File talk:No Picture Available.png

New version
Can we change the picture? I think something like this is better:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e4/Comic_image_missing.svg/200px-Comic_image_missing.svg.png

(from http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Comic_image_missing.svg) Or at least a better quality file.


 * I don't think it's terribly important, so go for it. I doubt others will have objections.

Well ok, but it's not a good idea to directly upload this pic, we should upload a svg format in suare proportions (which have the characteristic of being very small but keep HQ with every dimension), so this it's a job for a bot. I'll upload the new version and if it's ok for everybody, we'll substitute it.


 * Why not just make a square png?

The current image is 120x120, I think it was intended to be used in the gallery templates, but it's also use in other places like the infoboxes and of course if you use it in un greater resolution the picture will got blurry and ugly. We can upload it with a higher resolution, but there is a problem: in most of the gallery templates the dimension it's not set, so if you increase the dimensions will mess up the galleries, you have to (with a bot) add the "120px" parameter. So if we have to do that job anyway, then let's change it with a svg file. A Scalable Vector Graphics (svg) is strongly recommended, because it has a very small size (usually less then 2-3 bytes) and you can have an HQ image whatever resolution you choose. Some examples:

A good png at high resolution (but even for 400px+) will be 200Kb or more. The svg are usually used for "system images" (since you can't convert a screenshot in svg for example), so I strongly suggest to convert in svg all the files in Category:One Piece Media that can be converted.

I suggest to replace this file with this one:

See this forum too. I uploaded the file with a better quality one, let's see if we can keep this one. To change style or other suggestions, contact me.


 * Is Comic Sans really necessary? Just sayin'…

Well they are just three words... if you have other suggestions tell me and I can make other examples.
