User talk:Wildgoosespeeder/QualityRequestTypes/sandbox

This page is for addressing specific concerns with proposing new tags and modifying existing tags. These are current concerns that have yet to see a resolution be reached. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 03:25, 12 April 2016 (EDT)

Categories

• Category:Quality requested
• Category:Images that need improvement
• Category:PNG requested

Comments

There have been concerns that these two additional categories may not be enough and current crowding will just be shifted over to the new categories. The categories should be split even further into one for screenshots, sprites, etc..

Implementation

Someone suggested that if the proposal passes, ~70,000 files need to be examined. This is false. Only images with {{image-quality}}, which is around ~1,000 images at this current time, will be examined and have their tags changed. The only thing the proposal adds/removes/changes is giving more tag options and reducing debates surrounding the {{image-quality}} tag. The way we go about finding images to tag will remain the same (casual regular everyday browsing of MarioWiki).

Definitions/Restrictions

{{image-quality}} doesn't have a shared understanding on its proper use.

Template:Image-quality

• Bad cropping
• Blurriness
• Too small
• Used a camera to take a screenshot of a game

Template:Convert to PNG

No questions asked images should be PNG:

• {{game-screenshot}}
• {{game-sprite}}
• {{game-3Drender}}

Iffy if JPEG or PNG:

• {{art}}
• {{character-artwork}}

Template:Tweak

• Transparency requested
• Images with artifacting present
• Removal of watermarks
• A proper resampling is needed
• Slightly inaccurate colors

Target Audience

Only a few users actively contribute to fixing bad quality images. What is the ratio of writers vs. uploaders?

Personal Lists vs. Tagging

Personal lists as well as tagging both have their pros and cons. Personal lists are great for people who are dedicated to supplying images and are aware of on-going MarioWiki projects but risks being too obscure for regular users. Tagging is more up front about requesting a better replacement image but overtagging is a concern and users should just upload anyways.
