I think we need a standard background. Some are solid-color, others are gradients. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 22:31, 18 October 2013 (MDT)

:Agreed, but what? Some result from where/how the image is captured, others are the result of editing to remove surrounding clutter. --[[User:McClaw|McClaw]] ([[User talk:McClaw|talk]]) 09:31, 19 October 2013 (MDT)

::Perhaps transparency, or that blue-yellow gradient that we have on most of them. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 11:08, 19 October 2013 (MDT)
:::Wouldn't transparency just make for white backgrounds? For the "gradient" ones I've done, it was based on a capture of blank, bright sky. But we'll still want some exceptions for visibility or contrast. --[[User:McClaw|McClaw]] ([[User talk:McClaw|talk]]) 12:31, 19 October 2013 (MDT)
::::I think [[:File:Air.png|this]] should work okay with most items. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 12:46, 19 October 2013 (MDT)
:::::It could also serve as a depiction image for "air." --[[User:McClaw|McClaw]] ([[User talk:McClaw|talk]]) 19:00, 19 October 2013 (MDT)
==Not sure if this goes here?==
Hey guys, I'm kinda new to the wiki, I hope I become active here and help with it's developement, so I'll try :) I've checked this out, seems that McClaw, Abcboy, Cddrs and MintYogi are the main people here.

:Yeah, we're the admins. Just remember to look at how things work before you jump in. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 20:02, 19 October 2013 (MDT)
== Style guidelines ==
I've crossed out the rules [[Help:Contents#Style Guidelines|here]] that appear to not be followed much. My arguments:
* Captions aren't titles. Often they are sentences, and if not, will generally look weird capitalized.
* Some pages, like [[weather]], would have images stretching past the end of the page if all of the images are 300px wide.
* No page at the moment has an image centered on the page at the end of a paragraph illustrating a specific point from the preceding paragraph. Zero.
* Generally, as this isn't a game with a plot or any unexpected plot twists, spoilers aren't used very often. Should I put a spoiler on [[Cave]] to hide cave trolls? There are too many pages where this might be required and used in odd ways.
