check in right now, actually. --{{User:CyonOfGaia/sig}} 23:05, February 8, 2025 (EST)

| ::There ''is'' (the "rawsize" class, which is generally preferable for more "pixely" sprites), but it doesn't change their placement relative to the frame (which as previously mentioned, is also important), and they shouldn't be cropped in the first place. Ideally, we'd be able to set up a table for NPCs on the main page using them, and that too is easier when they're all the same size - the only way to get around that is with a lot of extra HTML and CSS, which takes up far more data than just having them at their native file parameters does. Ultimately, they're ''supposed'' to be the same size by design, and it doesn't really make any sense to subvert that. Doing that bad-c-portmanteau thing is nothing but a waste of time, and generally images store better anyway when their dimensions are a multiple of 8 (hence why they are in the first place).

| :::No, those pictures should be cropped to content, there's little to no benefit to adhering to original technical limitations in this wiki, and the "it looks bad on galleries" isn't a strong position that was rebuked in that failed proposal. By the way, we are ''not'' going to have constant arguments over this, that proposal about image dimensions you made has long been failed so if someone, ''especially staff'', reverts your edits, then you should knock it off. {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 13:03, February 9, 2025 (EST)

| ::::I am allowed to say my piece, especially when there is ''no'' benefit gained by cropping these. The position that was reached by the proposal was "determine on case-by-case basis," and I think in ''this'' case, they should remain untampered with - especially since ''another'' consensus that was reached was "don't mess with other users' uploading projects," which the initial crop (I'm ''not'' using that vulgar longer word) was absolutely an example of doing. I am not doing anything like edit warring, I am merely explaining on the user's talk page why I think that cropping in this case is an inherent negative to the wiki's quality. (Also... aren't you like, ''supposed'' to protest when you see someone with authority doing something you think they shouldn't lol? From my personal perspective, chopping off the negative space on these poor sprites would be like chopping out the background of the Mona Lisa because "the face is the only part that matters." And most people would agree that that would certainly be bad.) [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 17:51, February 9, 2025 (EST)

| :::::This isn't whether you're allowed to say your piece or not. This is a request to stop hounding editors over their edits like these (your opinions of cropped borders have seen heavy disagreement especially in the comments of your failed proposal, CyonofGaia's edits have been staff approved by the way) breaking [[MarioWiki:Courtesy|rule 2 of the courtesy policy regarding giving other editors a hard time over edits (including reverts)]]. Consider this an informal warning to your behavior; the staff has noticed and has been very lenient on your discipline lately but the kid gloves have been taken off. Please do not further argue this matter further with me. {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 01:54, February 10, 2025 (EST)
