![]() Therefore I'd like to request movefile permission so that I don't have to manually mark for deletion all of the pictures I'm going to make obsolete and give you and ZeroOne more work. My other issue is related to the Template:PageIcon5 template I created to add pictures to the lists of Civilization 5 (See List_of_buildings_in_Civ5 for an example). That template checks if a properly named image exists for a page and adds it to the link to that page if it does. It makes use of #ifexist, an expensive parser function call, which limits the use of my template to 100 per page. There's several ways to fix this one issue : Unfortunately List_of_units_in_Civ5 requires 122 uses of that template. The limit could be raised to something like 150.I could revert my changes and modify my template to not check if the picture exists (Making it much less flexible) and wait until I've uploaded all 122 pictures to add it again.Or finally, typing this made me realize that maybe adding 122 pictures to a clean text page for the sake of making it nice to look at might be a bit excessive.The end result would look absolutely great and I'm ready to go through with it but what if it's just a bad idea? I'd like your input on that if possible. Sounds impressive to me but I've no idea how the images should look. And maybe you indeed don't want 122 pictures on a page. They could be OK if the list had some groupings on subpages using : air units, naval units, civil units, great people, etc - and we probably want pages for each such group anyway, don't we? (I wonder whether the "poor" pictures could be used as thumbnails somewhere where their quality's less important?) - Robin Patterson ( Talk) 11:32, Janu(UTC) Thanks for answering. Creating sub-pages for lists sounds like a great plan as it'll help reduce redundancy in the wiki. I wonder if transcluding gets around the #ifexist limit. ![]() As for pictures the main offenders are the ones that have no transparency (So the picture sits in the middle of a black block) as they really should not be used anywhere. Some of the others are good enough and only need to be renamed to the correct name. ![]() Keeping lower resolution pictures around is thankfully not necessary as Wikia will automatically generate lower sized pictures on demand with the width argument, making the same picture suitable for the main page as well as an icon on other pages.
