Template talk:Minigame infobox

Image size

Could someone edit this template so that it allows the user to use an individual image size rather than a fixed one? I ask because the fixed size is higher than the resolution of the Game Boy Advance, causing that articles like Super Wario Bros. use an overstretched image. --Grandy02 09:38, 3 January 2009 (EST)

Done. --RAP 17:13, 3 July 2009 (EDT)

Looks like it was just missing some close brackets. 17:04, 31 May 2018 (EDT)

Image in the infobox

In response to Mario Party Superstars giving certain mini-games as many as four iterations, it was decided to show only an image of the original iteration in the infobox. Despite little discussion and not being a formal proposal, this ended up being implemented. However, I disagree with this, partially because it's the exact opposite of MarioWiki:Naming#Name changes, and partially because a suggestion I had in that discussion went unnoticed - namely, having each iteration in a separate tab, as is done with stages on SmashWiki. Additionally, in the case of mini-games that appear in both Mario Party 1 and 2, whose differences are often more significant than those of Top 100 and Superstars iterations (and can sometimes be considered separate mini-games due to having different Japanese names), only the 1 iteration is acknowledged, and in the case of mini-games in 6 that have day and night variations, only the day variation is acknowledged.

As a result, I think we should have a formal proposal deciding how to handle this.

Use only the newest iteration in the infobox

1. Pseudo (talk) Failing the tab option, this is my second choice since it follows the wiki’s usual conventions of prioritizing revised content.
2. Camwoodstock (talk) This'd be the simpler choice, but honestly, it might be better.
3. [[User:Biggestman]|Biggestman]]] ([[User talk:Biggestman]|talk]]) I feel the most current and best-looking version should be the image presented, and for basically every minigame the most recent iteration is the best one visually

Use both the 1 and 2 iterations where applicable and both the day/night variations from 6, but otherwise use only the original

1. RickTommy (talk) First preferred option.

Decide on a case-by-case basis which mini-games should have multiple images and which ones should have only the original

1. RickTommy (talk) Second preferred option.

Have each iteration is a separate tab

1. RickTommy (talk) Third (and most) preferred option. However, we'll need to install the functionality for it.
2. Pseudo (talk) This seems like the most ideal option to me, and would be well-worth the extension. There might end up being other places on the wiki where it’s applicable.
3. Camwoodstock (talk) Much more ambitious would probably be this option--we feel like doing this might raise a few conundrums, however, especially when you consider stuff like returning Mario Kart stages.
