Reasons why #2 is good:
;Appearance
*Easy on the eye: It is slim with smooth edges which makes it appear more plesant than standard brightly colored messages and square edges.
*The image has a 1:1 size ratio and is set at a 32px width which is the double of a file icon in older Windows versions. This also promotes being easy on the eye.
*Uses the wikipedia standard of a very light grey background color (#EEEEEE) which helps users to identify this as a wiki message.
*Uses small text so it can easily be dismissed by users who are already aware of the notification.
*Has a dynamic 60% width to accomodate most user screen resolutions.
*The image and the color of the border states the nature of the warning even for users who have not read the text.
*Retains individuality to The Sims Wiki by using an icon from the sims games and by using a unique shaped and colored border, which is different than standard wiki format.
*The seperation of the image, the text and the boldness of the title, caused by the table, helps the user to quickly identify the nature of the message.
;Practicality
*The light background color can hide some residual pixels from turning an image with a colored background into a gif or png with a transparent background.
*The relatively small (32px) width of the image helps not to distort ingame icons from the sims games, which can sometimes be hard to find in bigger resolutions.
*Easy customizeable features include the color of the border & background, the image and the title of the message, making this an easy-to-use template for a standardized collection of messages.

TLDR

TLDR

Files

Problem files

  • Generic cutesy images/smileys from the web. They're not fair use and they might be copyrighted. Ask user where they got it. Public Domain?
  • Images of real people. If they're not recognizeable celebs they may be the user himself or friends/family. Ask user to define license.
  • Non sim-related drawings, scans etc. Might be created by the user. Ask if they made it and to define license.
  • Non-sim unused user files not violating copyright. Delete them?
  • Images of unrecognizeable sims.
  • Images of premade sims after user gameplay.

Better search

  • Add 'tags' via categories 'Category:Tag fishing' or custom namespace 'Tag:Fishing'
  • Rename file names.
  • Popup image insert only searches filenames.
  • How to keep people from tagging normal pages? 'Category:Image Tag fishing' ???

Country userboxes
