Okay, I took care of them. Kerochan no Miko 19:05, 24 November 2006 (MST)

o_O You talking to yourself, or you've got an identical twin (S/N-wise)? --210 19:10, 24 November 2006 (MST)

I left the original note to remind myself once I was on a computer with ftp. And I left the second note so people would know that they were taken care of and wouldn't try to duplicate efforts. Kerochan no Miko 20:26, 24 November 2006 (MST)

I see. lol --210 20:46, 24 November 2006 (MST)

Photobucket?

It says to create links to sources such as Image Shack, but would Photobucket work? HaidaSan 23:33, 6 January 2007 (MST)

Since it says "such as", it means "free web hosting sites", or in other words, "not someone else's webspace that they pay for." Kerochan no Miko 23:43, 6 January 2007 (MST)

Template Bug?

There seems to be a bug with the template where, if it's used on an image at the top of an article, it adds an extra line break above the box for no apparent reason. Is anyone seeing this with images in the middle of articles as well? Do we need to stop using the template? Kerochan no Miko 21:48, 26 January 2008 (MST)

As you've already known, I've also got the similar problem in the middle of articles. As regard to the template, maybe we delete it & recreate one to see if the bug is w/i the deleted template only or it's a Wiki system bug? --210 22:08, 26 January 2008 (MST)

I'm only seeing it happen when the image is at the top of the article, whether I look at it on Firefox, IE, or Opera. I'm thinking it's a 210's-browser bug. Kerochan no Miko 23:11, 26 January 2008 (MST)

If it was, then my browser's bug could only occur w/ this template bug, since my browser has no such problem w/ other templates. lol BTW, I'm using IE, but it's the one version behind the current latest one - dunno if that could account for this difference btn your browser & mine. In any case, that template problem has to be tackled. --210 00:40, 27 January 2008 (MST)

Styles

I really strongly believe we need to change some of our style guidelines for images - people are generally using higher display resolutions than they were when this wiki started eight years ago (side note: eight years?!) so I think we can accordingly allow larger image sizes in articles. I also think we need a different way to display multiple images in one article - as it currently stands, if we want an image of a particular attack or item or such from each of the different incarnations of the series we end up with a rather ugly jumble of pictures. I'm going to start looking into ways that can be done with Mediawiki, but suggestions are welcome. Kerochan no Miko (talk) 12:42, 20 July 2014 (MST)

Makes sense.

Part of the reason why multiple images end up looking ugly seems to be that they're often of different size. The articles here are relatively short, so the pictures in them are close enough to each other that having them aligned to the same side highlights this.

Screencaps are easy to "standardize", but manga panels are always of variable proportions. If those can't be forced into a fixed width, maybe choose a single image as the "main" one (to be put in the top part of the article, or even in the infobox), and make the rest into some table at the bottom? But that'll still mean they have to be roughly the same size in order to look good. There seems to be a strong need for thumbnails.

Standard

I'm trying a new layout standard with an "Images" section in an article, so we can show multiple versions of a character or item or what-have-you without making a formatting mess (see Transformation Brooch for an example). If I can figure out what's wrong with the image uploading we could just start using the gallery tag but for now I'll have to stick with the tables. Any thoughts?

Sailor Moon Eternal and Cosmos images

I've started uploading the character designs of the Crystal movies-only characters that I took from the official websites of Eternal and Cosmos, and I even have more of them for the rest of the Cosmos cast, but I think I'm postponing the uploads for now, because... when I'm looking at the images that are currently used in the articles of the individual Sailor Power Guardians (just an example), the Crystal ones are quite big, but they look good that way, whereas when I'm uploading my images I always feel like even the cropped ones are still too big (even though they are just as fine as the Power Guardians ones size-wise, I think?) and sizing them down would make them too pixelated maybe. I still have to get a feel for good image sizes and qualities and I'm probably still used to having rather small images on the wiki, so I'll refrain the uploads until I hopefully get some feedback, which I would highly appreciate. PrinceEarth (talk) 05:29, 27 April 2023 (EDT)

