This is the talk page for the Phineas and Ferb Wiki talk page "Image policy". This space is used for discussing improvements to the article, not to talk about or make comments about the page's subject. Please remember to stay civil and sign all of your messages with four tildes ( |
The purpose of this policy is to help us standardize how files are named and which format is used, so that we can reduce the number of duplicate pictures that are uploaded. Several hundred duplicate pictures have already been deleted.
This standardization also benefits the Affiliated Wikis program, whose members will be sharing our English-named files. — RRabbit42 (leave a message) 22:32, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

Voting[]
Cast your vote for or against this page becoming policy for the wiki. Whether casting a vote for or against, all votes must state why they support or oppose it, rather casting a simple "yes" or "no" vote. All votes must be signed or they will be considered invalid.
Voting will begin at 00:00 UTC on July 2, 2010 and end at 23:59 UTC on July 18, 2010 August 14, 2010.
- Support: My goal for this policy is to help us have high quality images that load quickly, provide ease of use, have sensible picture names and reduce the amount of duplicate pictures. With the proper steps, .jpg pictures are fine for most situations and take less time to display than .png pictures. — RRabbit42 (leave a message) 06:22, July 2, 2010 (UTC)
- Support: As a contributor to crafting this policy, I also support it. The use of .png files should be phased out and we should start using high quality .jpg images. They are much smaller in size, load quicker, and are similar in quality to a .png file for most purposes. —Topher (talk) 08:02, July 5, 2010 (UTC)
- Support: I support the policy. The quality of an image is very important, especially because we are having a featured picture every month. A featured picture should have a good quality and a good description. Also, filenames will easily let readers know what the picture is all about, especially when the message is vague when just looking at the picture. Phineas18 10:15, July 5, 2010 (UTC)
- Support: This policy as written accomplishes the goals set out for it, and will improve picture quality and accessibility on the Wiki. -- Ryan Stoppable (call me, beep me) 03:23, July 29, 2010 (UTC)
