why are some of the files jpg's and some pngs?Proverbs 22:9 Elementus Green 18:37, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

PNG's are only for the 3D images and the reason that they are png is because png can have a transparent (or clear) background. So, instead of having a white background on the image, it is clear. AIOCREFan 18:44, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
Isn't it best practice to have them all be pngs? Is there a compelling reason to use jpgs instead? (other than you don't have to convert them.) not that it really matters, just a tiny detail that bothered me. Proverbs 22:9 Elementus Green 19:51, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
One of the administrators probably could answer your question better than I can, but I'll try. I think (I don't know for sure) that png's have extra unneeded information that isn't necessary for album covers. Ex. If there is or isn't transparency and if there is where...ect., which causes png's to load slower. Again, I am not sure if that is correct. AIOCREFan 20:04, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Jpg's and Gif's

There are some backs of albums like Album 36 that show there is not one loaded because it is jpg. Instead of moving the file I just changed it on here from .jpg to .gif. Is there anything wrong with that? Please tell me and change it! Thanks!Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 06:28, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Done

Check.svg Done Finally all images that are available are on the album pages. We still need some images so please try to locate them so they can be added. Thanks! Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 04:35, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

However, we still need to go through and delete all of the redirects. All of these files should be actual files, even if some are duplicates. Erwin Springer [talk] 15:14, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
I'm trying to work on it as I have marked most of the duplicates for deletion. Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 21:10, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

20th anniversary artwork

Just a reminder, the 20th anniversary artwork will need to be incorporated in for albums 47-50. Gooey98 ~ (talk) 18:02, 12 April 2012 (MDT)
