File talk:NoPicAvailable.png

New Image
The current picture that is being used when there is no available picture is not very good. In my opinion it looks terrible, so I made this: http://i.imgur.com/krO4uyV.png It might not be perfect, but I think it's definitely a lot better than what's currently being used. The page for this file said to discuss before uploading a new version, so that's what this is. What do people think? 22:08, August 30, 2014 (UTC)

I agree with this change. Mr. Whatever (talk) 22:40, August 30, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the input, I no longer see the warning on the page or any reason to hesitate, so I went ahead and uploaded it. 23:10, August 30, 2014 (UTC)

Uh, no. 1 person agreeing with you who is not even an admin, a discussion does not make. You need to wait for more people to have input. I personally think the image is kinda bad looking. And it has to be square, given how No Pic Available is used to replace numerous Portraits. 23:13, August 30, 2014 (UTC)

Oh, alright then. 23:14, August 30, 2014 (UTC)

The image is unsuitable for multiple sizes. You can barely read it when it's small. The NoPicAvailable image can be down to 120px which at that size you can't even read. You can only see the wanted and the dead or alive part clearly and this is just one problem with this new proposed image.--DuelMaster93 (talk) 23:25, August 30, 2014 (UTC)

You're right, how about this one then: http://i.imgur.com/7nKDAHK.png   23:41, August 30, 2014 (UTC)

It's an improvement, but that image appears to be fan-art. I don't think we're aloud to have fan-art, and if it is aloud we would need to know who it's from. Perhaps you could find a similar image, except a screenshot from the series. Also, as JustSomeDude pointed out earlier, it has to square.--DuelMaster93 (talk) 00:14, August 31, 2014 (UTC)

Ah, yes I forgot about that. I think that the fanart rule only applies to actual images in articles, but I'll see if I can find something good to replace it. Also, although it appears to be a rectangle it actually is a square, it's 500px x 500px. 01:22, August 31, 2014 (UTC)

We don't need a fancy image for this. The original is better. SeaTerror (talk) 03:30, August 31, 2014 (UTC)

I totally agree with ST on this. We don't need anything fancy, as this is not meant to catch the eye. Also, it needs to be only text given how it needs to be readable at portrait gallery size. 18:01, August 31, 2014 (UTC)

I don't really "care" if it gets replaced, but if the design can be improved, and be "One Piece" related, then I'm all for it. Just needs to have more readability in a thumbnail. Mr. Whatever (talk) 04:06, September 3, 2014 (UTC)

So do we really need this to be an active discussion now? There's a lot of them and this is not exactly a pressing matter. If you've got an image, then make it active again, if not, I think we're done here. 02:54, September 4, 2014 (UTC)

The image that is currently in use for "No Picture Available" needs replacing,as mentioned above by the users. Also, this is not the first time that people complain about it.

I think the chosen image is of poor quality and it doesn't fit the wikia interface. Therefore,I'm requesting a change to be made,that is, if other users agree,obviously.

Here are my suggestions :

1st Version: (The following picture with Robin is NOT fanart of any kind,it's actually the cover of chapter 540.)

2nd Version: http://s1125.photobucket.com/user/guxhumi2/media/NoPicAvailable2_zps9e1nbbve.png.html

3rd Version: http://s1125.photobucket.com/user/guxhumi2/media/NoPicAvailable3_zpsaltzbsok.png.html

4th Version: http://s1125.photobucket.com/user/guxhumi2/media/NoPicAvailable4_zpsblz6ufua.png.html

My first choice would be the number one recommendation,but let me know what you think.

Thanks.

I don't know if a complex image like that would work, you have to imagine many of them at 120px in a gallery. On my wiki I made a "minimal" image like this.

I like the third version. AsuraDrago 23:32, April 19, 2015 (UTC)

"We don't need a fancy image for this." Seriously. It's just supposed to be an image that says there is no picture available. That's it. SeaTerror (talk) 23:44, April 19, 2015 (UTC)

That might not work for the first alternative maybe,but the other versions would do the job just fine.I do think though that when minimized down to 120 px the text is still readable.

The text only image is a modest and simplistic choice and I don't have anything against it due to the fact that the main issue here is the font itself.However, a proper one piece related background complimenting the text isn't a bad idea and it might suit the wikia better. 00:28, April 20, 2015 (UTC)

No. Keep the old one. 02:06, April 20, 2015 (UTC)

There should be no distractions for this image. White background, and text. The only changes I would ever discuss would be changing the placement of the text in order to make it even larger. 05:07, April 20, 2015 (UTC)
