=== Standards for Videos and Screenshots ===
=== Standards for Videos and Screenshots ===
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. HD receives priority?) 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:MayImilae|MayImilae]] ([[User talk:MayImilae|talk]]) 12:54, 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). 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, mbc07 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 MayImilae. 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)
