GuildWiki talk:Style and formatting/Images

Ok, let's talk about image presentation. I think we need to develop a standard for how images are presented on the site. By this, I mean we answer th basic questions:

For each major type of images (i.e. maps, creatures, items, screenshots), what is the standard?
 * Thumbnailed or not?
 * Standard dimensions in an article? (e.g. maps should be 200 pixels wide, characters should be 200 pixels long.)
 * Size of file?
 * Image format? PNG/JPG/GIF/Other?
 * Best practices? (example, for maps: It's best to also fully capture the name of the nearest outpost. For characters: the character should occupy 80% of the height of the screen so that its image is clear and crisp).

It looks like we all forgot about this. I'm bringing up the discussion primarily so that we can settle the issue of brightness and contrast-adjusted screenshots. -- Gordon Ecker 02:55, 21 June 2007 (CDT)
