Verse Thing

[Arigarmy]

How come some verse pages like Dragon Ball, Marvel Comics, Masadaverse, etc. have weird collages of characters while pages like Pokémo, Ben 10, and SCP Foundatio have transparent logos?

Shouldn't it be just one or the other, or am I just being picky?

we should put the basic verse logo as the main image, have a gallery somewhere else

I was thinking about that but that's either a big project for something with multiple parts to a franchise like Dragon Ball, something that could probably be split into tabs, and then you have something with no real "logo" at all.

Really just irked with the DB one because it relies on fanart.

we could use this for Lovecraft

Possibly, but there's still a plethora of other things that may have this situation.

Going to be gone for the next eight-nine hours so just a bump to see how things will go later.

Bumperino.

Thread still dead. Anyway for something like DB which has numerous parts to it you can probably divide it like so.







Or something like that, I guess.

Here are more examples










I will contact Ant if needed, is that a good idea?

It's basically whatever people think looks best for the page. There's no real consistency when it comes to that, nor do I think it's too necessary for there to be. Especially if using a different picture looks nicer.

I think there should be some consistency as it would just look neater and more professional, and even if one cannot find a full character image of a verse, it would be easy to find a title image or logo.

Id personally like to use the verse logo but this doesnt seem like a pressing issue.

 

[FanofRPGs]

If its okay, could I myself do the changes without the hassals of a wikiwide revision?

Using a logo for one series and a different type of picture for another is not anything that makes us look disorganized or unprofessional. And honestly it's an insanely minor type of detail most people wouldn't even realize or care at all about.

What looks nicest for a page should take precedence over being a stickler for "consistency". We were sticklers for making most character pictures 400px, and no offense intended but it made a bunch of them look like shit.

Making a page look good in of itself in my opinion is far more important than making sure every single page exactly follows the way every single other page is done.

If that's the case, then a lot of the majority can just be replaced with fanart? It can be made to look "better" than what's already there in that situation. It's still just a personal thing, and I do think it does look unprofessional, but those are just my opinions.

It's also my opinion that the official work on the page is also falling under "making a page look good" at least for me. I'm not as much irked by inconsistency even if it kills me, more just the use of fanart.

"I'm not as much irked by inconsistency even if it kills me, more just the use of fanart."

Your entire point is the consistency, and only 1 of your examples of pages you don't like is a fan art...

Anyways I don't have much of an issue with fanart if it's of considerably higher quality than the original and the style isn't too much different from the canon (Like making Ed, Edd and Eddy a bishounen style or something)

However even if we don't use a fanart for a character profile, my point remains that if a certain verse picture looks better than a logo for a page, it's fine to use that. And that in my opinion "one page has a logo and the other has a picture" is a rather minor and absurd criticism and not one that makes the site seem unprofessional at all. I prioritize presentation over being a stickler of every page being just like the other.

Though if a majority of people find a logo to be better for certain verse pages, then I'm fine with those.

 

[Arigarmy]

Guess it's just preference, then. It's just opinions clashing here, there's not much really happening with this thread.

I agree with Ryukama here. This isn't an issue imo.
