Erry - Deep Drive TALK - Moon shine down. ~ 02:36, January 31, 2011 (UTC) I propose that in the new wiki after we successfully move to the Kingdom Hearts DB that we put in a new image policy that every filetype of image must be either .png or .gif because I find it a big pain when I want to remove the background of an image and then only to find that the original image is .jpg and have to upload an entirely new file, that clutters up the image category. Both .png and .gif support transparent backgrounds, however .jpg does not and it has horrible compression. So, what do you think?

maggosh The steel is forged... — "Souls as far as the eye can see..." "If you want light to rule over all, then you must rid the world of everything else." I completely agree.

LegoAlchemist - They changed "Snipe Magnet" to "Magnet Grab"? Who's translating this game, 4kids? TALK - Friendships are in direct contravention of mercenary conduct as delineated in your contracts, and on a personal note: I am very, very, disappointed with you. I think it is an excellent idea, Erry, only I'm worried about how easy it will be to moderate... I mean, it can't be exactly a walk in the park to sort through hundreds up images and distinguish whether they are the correct file extension, and then move them, can it?

The Inexistent - What happen?!? TALK - Somebody set up us the bomb... I also agree. I fully support this idea, although, as previously stated, this will be extremely hard to moderate. In addition, the majority of the lead images and screenshots currently being used ARE jpg. to replace these will take an extremely long time, and the deletion of the superseded files would take monthes (look in the articles for deletion, most of them have been there for monthes, and still remain in existence).

Lilienne - "If the king doesn't lead, how can he expect his subordinates to follow?" TALK - "Snow is white because it's forgotten the colour it's supposed to be." 23:24, January 31, 2011 (UTC) 2¢...It sounds good, but I agree it would be a pain to sort through the images.

17master - Nothing is true Everything is permitted TALK - Vittoria Agli Assassini! ~ {{{time}}} What about the original .jpg files? Should they be deleted?

KrytenKoro - Most bears were content to live their lives, mauling and eating one, maybe two humans at most. "Mass-murder," as the bears always said, "is for the sharks." But not Barry. Barry was different. He knew that one day, he would kill ALL of the humans. This is the inspiring, tear-jerking story of one bear and the dream he dared to dream. TALK - They should be marked for deletion, certainly, but not deleted until they are replaced across the wiki.
