KHWiki talk:Votes for featured media

Take me to your leader
Who is in charge of this? I am just asking, who changes it every month? Cause whoever it is, they are a bit late. Ultima The  High Seraph  21:20, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, it was late last month as well, shouldn't we have this done on the first day of the month? Guardian Soul 21:46, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

We should nominate somebody to be incharge of it. Ultima The  High Seraph  21:49, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm all for that. Guardian Soul 21:52, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

I've been doing it. I've just been a bit distracted, what with the new fiscal year and the troll and all that jazz. Thank you for reminding me, though. ^_^ BebopKate 05:37, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Make "Forms" its own category
Well, looking at the mirage arena, Forms fit under the characters section. Should we not be consistent?


 * Mirage arena came after Votes for Featured media. So we can change that if we have to. -- 03:36, September 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Much like the Mirage Arena, we allow for all editors to enjoy taking part in selecting the next Featured Media. Akin to the Mirage Arena is the fact that we want diversity in these selections. To force this, we make past categories ineligible for two months, and also "merge" some categories. For example, locations images are classified as world images. Also, all images of a form are directly images of the a character, and can be classified as such. Creating another category just for what I believe will be this one instance is not a reason to make such a hasty decision. Also, a form category would hardly have enough images in it to be classified as such. -- 03:48, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

Umm... what Doorsey said. ^_^


 * A simple "no" would be fine. But thanks anyway ^_~ -- 04:08, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

Audio Samples
As DTN pointed out this month, many readers may not be able to listen to audio files. Since it is bound to win this month, should the rules be changed in the future to combat this problem? Oh, and DTN, if you read the rules on top, the boxart is still disqualified, as it still falls under the other two categories, technically.
 * Again, no. "Boxart" is its own category under the Featured Media Gallery, which defines the categories that become ineligible and how images are classified. The BBSFM boxart is within the boundaries.
 * Other than that, I have never seen an audio clip featured on any wiki, the reason being that it is difficult for some viewers to enjoy it. The only solutions I can see are to eliminate audio clips altogether, with this month being an exception if so desired, or to set a limit on how many there can be each year. However, the latter will result in more audio clips being nominated and likely selected, which actually creates a larger issue. -- 00:10, December 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't most browsers link users to the page wherein they can download the right audio plugin?
 * I have the newest plugin installed in Firefox, but it won't work for me anyway. I only voted for the audio because I thought most other users could access it. -- 00:40, December 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Apparently not, Silva. And DTN, I thought that just because something was in one category didn't mean that it couldn't be included in several others.
