Image optimization

Just as a heads up, the image use policy discourages reuploading images just to optimize them because it takes up additional space on the server. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 19:23, April 6, 2024 (EDT)

Huh. Good to know. On other wikis, I had followed the logic of "The smaller the filesize is, the faster a wiki page would load", and I had utilised it with partial success on The Sims Wikia. But I do acknowledge that it'd be a problem on self-hosted wikis indeed, so I appreciate the tip. DandelionSprout (talk) 02:43, April 7, 2024 (EDT)

In the future, if possible, could you save your images (whether it's game capture screenshots and self-made infographics) as png or jpg rather than webp? They're much more preferable since they're more commonly used and universally supported. Mario JC 10:11, April 9, 2024 (EDT)

I took a liking to WebP a year or two ago, after I noticed that lossless WebP exported by PaintNET, were still 15~20% smaller filesizes than OptiPNG; and I've also been in beefs with a fair few people on social media who strongly hated WebP for made-up reasons. So I had presumed "Okay, surely crops of screenshots can be in WebP?", but I give you technically right for using PNG for crops, since Elgato saves the whole-frame screenshots as PNG in the first place, so for those cases I agree to using PNG from now on.

RE:The wiki's Ruby template makes the rubies unreadable on Chrome

The page is fully protected, so I can't edit it on my own. I'll bring up the issue with an admin instead. ^(T|C) 19:58, April 16, 2024 (EDT)
