Forum:Purpose of Image Tags and Characters in image templates ?

Apart from a couple of users who have used and, what is the real purpose of these tags? Hardly any uploaders these days use them, one or two users back in the day did use them but nobody really uses them. I'm voting for the removal of these templates that almost nobody actually adds. --Speysider Talk Page 16:28, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

You click them and they carry you to a list of images with these persons tagged in them.--Cerez 365 ™(talk) 16:36, July 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * And that's useful how ? You can just manually add the categories and I doubt anyone goes to those categories of "Images containing the character X" --Speysider Talk Page 16:39, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

Firstly, not because you believe something to have no use, means it necessarily has no use. Now, I've used that function in the past to find images of the said tagged persons to add to their articles. With some file names that do not have the person's own name in it, it's a convenient way to find older images. Kitsune added the tags to the image, and for all you know it served a purpose to that user but you removed it citing that you. It's not hurting anyone else to let them alone, so bear up your hatred of them.--Cerez 365 ™(talk) 18:09, July 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * * cough* I uploaded that image and I do not want those templates there because they are stupid and are not even required for uploads. Got a problem with that ? --Speysider Talk Page 18:11, July 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Very well you uploaded the image to the wiki, I'm not going to go over the whole, "no one owns the images here" bit with you. I've already explained the use of the feature, all I ask is that you respect the fact that while you may not use the function there are others that do or might do so in the future.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 18:23, July 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * Rather than being arrogant and "stuck-up", why don't you try answering the question I asked ? Yes, fine they link to a page with other images, but you could do that without templates whatsoever. And count to me the number of people who put those templates on images. You don't use them yourself, nor does any other person who uploads. One person adding the tags on one image I uploaded doesn't indicate people use them. In fact, even people like Droidkaju don't use them. You are obviously not going to listen a single f'ing word I post anywhere on this wiki because you won't stop your arrogance and I am getting tired of it. Why is it that every time you tell me not to jump down other people's throats, you do EXACTLY the same to everything I post on this wiki ? Why don't you do me and everyone else a favour and back off for once. This wiki was peaceful while you weren't uploading and editing, so why don't you just keep it that way, instead of showing how antagonistic you are to other editors when you don't agree with them ? --Speysider Talk Page 18:29, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

Please don't make me treat you both like children and forbid you two from talking to each other. Now, according based on tests I just ran, yes the image tag does indeed link to image catagories of the characters listed, so yes they do indeed serve a purpose. While it is odd to have mention of the characters twice, we got a link to the categories, they are legit, and completely useful templates. Hell they do us a great service they should probably be added to all current and future images.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 19:22, July 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * "Please don't make me treat you both like children and forbid you two from talking to each other."

Do it, I've had enough of the arguments Cerez causes with me. Every time I try to bring up discussion he creates a war out of it. Notice how the times Cerez is NOT here that everything is quiet and the minute he shows up, all hell breaks loose ?

And you can't just do manually without having to be lazy and using a template ? --Speysider Talk Page 20:11, July 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * So...why exactly should we do it manually, when we very well could just use the template which automatically sets it up o.O Why make the extra effort to do something when we already have something that does what we want? Templates exist so we don't have to do stuff. o.O
 * And you really don't want me to actually forbid you to do anything. Because my methods are more permanent, costly, and not fun. People need enemies. Peers keeps one in check and forces them to observe their own actions. I would be lost without ShounenSuki giving me hell away back when. (Titans I miss fighting with him every other week /cry).

Because nobody uses the templates ?

I don't want to talk to Cerez or have him talk to me in any form. Any time he gets involved, there is always arguments and admin involvement (*cough* you *cough*) because he doesn't know when to keep his nose out of things that don't concern him. Other editors believe him to be way too arrogant and overbearing and it's slightly annoying when a wiki has users like this. Again, have you noticed how, in the last 5 days, there has been no problems between me and Cerez because he wasn't here. The minute he shows up, the messages above occur. --Speysider Talk Page 20:26, July 8, 2012 (UTC)
