Cards and image categories
Do not bother re-uploading all the images for the CvS DS cards unless you are willing to a) categorize them and b) replace all of the image descriptions they had on them previously. Here is an example of what all the DS cards should look like. I do not have the patience to re-do all of them for you. It's just easier for me to delete the version you upload and use the old image upload. Kyosei 09:22, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for taking the time to categorize the images. Just thought you'd like to know that you can categorize the image while you're uploading rather than after you've uploaded it. Simply type in the Summary box . If it has a description like the DS cards, simply copy and paste that before the Category stuff. An example of how this will look like in code would be:


 * Summary: Illustrated by Shinkiro. Card Description: Whatever it says here.


 * Of course you're still free to do it the way you are now, but just thought I'd drop a line on how to speed up the process. Happy editing ^^ Kyosei 22:18, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Allen O'Neil Jr.
At the moment, image sizes for infoboxes are set to always re-size to be 200px in width. I could change it to allow a manual re-size by editors but it would require tweaking it for every page that currently uses the infobox template. Yup, over 200 articles. I'd rather not go through that again when I had to do it the first time. Personally, I find how the image as it is in the article fine. The larger size does not distort the image too bad and you can still clearly see what he looks like which is the purpose of such images anyways. There is also the option of not having an image there at all as I have designed the infobox code to work without an image as well. If the size really bothers you, you can always remove the image from the infobox. The sprite is still displayed down below in the sprite section in any case and having an image is not a requirement, just an option. Kyosei 02:38, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Sprites
To be frank, it just makes more sense to me do it by order of series, title number, and company. That's why the rearrangements were done. Mixing in Neo Geo Pocket sprites with the SSRPG ones or the Capcom vs SNK ones is more baffling to me. Well, I guess it doesn't really matter in the end. Sake neko 11:25, April 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * All right, so you like pictures. And you like sprites. My personal answer as to why galleries exist: I'd rather not want to try to get in trouble by the company for posting too many images. Before a lot of users came, it was okay since we were uploading relatively low-resolution images. Now, it's pretty much free game for some reason, and it's getting a bit out of hand. I'd rather not deal with the idea of the company somehow getting upset and suing or whatever since imagespam is well... not really encouraged on any means. This is a wikia after all and it's still under a wikipedia-like license. Not as heavily enforced mind you, but it's still there at the bottom of the edit window I am typing in.


 * Galleries are there to be just that. Imagespam of whatever and any picture that someone wants to put up for a character. Provided, it's still way too obnoxious in some cases, but it's there. They can also become free reign for other media the character is in but not everyone is interested in. Y'know, like the entire CG sets for Days of Memories, those silly mobile games, fanservicey pachi-slot images, and other promotional artwork from Neo Geo Freak that you can find in artbooks everywhere. Not every fighting game fan cares for those.


 * Why are you mixing up the Capcom vs SNK, SNK Gal Fighters, NGPC sprites with the AOF, FF, and KOF ones is still beyond me. It's still not "chronologically ordered" as you claim, and it still alienates the KOF XII sprites like mad. Your new formatting will make them stick out even more than they already do. Your format would also visually undo all of the writing and series separation that exists throughout the entire wikia. What was wrong with separating it by series continuity, really?


 * One of my future plans for this wiki is to someday go back to the card series and go more in-depth with each title. I'd like to create a detailed card list separated by each game, filling a table for each card's cost, effects, and special abilities on the SNK and Capcom sides. I'd like to divide them by character cards, action cards, and then reaction/counter cards and put all of their in-game descriptions and artist credits next to each card. All you're doing is posting an image and claiming that by itself, it shows importance. It seems to me that you haven't really played these games and are only really interested in saying that "so-and-so" had a card.


 * If you aren't going to bother going through the effort of stating what purpose each card has, why bother keep them on a character page? Unless you decide to carry out this plan or until I get the will to do these pages, that's all those cards that you are posting up are really doing. If that's all you plan to do, they are better off in the gallery page. The newest character card in a character's appearance section is there as a silent reminder that "so-and-so" had a card in the game. Sake neko 09:21, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
