*Would all the images in [[:Category:Congratulations screens (SSBM)]] be cropped? They were originally uploaded as low quality JPEG screenshots, and were replaced by manually converting the original, quasi-JPEG files found in the ''Melee'' disk. However, they all have black borders as part of the image data. As to not upload 75+ JPEG-artifacted PNGs to replace them, they were uploaded as is. Consequently, editing them is not feasible without worsening the quality further. Should they be edited? And if so, how should they be reuploaded? | *Would all the images in [[:Category:Congratulations screens (SSBM)]] be cropped?

*What should be done about the images in [[:Category:Congratulations screens (SSB4-3DS)]]? I'm assuming the images contain the golden borders themselves like the ''Melee'' screens. Regardless, unlike the other two categories, these all have an image border rather than a plain black one. Would they be treated any differently from images with plain borders?

:*Ah Brandondorf, hard to tell in that case if the people weren't just reverting him because it was Brandondorf (who was infamous at the time for fucking with screenshots on the wiki by editing them far more than just removing borders, such as messing with their saturation or blowing up their size as a substitute for "higher resolution"), while I'm also sensing PSIWolf was being overprotective of "his" image (while his friends then joined in to "defend" it from Brandondorf). The people reverting Brandondorf are claiming the borders a part of the scene, but taking a look on youtube, I'm seeing videos of the cutscenes without any borders, so I don't know if it was just those users' emulator settings rather than the picture of Brawl's video files actually inherently having the borders. In any case though, I would prefer new, higher resolution screenshots taken that don't have the borders to begin with if possible (the linked Wolf cutscene example isn't even 480p), rather than just cropping the old screenshots. | |||
:*Converting a JPG to a PNG shouldn't worsen the quality as long as the right settings are used, like I just took one of those images and [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/623510042808680473/1086544473758105701/BowserAdventureMode.png converted it to a PNG], while there was then absolutely no discernible degradation in quality post-conversion compared to the original JPG. Also for this case, I see the appeal of using the direct data asset to show the congratulations screens... but we could also just take higher resolution screenshots that ultimately showoff the images better. For one more thing, I took a look at the source for one of the original screenshots that didn't have the black borders, and it was from [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/0222/omake.html the official site itself], that seems to be an admittance that the borders weren't any sort of "developer's intent" or anything like that. So in this case, I would again say to preferably not have the borders in these images. | |||
:*I would say this is a definite different case, as such borders were deliberately put there by the devs as part of the presentation rather than just being blank space to fill an aspect ratio that may or may not be visible depending on how the game is actually viewed, and when [https://youtu.be/xvPg9PzDHrg?t=721 looking at it ingame], you can clearly see how the gold border is a part of the image by how it moves up with the screenshot as the credits go on. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[File: TyranitarMS.png ]] 03:25, March 18, 2023 (EDT) | |||
