Forum:Part I / Part II images

So I was having a think about the lack of using Part II images to represent characters. I am aware that there isn't much need in using a Shippuden image to represent certain characters since they are similar, but since we have the ability to tabulate the images in the infobox, why can't we add two images for each character if they have two different appearance looks in the series ? For example, Kabuto is the same up until he absorb Orochimaru, so both the "Normal" and "Orochi-absorption" images could be shown in the infobox. Plus, from time to time, someone always comes along and complains that we're not using images from both series. Discuss below. --Speysider Talk Page 18:38, August 10, 2013 (UTC)

I like the idea. A Part I and Part II tab for character that have appeared in both isn't a bad idea at all. ~ Ten Tailed Fox 01:02, August 11, 2013 (UTC)

 * The idea isn't that bad, all we need is images with good quality, no black backgrounds and fit the characters perfectly without any contradictions between anime and manga depictions.  http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a553/anaspet06/Shakhmootssign_zps2a261e68.png  (Contact) 09:00, August 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree too -- ROOT 根 09:41, August 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * @Shakhmoot: There should be quite a few that hopefully can be used :)
 * Glad the idea is good! :) --Speysider Talk Page 09:50, August 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * I have a concern about this. First of all, Kabuto reverted to his normal self in the end, so that was only temporary. Second, if we do let this happen, I think it's only a matter of time before the infoboxes end up cluttered with numerous representations of characters through the franchise. We already use manga and anime ones for the characters whose anime depiction have some differences. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:16, August 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * Why would the infoboxes be "cluttered with numerous representations of characters" ? All we'd need to do is define in the policy that only two character images are permitted if the characters appears in both Part I and Part II. I can understand the reasoning behind the "only one image to be used" when the policy was made but since infoboxes can have tabbed images, I can't see any reason why not. Plus, people will just keep complaining about it. And as I said, it would only be for characters who actually appeared in both and had different appearances, so characters like Orochimaru, Tsunade and Jiraiya won't count because their appearance is the same throughout the series. Kabuto's was an example to better explain what I meant. --Speysider Talk Page 19:29, August 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * I believe Omnibender is concerned this will lead to a case where (for example) Obito has five images: young Obito, orange mask, purple mask, manga adult Obito because anime adult Obito got it wrong, anime adult Obito but with wrinkles in the wrong direction.
 * Maybe just a limit on the number of images per infobox, and then what those images are of is determined case by case. ~SnapperTo 00:09, August 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty certain the Infobox cannot hold that many images anyway or it would stretch right out of range, not even sure the tabulation allows more than two images anyway. Obito is a poor example, since he already has two images. And wouldn't need further. Naruto could be a good example, as is Sakura and Sasuke who have changed significantly between the time skip. However, i do agree on the discussion if there are many images available. --Speysider Talk Page 01:18 August 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * Handles five without adverse effects. ~SnapperTo 00:29, August 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * I can understand the concern but... we're just suggesting Part I and Part II images. Meaning if the character appeared in Part I and Part II, we'd place the generalized image of them in Part I in the infobox and a generalized image of them in Part II for the infobox. In the case of Obito, he appears in a flashback in Part I as a child, and then, we can put up an anime version of him unmasked when it debuts (unless someone is absolutely anal about using a masked picture, and then we'll use that instead). Either way, we never put transformations (like Obito's Jinchūriki state) in the infobox, and there would still be a great number of characters with only one image in theirs, and those that do appear in both would only have two. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Yamagakure Symbol.svg 00:43, August 12, 2013 (UTC)

The One piece wiki has pre and post time skip pictures as well as anime and manga ones in the info box and it is far from cluttered.--Kotoamatsukami (talk) 01:07, August 12, 2013 (UTC)


 * But we're not One Piece Wiki, nor do we want that many infobox images. Simply a Part I and Part II image would suffice. The rest of the differences can be noted in the Appearance section. That's what its for. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Yamagakure Symbol.svg 01:35, August 12, 2013 (UTC)
