Hey Thebruce, why are you creating separate articles for the images? You know that you can post info on the image pages themselves (ex: on http://halo.wikibruce.com/Image:Slide_Ref070107.jpg).

| + | yes, but it accomplishes two things: 1) reduces the load on parsing the pages (especially the Outline page) and 2) allows additional related information to be included along with the image. LInking straight to the :Image:XXX page only displays the image with limited description. Displaying the thumbnail does the same. Linking to the page itself (or using the thumbnail when necessary) allows all that information to be located in an easily referrable location. And for images, the full image can still be displayed as if viewing the Image:XXX page. | ||
