Template talk:Images-Missing

Just look for missing links on the special page, or do a manual list? &mdash; Skuld 13:55, 25 December 2006 (CST)
 * Not quite sure how it should work, but I figured this would be a useful marker for articles. - Nex 13:58, 25 December 2006 (CST)

Nice emote. &mdash; Blastedt(Talk) 14:05, 25 December 2006 (CST)

Heh, I thought it was cute. :) But I'm changing it to a standard broken image icon. - Nex 14:06, 25 December 2006 (CST)



I think noobs are gonna post alot of bug reports saying the image on this template is broken if we use this widely. Just a thought, though. &mdash; Blastedt(Talk) 14:12, 25 December 2006 (CST)
 * Not really, because, noobs won't know how to use templates. XD - Nex.jpg 14:16, 25 December 2006 (CST)

This should not be used as it is. As it is, the projects for monster images and armor galleries definitely do a better job for those types. A huge list of every article missing an image isn't helpful. It's more likely someone will be interested in working on a class of articles such as skills, monsters, or items than just taking screenshots of random things with no relation. The stub categories serve to organize things in this manner. --Fyren 04:44, 26 December 2006 (CST)
 * I agree - the stub category already serves the purpose of a central repository of incomplete articles, and this template doesn't provide any organnisation beyond that which would be beneficial for completing articles. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 12:06, 26 December 2006 (CST)
 * As it is? By all means, how could we implement this and make it work? I think that just putting the stub template isn't enough, sometimes I look at that and say to myself.."What is it missing?" The current stub template doesn't tell me. Thats' for sure.- Nex 16:06, 26 December 2006 (CST)
 * Add an image link? [[Image:Elementalist boss.jpg]] certainly gets my attention &mdash; Skuld 19:16, 26 December 2006 (CST)


 * This template is clearly not the solution you're looking to find. While some stubs may not be clear as to why it was tagged as a stub; as Skuld points out, a broken image link is pretty self-explainatory.  So, the stubs that are that way due to a missing image are self-evidant.  No need for this additional template.  For text stub issues, most stub types (ie:, , , ,  , etc) already have links in the template to the relevant style and formatting guide, so nothing further is needed on those either. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 19:50, 26 December 2006 (CST)


 * As nice as your stubs may be, what do they do? Point you to a talk page...or point you to the style guide. the style guide does nothing to point out missing info, it tells you very little in that reguard. Maybe it's time GuildWiki revaluated it's system.


 * Right now this template essentially does nothing. It places a message at the top saying there's a missing image.  Users can see there's a missing image; they're already on the page with a red link like a few comments up.  --Fyren 04:47, 27 December 2006 (CST)
 * It does something, and FYI, not everyone know's what a red link is. Nex 13:27, 27 December 2006 (CST)
 * Lol, they don't know how to use a wiki, so we make a template, not a help page, genius! &mdash; Skuld 13:32, 27 December 2006 (CST)
 * This template serves no purpose. Red links are self explainatory (if you click one, it even spells it out for you). --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 13:28, 27 December 2006 (CST)
