MarioWiki:Proposals: Difference between revisions

#{{User|SolemnStormcloud}} Per all.

#{{User|Ray Trace}} I'd argue that even with a beefy processor that will magically just load the entire gallery section without issues, having a seemingly endless amount of 256x256 images that are practically all the same except there is a different stock artwork of a character on the front is a ginormous chore to sift through and arguably not even important information that is worth it at all for the effort to scroll through, overall hindering wiki usability (this is not something we should gatekeep for lower-end users).. I understand "interesting" is a subjective term, but pray tell me, ''is it really worth it extending pages and causing performance issues on our browsers for our readers''? Is this something our readers come to our wiki for? What illustrative purpose is it for Mario Circuit 1 to have an extensive gallery comprising of exact same pictures, except there is stock art of Peach here instead of Mario? In fact, I think in general, our galleries are a bit overextensive to begin with (I don't think we need to document literally everything but the kitchen sink in our game articles), superceding the entire purpose of our image categories. As for being "buried in the wiki" (which is a far stretch, none of those course icons are orphaned pages and have extensive coverage) I really fail to see how keeping, say [[:File:MKT Icon DKPassRDS BabyLuigi.png|this course icon for DK Pass R]] separate from being compiled into an all-in-one gallery and used where the context is actually appropriate (for example, it's used in the [[Baby Luigi Cup]], [[Frost Tour]], [[Holiday Tour (2019)]], and [[Snow Tour]] articles, a far cry from being "buried in the depths of the wiki) is an issue in the first place.

<s>#{{User|Camwoodstock}} Per proposal--these icons are already on the tour articles where they're relevant, so having all of these variations on the courses' galleries is a bit overkill. It'd be one thing if they were in a gallery subpage, but just on the articles itself...?</s>
