Well, that works, but I thought the only problem with the old one was the wonky Amazon look-up. We'd still have to acquire a lot of cover images. Otherwise I'd like to lose the black title banner.
It would also need an example: it took me a while to guess the form of the image description and I don't know if it can be captioned. --Old Dickens (talk) 00:50, 10 June 2013 (GMT)
- Ok, in response to the above:
- The amazon look-up is a good idea but when images are changed, moved or deleted from the source this ultimately affects what we see in the template so it does have a caveat. To be perfectly honest why are the cover images already uploaded to the site not being used to their full potential? I mention briefly here (at the bottom of the section) about the use of license templates, which don't seem to be implemented on this site at, well, not that I can see anyway.
- You mention in the 'picture rules' section that you got on fine using low-res images of book covers, so what changed exactly? Using low-res images, providing they are covered by an appropriate license is acceptable. If it so much of a concern has there been any action into asking for special permission from the Terry Pratchett website to use low-res cover images? A template can be used to specifically state permission was granted etc. etc. etc.
- Any other cover images not currently uploaded to the site can be done in the same manner.
- We can lose the black background of title banner (not remove the banner altogether) and keep it the same colour as the rest of the template.
- I will include a fully working example in my user sanbox at some point.
- Not quite sure what you mean by "it took me a while to guess the form of the image description", can you elaborate please?
- I haven't looked into captions for the cover image. I don't think it works so well with this type if image fill within the table. I can look into it but not sure of the outcome yet. --CelticWanderer talk | contribs | email 09:34, 10 June 2013 (GMT)
