: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) | ::For the record, screenshot thumbnails are generated automatically by the wiki, and they are extremely small.

::Okay, I didn't know the wiki generated the thumbs, so that's good news. Alright then we'll see how it plays out without the cap. And yes, we don't have videos for every game, but I hope people will post their videos here now that the forum threads also link to the wiki. If there are enough videos then what I said could be applied, if you all agree with it ofcourse. I just think that it'll be more interesting to have different parts of the game shown than just the same gameplay style. Generally we'll want the best possible videos to show off Dolphin yes. Glad we agree. :P - [[User:Garteal|Garteal]] ([[User talk:Garteal|talk]]) 13:53, 8 November 2012 (CET) | |||
