I love what you did with the floating images, looks a heck better, I'm in favor...[[User:BassNettoHikari2|BassNettoHikari2]]...[[User talk:BassNettoHikari2|Chat Page]]... 18:41, November 22, 2010 (UTC)
:I'm really hating picture attribution as well. Even the terms they use are confusing. When I see "added by", I don't think "uploaded by", I think "added to this article by". Regardless of that, it's just altogether pointless and really messes up the flow of the articles. I think the floating images look fine, it's a bit annoying not to have the captions, but still better than having the attribution. If we go with galleries, we could eschew putting pictures in most of the articles, and just have a separate "gallery" section with the pics.

::It is possible to change "[[MediaWiki:oasis-content-picture-added-by|added by ''user name'']]" to something else like "uploaded by ''user name''". Although removing the ''user name'' part is probably not allowed. -- [[User:Deltaneos|Deltaneos]] ([[User talk:Deltaneos|talk]]) 15:11, November 27, 2010 (UTC)
 
::I'm not too keen on the idea of a single gallery for all the article images. I've seen it on some video games articles, where people just post any images they can find, resulting a bunch of random screenshots and V Jump scans shoved together. I think it's better to keep the images near what they are describing. Wikipedia and some other wikis [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Image use policy#Image galleries|discourage]] galleries for an article's subject in general, suggesting the images either be removed or integrated into the article. -- [[User:Deltaneos|Deltaneos]] ([[User talk:Deltaneos|talk]]) 15:41, November 27, 2010 (UTC)
 
This is probably all unnecessary now. Wikia's have made their rules [[w:User blog:Sannse/December New Look Update|more lenient]]. We're now allowed to disable picture attribution. We should probably start a separate discussion soon on whether we should disable it or not. -- [[User:Deltaneos|Deltaneos]] ([[User talk:Deltaneos|talk]]) 21:27, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 
:Am I missing out on something here? It's probably because I'm using MonoBook, but I don't see the image attribution, unless it's already been disabled for days without me knowing.

::I don't think image attribution was ever enabled on Monobook (which I've been using since a little before Monaco was removed), but I may have hidden it in my monobook.css at some point as well. <span style="white-space:nowrap;">「[[User:Dinoguy1000|<span style="color:#00f;">ダイノ</span><span style="color:#080;">ガイ</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Dinoguy1000|<span style="color:#F90;">千?!</span>]]」<sup>[[wikipedia:Help:IJP|?]] · [[User talk:Dinoguy1000#top|Talk⇒Dinoguy1000]]</sup></span> 02:04, December 12, 2010 (UTC)
