Forum:Temporary forums/Overhauling image policies: Difference between revisions

My biggest bugbears as a reader of the wiki have been the insanely cropped close-up widescreen images, and the notion that every subject has to be facing left. I would say the "facing inwards/left" thing should still be a guideline but if there's a better image where the subject is facing a different direction, then that should be allowed and not instantly dismissed. An example of where these new changes would help is on [[Talk:Ian Chesterton#Infobox image|Ian Chesterton's page]]. There's an ongoing discussion about the best image to use, but curent guidelines are far too restrictive and result in us using (imo) a terrible image for him. If we could make it so images on't have to be cropped and zoomed into a face, and if there's at least an option to allow use of an image where the subject faces any direction, suddenly so many more image options become available for suggestion.
