What should I use if I shouldn't use paint? Theryguy512 15:06, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
pngs
We want pngs for certain things like episode head images. We want to put the image into the template so we don't have to worry about people changing them. We want good pngs, but we also would rather not have other formats. So, we may accept jpgs, we just would rather have pngs. Maverick Nate 20:20, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
I see. Well, my complaints were mainly about converting jpg to png, which usually makes no sense. But I believe I see the reason why you want PNGs: When the uploaded file is resized to a pretty small size (for some kind of template) and then gets compressed as JPG by MediaWiki since the original uploaded file was in this format too, it might not look very good because of the artifacts. Is my guess right, is that the reason for PNGs? A possible solution would be to configure MediaWiki to make it compress resized JPGs at a higher quality setting, for example 80 oder 85 instead of 70 or 75 or so. I don't know for sure, but I'm rather certain this can be changed in the MediaWiki configuration. o.o" --Nyoo 20:37, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
- We don't like when they are converted to png from jpg. We like when they are taken as Pngs. I don't know about mediawiki thing though... Another reason we want pngs is because we have had multiple cases of people stealing images, which is against our rules as well as the other sites. Other sites usually only carry pngs, so we are trying to prevent the stealing by restricting the uploading of jpgs and gifs. Maverick Nate 00:03, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
Also
We do have a rule against watermarks, and we have removed the images whenever we see them. We don't want them at all. Watermarks are just seen as bad here, and we don't want to deal with that unnecessary hassle. So, we delete things with watermarks because that is what we believe.

Oh, I didn't know that. Where should I have read about this? I was kinda looking for rules on such things, but I guess I missed it. --Nyoo 20:37, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
- It isn't a written down rule, per say, we mostly just talked about it. It should appear in the MoS when the Archives MoS gets the rewrite like all the rest did. Maverick Nate 00:00, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
Deletion
You can't just delete things without delinking them. That is just inconsiderate towards anyone using the images. Maverick Nate 02:00, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
Hey!
Why did you delete my Frontier Brain pictures? They were in PNG format. Don't you know that everything is wanted in PNG now? You should restore them and delete the JPGs. --Kenji-girl 06:03, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
