Knecker images

Hello all,

With the necker images, could we possibly upload them with better titles? (It'll also help us move up Google searches!). I'm thinking either something like Red and Blue striped Knecker, or, even better, xxx Scout Troop's Knecker!

Thanks,

Hello BG7,

I don't think it is a good idea, because that way anybody can see and use the necker as well. If a French renames its necker "foulard_bleu_et_blanc.svg", you won't understand what it means, and it will be worst if an Italian names it "Sciarpa della Bologna 3 AGESCI.svg" … And if that's the same colors as your own neckerchief, you won't like it to be named after this Italian troop. So if we keep with colors it's OK for everybody.

Keeping the NeckGen's names allows you to keep from uploading twice the same necker, too. Akela -Haooow ! 21:03, 2 April 2008 (EEST)

Hmm... i'm not convinced. Surely it wouldn't matter if it was uploaded twice? We could always perform a merge and rename to a generic one.

If someone is going to Google search a specific knecker, they're not going to use HEX colours, they'll use the names. Also, what about users who come here looking for their knecker, but have no idea about the codes - they're not all computer people!

Permission to show you what I mean, and if it gets screwed up, i'll revert?

Thanks,

I believe we have a way around it. Thankyou. Bluegoblin7 16:22, 1 June 2008 (EEST)

Template:Info in Special:Upload

How have you inserted the template:Info in Special:Upload in toolbox? I'd like to insert it in it.scoutwiki because no one insert copyright of the images. So, uploading automatically this template they maybe insert it :) --Mikethekinslayer 18:36, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Take a look at MediaWiki:Sidebar --egel 19:21, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, but there is a second "Upload a file" in the box under the research one. How have you inserted the template:Info there? --Mikethekinslayer 16:21, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Reformation for Best image

Instead of creating new pages, why don't we use a template such as:

{{#switch:{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}
|January = [[Image:IMAGE.IMG|thumb|{{{description|DESCR}}}]]
|February = [[Image:IMAGE.IMG|thumb|{{{description|DESCR}}}]]
|March = [[Image:IMAGE.IMG|thumb|{{{description|DESCR}}}]]
|April = [[Image:IMAGE.IMG|thumb|{{{description|DESCR}}}]]
|May = [[Image:IMAGE.IMG|thumb|{{{description|DESCR}}}]]
|June = [[Image:IMAGE.IMG|thumb|{{{description|DESCR}}}]]
|July = [[Image:IMAGE.IMG|thumb|{{{description|DESCR}}}]]
|August = [[Image:IMAGE.IMG|thumb|{{{description|DESCR}}}]]
|September = [[Image:IMAGE.IMG|thumb|{{{description|DESCR}}}]]
|October = [[Image:IMAGE.IMG|thumb|{{{description|DESCR}}}]]
|November = [[Image:IMAGE.IMG|thumb|{{{description|DESCR}}}]]
|December = [[Image:IMAGE.IMG|thumb|{{{description|DESCR}}}]]
}}

Every year the template will be changed and in discussion page there will by a cron of the image displayed. --Mikethekinslayer 13:46, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
