== Image Quality Templates ==
I am starting this discussion to gather opinions on whether or not the {<nowiki/>{[[Template:File-quality|Image-quality]]}} template should be split into separate templates like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Image_quality_templates Wikipedia] does. These separate templates would specify what exactly the problem is with a particular image, along with how to go about fixing it. Examples of what I mean can be seen [[User:AlexBot2004/Sandbox 3|here]]. Please comment leaving your opinion and vote {{Support}} or {{Oppose}} below.

:There are more than one ways for images to be improved, and while {<nowiki/>{[[Template:File-quality|Image-quality]]}} can accept a parameter detailing what should be done to the image (removing transparency, changing to a PNG, and so on), it would be better to have a template that can tell the reader what's the issue with the image. While [[Special:Diff/259249|Trig Jegman]]'s objection is understandable that it may be more difficult navigating categories, the trade-off would be worthwhile as editors targeting a certain category may focus on that category. While there are not many templates that I could imagine, [[Special:PermanentLink/259247|what OP has provided]] seems to be concise and can fit what we have in [[:Category:Files needing improvement|Category:Low quality images]]: lossy compression in [[:File:House of Phoebe NL.jpeg]], bad screenshot in [[:File:Isabelle-letter.jpg]], and low-resolution in [[:File:Blanca April Fools.png]].

:I think that it's important to provide different specifications for change, but I think that the templates should use the {{t|Notice Box}} format to be consistent with other site notices. Maybe a general image notice box can be created, and then depending on the parameters input it will generate different text/instructions. If the instructions are all markedly different or long then perhaps it is then worth it to start differentiating the templates, but I would still make use of {{t|Notice Box}}.

:Regarding difficulty in navigating the categories, all images that are included in the subcategories can also be included in the parent category [[:Category:Files needing improvement|Category:Low quality images]] for those who want to look at the images that need help at a glance, but giving the option for editors to focus on a particular subcategory if they wanted to.

== New leader? ==
 
 
 
From the looks of it, {{u|LoneShadowStar}} has completely left the site. As such, do you think a replacement for Project Images would be necessary? -- [[User:PanchamBro|PanchamBro]] ([[User talk:PanchamBro|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PanchamBro|contributions]]) 03:01, June 9, 2022 (EDT)
 
:Yep - given Lone hasn't edited for over two years, I've gone ahead and opened the project for a new leader, if anyone experienced is interested.

== Leader ==
 
{{Archive top|result={{u|Kalina70}} is the new leader of Project Images per voting results. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 03:45, June 27, 2022 (EDT)}}
 
I would like to help in this project and be a leader. I also plans to improve this project, such as: updating the project page, uploading requested/better quality photos, categorizing images, creating new categories for images and renaming images (If it is necessary). {{User:Kalina70/Sig}} 11:12, June 17, 2022 (CET)
 
:{{Support}} I think you would be a great leader for handling this project, since you've done a lot of good work with [[Nookipedia:Project Clean-Up|Project Clean-Up]], which involves similar work. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 03:54, June 18, 2022 (EDT)
 
:{{Support}}, per HylianAngel above. --<span class="jake-signature">[[User:Jake|<span class="jake-signature-name" style="font-family:Coustard,Verdana; color:#f73422; text-shadow: #e0e0e0 1px 1px 0;">Jake</span>]] [[User_talk:Jake|<span class="jake-signature-talk" style="font-family:Coustard,Verdana; color:#f75b22; text-shadow: #e0e0e0 1px 1px 0;">(talk)</span>]]</span> 16:49, June 18, 2022 (EDT)

== "Gameplay Screenshots of..." categories ==
 
 
 
The project page (''Purpose & Guidelines'' section) mentions a few categories starting with "Gameplay screenshots  of...":
 
<pre>Then, give it the additional category "Gameplay Screenshots of Villagers" or "Gameplay Screenshots of Special Characters", depending on the character.</pre>
 
However those categories were deleted. Are there any NH equivalents to the villager/special character categories? (I tried to find them in [[Help:Categories]] but to no success.)
 
 
 
In any case this section should probably be updated. [[File:Sit_Down_NH_Reaction_Icon.png|30px]] {{User:Xena/sig}} 18:27, September 27, 2023 (EDT)
 
:The page is severely outdated, so I would disregard it for now. I went ahead and fixed some of the category names on the project page just now though. There are similar categories at [[:Category:New Horizons villager screenshots]] and [[:Category:New Horizons event screenshots]], you can see the family of sub-categories at [[:Category:New Horizons screenshots]].

::Thank you! ^^ Hopefully this helps a few newcomers that were just as confused. {{User:Xena/sig}} 17:22, September 28, 2023 (EDT)
