Talk:Point of Interest Template

I've created an updated template for POIs. Please post any feedback here. I will hold off on updating existing POIs until then. --An Adventurer 11:22, 5 November 2008 (CST)

Image Naming Format

I think we should come up with a standard for naming images for POIs, and also for quests, and other things that have the potential for several images associated with them. For example, on items and creatures, we name the files Article Name Live.jpg for the live shot, and then Article Name.jpg for the stats panel. For POIs would it make sense to name them Article Name Live 1.jpg, Article Name Live 2.jpg, etc.. or perhaps some other format? If we don't do this, then people just name them however they want, and it gets messy. I've seen this hodgepodge of naming on quests a lot, like Aerbax's Citadel, etc... --Atarax 13:52, 4 February 2009 (CST)

I agree. For most POIs, images should be named {{PAGENAME}}.jpg. And if needed, we would add 1, 2, etc or a description after the article name when multiple shots are needed. Same thing for quests. However, there are many times when we can use other images, such as the live shots of creatures, npcs, and items. So I don't think we should include any naming rules in the actual template code, instead we should add a note in the template description about image naming and use. --An Adventurer 14:07, 4 February 2009 (CST)

I agree, its smart to just have some notes about the proper format for each type of image. So if you are including an image that belongs to another page, it remains in its original format.
