Forum:Wikia's Mainpage Images

Hi,

yeah it's me again with a suggestion. Bare with me, please. :P It's about those images that represent this wiki on Wikia's mainpage (Wikia staff post). There are currently three of them - one of them is a fanart that isn't actually allowed here.

Shall we look out for some replacements, so either DP or Yata may update the images through Special:Promote (admins & Oasis skin only) or leave it to them only or leave the images the way they are?

The current images are File:Wikia-Visualization-Main.png, File:Wikia-Visualization-Add-1.png, File:Wikia-Visualization-Add-2.png - they can only be updated by the Promote special page. Wikia's review may take some time after the images are uploaded. -- [ defchris ] · [ Diskussion ] · 16:02, September 6, 2012 (UTC)

I don't really think one of the pictures is fanart, I think the one you're speaking about was actually in a coulour walk book.. But anyways I do agree that some variety on the main page is a welcome accommodation

Do I really have to bring up the moment you couldn't see the 8th sword of Hyouzou? Are you blind THT? The third image is something even a blind person would recognize as fanart! Besides, I suggest http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/File:Friends_or_foes.png. Simply too epic.

ಠ_ಠ That sword thing never happend. Anyways, we have tons of rules against fanart but we have it on the main page since ages >_>? EDIT: I think it actually came from a calendar, and not a colour walk...

The first image is from a calendar. The second image is from the anime (I believe the second ending). The third image is fanart. 16:33, September 6, 2012 (UTC)

THT, join the chat if you are really that blind (facepalm).

File:Wikia-Visualization-Main.png is from the Shounen Jump 2012 One Piece calendar. This one is fanart. Anyway, I definitely agree on updating them, although we shouldn't do it ourselves but suggest the files to the admins, since I don't know if that's gonna work if we do it instead using Special:Promote. Anyway I don't think it's a real problem if we use fanart or edited images, I always thought that the guidelines applies only to articles, but that maybe was only me (generally fanart is awful anyway). I think we should looking is color spreads and volume covers or some anime specials for replacement.
