Forum:Images in Chapter and Episode Articles

Alright, I've been talking in chat with a few people about how we really jumped the gun on adding Images to chapter pages in some kind of Galaxy9000-led anti-anime rage. We've got a bunch of problems with anime images showing up on chapter articles, because people don't check the uses of an image, and are too lazy to upload two images to replace one. In fact, I don't think images help either chapter or episode articles. I think we should remove them all and let the summaries stand alone. 22:17, October 6, 2015 (UTC)

Agreed. Images don't really help other than showing what's going on in the episode, which we already said in the summaries, and if people really want to know so much about what's going on in an episode, they can watch it themselves. If anything, images on chapter/episode pages are just creating more work for us. I support removing them. 22:25, October 6, 2015 (UTC)

Images are fine in episodes. Just get rid of them in chapter articles. The only issue with images in either is the images make stubby chapter/episodes not look like stubs. SeaTerror (talk) 22:30, October 6, 2015 (UTC)

I agree with SeaTerror here. Though I haven't been adding images to the last few episode summaries I've written because I wasn't sure if it was allowed, I believe they make the summaries more interesting to look at, since it's no longer just a wall of text. And yeah, images only in episode summaries because manga images will most likely be updated to anime ones and those would look weird on a chapter article.--Xilinoc (talk) 23:02, October 6, 2015 (UTC)

Why are they fine in episodes but not chapters? Functionally the same thing. And I don't mind them. They spice up pages that'd otherwise be a bit bland. Leman-Russkin (talk) 18:43, October 7, 2015 (UTC)

Because in the case of chapters the images were mostly uploaded just to be uploaded. Like when an anime image won on a poll it was reuploaded as a manga image and added to chapter articles just to be there. SeaTerror (talk) 18:53, October 7, 2015 (UTC)

I think we can remove images from both chapter and episode summaries. They're summaries; they provide an overview of what goes on and probably aren't meant to be a replacement for actually reading the chapter or watching the episode. While the images do look nice, they ultimately aren't necessary. MizuakiYume (talk) 19:15, October 7, 2015 (UTC)

I believe we should keep images only in episode summaries, not in chapter pages. 10:22, October 8, 2015 (UTC)
