Template talk:ImageCaption

==I've deployed this template at Ordona (Spirit), Tingle Tuner and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker for now - I'd appreciate some oohing and ahhing (and hopefully an absence of "we already have a template for that!") before I use it any more. It's not a template that I anticipate being used terribly often, but occasionally there are situations where we have an image with a transparent background that requires a caption, and it seems a shame to put it in a frame and undermine all that lovely transparency. 12:11, 27 November 2009 (UTC)


 * While I agree, you can add "hover-over" message which gives a caption when your mouse is placed over the images. Personally, I find this template to make the page look more disorganized. 14:39, 27 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm also not completely convinced on this. While it's a nice idea, we need to consider the overall article style at the wiki. Although this isn't very well documented at the moment, we'll be fixing that soon. Then we'll need to have a discussion about whether something like this should be used and, if so, how. With templates, it's generally a better idea to discuss your proposal before creating it, since there can be other factors to be taken into consideration. 14:59, 27 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I look forward to the forthcoming style guide with baited breath. 17:13, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I kinda like it. The issue I foresee is if the article text crossed to the image caption, the reader could get disorientated. I'd suggest a frame around the caption tho; or maybe a snazzy font and font color (just thought of that). I've seen many cool pics reduced to thumbnails either just to get a caption in or bc of the editor not knowing all of their options. 00:05, 28 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree with Adam, it'd be too much of a hassle to convert all these images to sue this template, and furthermore the image frames already support a caption, so really this template just seems redundant. 19:09, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Deletion
OK, so I've moved this ahead to a full deletion discussion. We need to reach an agreement on whether this method of displaying images has a future at the wiki or now. I'm for deletion, and Steve seems to be too. I'm assuming Axiomist and Pete would rather keep it, in some form. So let's discuss this here and decide what to do. 18:02, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
