Template talk:Screenshot

Renaming
I think this template should be changed to the name of just "Screenshot" because it covers things that are more than television. We use this for movies and games too, right? It should cover everything we use it for in the name so that's less confusing and more people don't mistakenly use for movie things.

My one concern is that if we rename it, will we have to change it on every page, or will that be done automatically? 04:05, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

Media Screenshot would be better so that idiots don't just classify everything as a screenshot. 04:06, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

If we rename it, it will be done on all pages. If it didn't, there would be no reason templates should exist. 04:10, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

@JSD: neither one or the other. If we move it, there'll be a redirect and everything will still work OK.

Though we should update all the page with a bot because a template redirect is just awful in my opinion...

Of course. But it can be done later, it's not a big deal if the redirect stays a bit.

So I should do it then? 16:19, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

I see it's already been done. But is there a reason that it's "Media-Screenshot" and not "Media screenshot"? The hyphen and the capital S (the code is caps-sensitive, right?) seem unnecessary. 07:23, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

The whole word "media" is unnecessary. Just screenshot would be better. The word media doesn't clarify anything (since manga, books etc are media as well), and having two words brings case-sensitivity issues into play that wouldn't exist if it was just one word. 07:30, October 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree. Let's just say in the description of the template that it's not for Manga. 15:27, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, agreed.
