Size of image
I find that 150 px is a little big, I'm thinking of resizing to 125px maybe even lower. With 2 full gallery with headgear it gets a really big.&mdash; ├ A ratak ┤  16:27, 25 January 2007 (CST)
 * I'm not against this idea. Users can always click on the images to see a bigger view. If you change it I'll keep an eye out for ones that aren't on template. - BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 22:50, 25 January 2007 (CST)
 * If you look at my sandbox you will see a exemple of each size. I find 100px to be nice but was wondering if people find it to small.&mdash; ├ A ratak ┤  10:10, 26 January 2007 (CST)
 * That actually looks much better. Hopefully other people will share their opinions too! - BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 10:26, 26 January 2007 (CST)
 * 100px looks okay to me. :) --Glynnis   18:05, 26 January 2007 (CST)

It's checked off as green, but no earring shot. Do the earrings change color, and is there a need to switch it to ? Craw   14:11, 3 February 2007 (CST)
 * I don't consider earring to be that important. They are only there for completness.  So in my opinion it should be consider done.&mdash; ├ A ratak ┤  15:27, 3 February 2007 (CST)

Armor Poses
There's been a recent tendency to take screenshots of armor in some "at attention" pose. While this does take a lot of work to do and it does create uniformity, please consider the following. In a clothing store, they often pose the clothing on a mannequin to create a loose, fashionable feel. It's true that if the poses were stiff and uptight, it wouldn't appeal to the eye as much. Every piece of armor that is posed in this "/attention" emote is suddenly rendered dry and undesirable.

I'm all for uniformity, but it is my opinion that, if we are to start posing the armors the same, we could probably choose a better pose. And that's just my personal opinion. I'd be more than willing to help on the alternative to this. --Cyann 17:07, 15 February 2007 (CST)

Syntax
In the Syntax section, why is the grey headgear section missing entirely? I don't think it's missing from the actual template, but it's not on this page, it was taken out a few edits ago for whatever reason. The comment was "this is definitely not right" or something along those lines. WHY? O_O RoseOfKali 08:47, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Category:Armor gallery screenshots
Since when? I've never heard of this before and I've been doing armor galleries for quite a while now. A "Screenshot" category is enough, there's no need to categorize them further. I mean, WHY? Do you have any idea how long it would take to re-categorize all the armor gallery screenshots? RoseOfKali 17:43, 9 August 2008 (UTC)


 * You don't need to recat them, but we have a couple thousand images and it's quite hard to sort through them as nearly none of them have cats. So I thought it'd be nice to, you know, get going on the new und uncatted ones. To cat the old ones is a bot task, but there's no hurry. --◄mendel► 23:42, 9 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I see. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 00:39, 10 August 2008 (UTC)


 * "uncatted" is sleepy for "unlicensed", as in "when we add a license, we can add that category at the same time". --◄mendel► 18:53, 10 August 2008 (UTC)


 * But I don't type in the license, I use the drop down. :P I can never remember what to type for the cat, you need to create a one-word template for that (or something equally short and easy to remember). ;) RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 20:32, 10 August 2008 (UTC)


 * That was easy: type or  in the upload summary (ag is short for armor gallery). Short enough? --◄mendel► 06:03, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


 * That's better. Now let's see if I remember it next time. :P  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 17:24, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


 * We could put that into MediaWiki:Licenses to make it even easier to use, I just can't think of how to word the description. &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 18:22, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


 * That would be the best if you could do that. I mean, if you really wanna get fancy, you could do armor screenshot, item screenshot, monster/NPC screenshot, other screenshot, or something like that...  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 17:06, 12 August 2008 (UTC)


 * GWW has lots of image categories, we could try to set up a cat tree similar to that to better organize our... what was it, 14,000 screenshots? &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 17:42, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 21000 screenshots. --◄mendel► 06:28, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Isle of Solitude
I'd appreciate it if I could get some comments on the Isle of Solitude lighting - I think it's pretty neutral as well. It is possible to place people at teh top of a stair (the "other" base works well) to have only sky as the background. I have also been using Texmod to create a white wall and floor to take pictures in front of. Comments? --◄mendel► 06:21, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
