Alright guys, let's get the whole video and screenshot thing settled. I've added some screenshots and created a [[Brawl/sandbox|Brawl Sandbox]], and we can use this to finalize how we want to do it. The idea is that it has no cap for screenshots, but they are 200px (we can always add a cap), and presented in a gallery. Embedded videos are 300px and use the youtube template, and are capped to 3 videos per page, with links to remaining videos. (I have no idea how we'll pick which videos are shown and which aren't, but, yea.) Gameplay videos are presented after screenshots because the links disrupt the flow of the page, having it go from thumbnails to thumbnails makes a cleaner look. And last but not least, screenshots have categories. Wii screenshots, GameCube screenshots, etc etc. So guys, do you like how it's done there? Any changed you'd like? - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 12:54, 8 November 2012 (CET) | Alright guys, let's get the whole video and screenshot thing settled.

:If we don't have a cap, it will increase the loading time of the page depending on the number of screenshots and their quality(lossless PNGs, etc). Imagine if there's like 10 3MB shots in there. In order to address that, we either have to limit the screenshots to JPG only to reduce the filesizes and loading times, or have a reasonable cap. I like the 200px size for screenshots. The only thing that remains is the padding of it, which iirc, Jhonn was going to address. As for the videos, the three that should be embedded have to be recorded without any emulator glitches (if possible) and has to be high quality videos (if possible). We'll have one video for each type, eg: one video showing the gameplay, one the intro, one shows the battles. 300px seems reasonable to me. And yes, I like the cleaner approach as well, so good job on that MaJoR. As for the screenshots category, are they meant to show a giant gallery of every games' screenshots? - [[User:Garteal|Garteal]] ([[User talk:Garteal|talk]]) 13:16, 8 November 2012 (CET) | :If we don't have a cap, it will increase the loading time of the page depending on the number of screenshots and their quality(lossless PNGs, etc).

::For the record, screenshot thumbnails are generated automatically by the wiki, and they are extremely small. Dialup can load that sandbox in no time, trust me. In fact, I just downloaded one just to check. [http://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/images/thumb/d/d1/Brawl-RSBE01-1584.jpg/120px-Brawl-RSBE01-1584.jpg 4KB]. Yea, that'll bring your browser to a crawl :P. Anyway, we can have any as many screenshots as we want on the page, without worrying about load times. The only reason for a cap on the videos is because they were causing a stall as browsers loaded them, due to the crappiness of the flash plugin. As for the one video of each type thing, I don't think that's a good idea, simply because we only have so many videos to pick from. I think we should just pick the best ones, taking into account HD, any glitches present, and overall quality of it. - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 13:46, 8 November 2012 (CET) | |||
