Category talk:Screencaps

Implementing a new template

I've created {{screencap}} ^(Usage) to start a new convention of "image tagging", which is common across many wikis. Images currently in this category should probably be gone through and have their category tag removed, and replaced with {{screencap}} ^(Usage). While the template name is screencap, the category should probably be Screen captures. Subcategorisation is fine, but should also probably use "screen captures" as opposed to "screencaps". --Anonymax 12:15, 19 September 2011 (PDT)

Oh I forgot to mention - the new template allows for the source of a screen capture to be attached to the image, something which is semi-important in wikis. Similar to how we must reference our facts in articles, we must also state where an image has been sourced from. For now, we can simply link to the main article for video/website captures - rather than fiddle about with external URLs which have a habit of changing (e.g. when a video gets deleted). Instructions on how to associate a screen capture to an article can be found on the {{screencap}} ^(Usage) template page. --Anonymax 12:18, 19 September 2011 (PDT)
