The images

Yeah, didn't realize that. We used to have users going around and creating their own sprites from those screenshots if you've seen the edit history. I don't see the need to scale the images, though since they're already rescaled in their pages. I suppose it won't be that different when the rip comes, but I don't think it's imperative to scale them. As for Frog Mario, I'd just crop it rather than scale AND crop it. It's me, Mario!

I just took the image directly from the source and merely cropped it. I suppose it probably does look better at the moment, so yeah, you can revert the images if you want. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 01:47, 7 December 2015 (EST)

Re: Reissue

Hey! Thanks for the feedback!

It was decided on the forums to move the Remake article to Reissue. The reason for this change was that remake is one of the most misused words on the wiki: it is too specific a term and does not account for re-releases, retools, ports and the likes. "reissue" is an umbrella term, which encompasses all of that.

Since the article was renamed, it was only logical that the category followed suit.

So that's the reason for the move. If you can find a term (or two) that can replace "reissue", I'd be glad to hear it.

Also note that I'm rewriting said article here. I've gotten rid of the different categories of reissues. Instead, it's in chronological order, and each section will explain what changed.

Tagged Images

I am tagging images like File:Ss lozalttf.gif for a reason. PNG is better because it has a lot of advantages over GIF or JPEG. PNGs can be compressed quite a bit more. They also allow for 24-bit true color (16,777,216-color) rather than 256-color. I have noticed that the 256 color pallet is insufficient with some SNES images (colors are a bit off) as the SNES can produce 32768 different colors. The only advantage that GIF has is animations and widespread adoption on the internet but that will likely be superseded by APNG (still in alpha and not widely adopted or supported). --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) 19:21, 3 January 2016 (EST)
