Slideshows over basic lot template
I had a talk with someone who was opposed replacing these templates with a slideshow previews. My stance is that they would be a lot helpful for readers and intuitive than galleries for showcasing the content of lot from inside as well. This would be really useful, since such information is really lacking in this department and I think would be much better than creating additional articles devoting for individual premade house for elaborating on details with more images. My opponent said that using slideshows narrows the text greatly and severely, although I don't think it would do much harm from a quality standpoint as I reviewed this article by visualizing If changes were made. Idk, but what do guys think? For or against the changes? If so or so, explain why ? DrakonoSkerdikas (talk) 21:23, March 21, 2019 (UTC)
- I would like to see you explain why you think slideshows are better than galleries first. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 21:41, March 21, 2019 (UTC)
- For single articles, neither is greater or worse than the other. For the listing one, I envision galleries not working properly, as they're used once per article in a Heading 2 format. It was a genuine question of mine at start whether or not slideshow can be used, which then turn out to be a discussion with a person I was arguing with he. He implied that it would take a lot of space of the article for article, which I'm not really convince over his point as it barely noticeably takes a few centimeters, not an inch. I think better question why be oppose it, as I don't think readers will care much how they will view the pictures: either slideshow or gallery, they'll be clicking and navigation through arrow system anyways. Regardless, some way to showcase pictures of interiors I think is a must have for lots: these aren't game mechanics, qualities/biography of a Sim, or game description. These are architectual builts that need better visual representation. DrakonoSkerdikas (talk) 14:52, March 23, 2019 (UTC)
