Reason for Tag

This talk page or section has a conflict or question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

If you compare File:MKSCCongratsScreen.PNG with File:Mario Kart Super Circuit 5th Place.png, you will notice a slight blur with the originally tagged image. Also the file size shouldn't be that big for an image of 240x160 PNG. PNG's compression works best with solid colors. The blur means no solid colors. The image could be sharper. Unfortunately, I am not skilled enough to triple star. That's why it was tagged. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 20:48, 7 January 2016 (EST)

Yeah but I don't think it's bad enough for the tag. The quality difference is barely noticeable unless you know where to look for it or you know about it; bigger file-size also shouldn't mean that there's an image quality tag. Sure you can tag this image, that's where I'll agree that we do need a better quality image (even if multiplayer play via emulation is probably not possible, I could be wrong), but I do take issue with being nitpicky and tagging acceptable images like this.

File size was being used as an example of my knowledge how to get the best screenshots possible. It's just a pattern I have noticed with screenshots pertaining to NES, SNES, Game Boy, and Game Boy Advance. Images generated from emulators of those systems have very high compression for its pixel density compared to other sources. That's a red flag moment if the file size is higher that usual. Also it seems you and Bazooka_Mario (talk) take issue with my tagging. I would like a moderator's opinion if I am using the tag right. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 21:30, 7 January 2016 (EST)

I can see what Wildgoosespeeder points out about the image, but I am afraid I don't believe this warrants a quality template. The image achieves its purpose and the difference is not easily noticeable, the template should be reserved for images which any or most users would find fault with. If you do wish to re-upload the file, I don't think the triple star is necessary, as long as it's a first place it should be good. It should also be noted there's an ongoing discussion here, which you might want to join. --™ The 'Shroom 23:09, 7 January 2016 (EST)

My sort of tagging is a behavior I have adopted from Bulbapedia, which I like how they handle images. I have been thinking about this because this sort of situation has been brought to my attention several times in the past by Baby Luigi (talk) and Bazooka_Mario (talk); should another template exist? It seems like users want to use {{image-quality}} for really big offenders of image quality. Maybe a tag should be created for images that could be a tad better?

Also I have been thinking about registering on the forum for quite some time now. You guys seem to be a pretty cool community. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 23:44, 7 January 2016 (EST)

I can totally get behind that point; if images can be improved, then they should. I think another template would work, but to do that you'd have to go through a Proposal. And you definitely should, apart from being a cool community there's a good amount of wiki collaborations discussed since it's easier to do so on a forum. --™ The 'Shroom 23:49, 7 January 2016 (EST)
