Forum:Discussion - image stub on unreleased episodes

Really now?
Two admins edit warring? Really now? One of you couldn't have just brought it up on a talk page or something?

Anyway... The poicy we seem to have had lately is to keep the stub template on any episode pages for unreleased episodes, since the information is obviously incomplete anyway.

And reguarding the images, or lack of them rather, yes, the Image template belongs on pages that don't have images. It even adds the "Article without images" category so that the page can be found. That's why the template is on the unreleased episode pages. Now can we stop with the edit warring?

Do either of you think we need a policy change about those templates?

Maybe put something about it on the forums? --  Legendary  Dark   Knight  03:17, May 11, 2012 (UTC)

This isn't the only place this has happened I've tried to talk with him about it on his talk page and elsewhere but he doesn't want to respond, Tav says to take it to the Maintenance Admins since it is an issue of misusing those banners and therefore spam.

The policy we have is that articles that actually are stubs get the stub template and that articles that actually have images get the image template, this is the policy that just about every wikia has too. 11:49, May 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * But... the image template adds the category "Articles without images..." Doesn't it? -- [[File:Mew.gif]] Legendary  Dark   Knight [[File:Latias.gif]] 13:10, May 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * It does, and that category is there so that people can find articles that need images to be uploaded, but if there are no images to be uploaded then it spams that category. Do you think Xanoids needs to be in that category? 13:14, May 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * I see your point... And I guess it's inevitable for images to be added to episode pages anyway, isn't it? I think I may have misinterpreted what you mean by have images until just now. I'm now assuming you mean pages where it is actually possible to get images as of the time of placement, correct? -- [[File:Mew.gif]] Legendary  Dark   Knight [[File:Latias.gif]]  13:19, May 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well yes... and I meant that same thing when I said it for stubs. 13:55, May 11, 2012 (UTC)

Hello,

I had no idea why felinoel contacted me about this at first, as I was following the position as a maintenance admin. I have no high authority on setting what is the final say. Unless the current sysops would like me to.

I can agree and vote that image stub on unreleased episodes is unnecessary. Only way to get the images if they are released weeks ahead of a planned episode. Even then, there are editors with enough sense to upload something that relates to the article. -- Bunai82 (talk) 14:49, May 17, 2012 (UTC)