A lot of it comes down to the quality of the source image. If it's just a web graphic, like something taken from the official site, it's not going to be very high quality. The Power Guardians, for example, are screencaps from the blu-ray, so they're going to be higher quality, and ideally a still image should come from a good scan of a print source. It wasn't as obvious when we were sticking to the small images in articles, so I imagine that finding good quality images is going to be more important going forward. Kerochan no Miko (talk) 16:32, 27 April 2023 (EDT)

Thank you for responding! Ah okay, I guess, that makes sense. I will make sure to keep that in mind going forward. PrinceEarth (talk) 08:07, 1 May 2023 (EDT)

All that being said, there's nothing wrong with using smaller size images if that's what is currently available. They can always be replaced later if someone finds a better version, and I think it's probably better to have a smaller and nice looking image than no image at all. Kerochan no Miko (talk) 19:31, 4 May 2023 (EDT)

Thank you for adding that. I agree with you. The only images one can currently find of Chibi Chibi Moon (Senshi form), the Animamates, Star Gardeners, Lethe and Mnemosyne in Crystal have text in the background which looks... not that good when you're trying to crop them, but at least for the Starlights, Kakyuu, Galaxia and Chibi Chibi (civilian form) I found ones with plain white backgrounds and of relatively good sizes and qualities. I hope they're okay. When I tried to upload my new version of File:Fighter Crystal.jpg, however, I somehow managed to mess that file up. Sorry about that... I don't know what went wrong there. That's also why I refrain from uploading my new version of File:Kakyuu Crystal.jpg for now. I think I can't fix that myself, so I'd be very grateful if you could do that. Once my new versions of Fighter and Kakyuu are up, I will add them to their respective articles (in "Image" sections for now, and once we have enough information about the Cosmos movies, we can move them to "Crystal" sections). PrinceEarth (talk) 02:58, 5 May 2023 (EDT)

I'm not seeing any issues with the Sailor Star Fighter image, so I'm not sure what you're wanting me to fix? Kerochan no Miko (talk) 18:29, 5 May 2023 (EDT)

When I uploaded my new version (white background, no text) of the Fighter image, even though the file history looked the way it should, the file itself still looked like the original version (color background with text), but for some reason expanded in width. And when I would make a right click on the new version via the file history to open it in a new tab, it would also look exactly like the original version. At least that was true for me when viewing the file page in my standard browser on my computer yesterday. And even now that you deleted the original version, the file still looks like the original version (but widened) for me, and when opening the new version in a new tab via the file history, it also still looks like the original version. However, I've also now tested viewing the file page in different browsers and also the incognito version of my standard browser on both my tablet and my computer, and... no issues there. So, I guess it's just a visual glitch that persists stubbornly in the non-incognito version of my browser, no matter if I'm logged in or not. Thank you for trying to help nonetheless. :) PrinceEarth (talk) 01:29, 6 May 2023 (EDT)

Huh, interesting. The same issues arise with my reupload of Kakyuu (except that her original version is sometimes narrowed instead of widened), so I guess my browser just has an issue with uploading new versions of images in general. Also, when the Fighter and Kakyuu images are embedded in their respective articles, even there they still look like the original versions (but widened for Fighter and narrowed for Kakyuu) for me in my standard browser, but in other browsers they're fine. PrinceEarth (talk) 01:46, 6 May 2023 (EDT)

There does seem to be a browser caching issue where it won't display the new version of the image when it's replaced. Just clear your cache and it should be fine. Kerochan no Miko (talk) 14:16, 6 May 2023 (EDT)

Oooh, that did indeed help. Thank you very much! And also thanks for deleting the original versions of Fighter and Kakyuu that were not as good as the newer ones. :) PrinceEarth (talk) 15:27, 6 May 2023 (EDT)

Sorry for uploading the Miranda and Triton Castle images multiple times each. I thought my first attempt at scaling them down would be enough to make them small enough to not take up so much space in their respective articles, but I had to scale them down once more. I hope they're good now. Feel free to delete the previous versions if they're bothering. PrinceEarth (talk) 07:36, 27 January 2024 (EST)

I'm not sure what you mean? The point of using the "thumb" tag on the image is that by so doing the individual user can set the scale to fit how they're viewing the articles on their device, so you shouldn't need to do any kind of special scaling on images.
