Minecraft Wiki talk:Projects/Screenshot Fixing

So.. is this project actually fixing stuff? Or is it to develop a standards guideline? If it's a fixing project, you may want to get the guideline set up as an official policy/guideline first, or you are going to be doing this forever. -- Wynthyst  talk  23:44, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Well, go figure :P -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  00:29, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Copyright and Categorization
All screenshots should also be tagged with license Mojang and added to Category:Screenshots. Any additional image categories should also be added as appropriate (See the Minecraft Wiki:Projects/Categorization for the list of image categories). -- Wynthyst  talk  07:05, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Old screenshot display on page
I've uploaded some fixed screenshots( No GUI, no custom texture pack, etc) on the boosters page.

It's about a day ago and on the page I only see the old versions. When I click on them I see the new uploaded version.

Is this normal or is something wrong?

 * You need to purge your browser cache (Ctrl+F5). Also, if that doesn't work then the server's cache hasn't updated yet. I noticed you kept re-uploading the same image over and over, which just makes it worse. If after ~30 mins, when you clear your browser, it still doesn't update, then you should try uploading it again. – ultradude25 ( T at 00:44, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Also try refreshing the article. Edit it, don't change anything, and click "save" (this is called a null edit, and forces the server to re-render the page). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 02:18, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you! sorry for the reuploading, its my firt time to add something to the wiki.

I tryed clearing my cache but that did not work.

 * Clicking edit and save without changes worked. Thanks!

Replace screenshots with isometric renderings?
I think we should replace most of the screenshots on Minecart booster with clean isometric renderings, like File:Downhill rule.png. Ultradude25, which program do you use to create these renderings? --Barracuda 16:45, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Removal of Photo from Needed to be fixed list
I know, Long title. I am against this Photo; Wolfmp.jpg; because the POINT of the photo is to prove that wolves spawn in multiplayer. If you fix it, (To the Standards) It will remove the point of the photo. However, it needs to be changed to .png

Recap
sowait, here's the rules:

Press f1 when screenshotting

press f2 to screenshot

no texture packs

no mods

first person

right? --R ocĸetor talk  06:57, 9 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Basically, yes. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 21:01, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

There is a image on Tutorials/halfautomatically Booster-Stop point that uses a texture pack and needs to be fixed. Timberdoodle 20:00, 13 May 2011 (UTC) -Fixed, Candunc

Screenshots on talk pages/ user pages
Should we really standardise screenshots on talk pages and/ or user pages? They're there for someone to show off their creations (sort of privately), or to teach someone something, not officially part of the informative wikiDrKlozer 02:42, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Why isn't gui allowed?
I think that GUI on screenshots is usefull and should be allowed. Maybe it should be even required. Because gui is the only way to determine the version of minecraft on the screenshot. Without gui you can't tell if screenshot is outdated.DiEvAl 09:06, 16 June 2011 (UTC)


 * It takes up too much space and ruins the screenshot
 * You can only see the version if you have F3 on, which further blocks the screen – ultradude25 ( T at 11:24, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
