Concerning with recent image reversions...

Just popping in to put some two cents on two points brought up here, that I've been thinking on myself. I sometimes check the wiki while I'm at work, so if I come across images where the characters are "nude" and another co-worker comes behind me, things can get difficult. It isn't just a matter of age, but a matter of decency. While I was in high school I checked the wiki during dead periods to do research or to look up information on items and if I were to be caught with a character naked on the screen then there could be trouble. Yes, there are younger kids who play and (I could be wrong here) but if a child has permission from their parents I believe children under 13 are still able to play mabi (however I'm not sure and could easily be wrong here).

The second point I have an issue with is the "super zoom" which has suddenly become a massive reason for some revisions and edits on the wiki. I just find it strange that an image that was considered perfectly fine before can be replaced by an image with maybe 10 to 20 pixels added in height or width. I do understand some of them have provided more details but... in come cases it hardly any difference and there isn't enough of a difference to have even warranted a change other than "I feel like this should be 1.1x as big". I've seen a lot of revision wars and revision topics on talk pages and it has become a huge pet peeve of mine when I see it as the ONLY reason for these revisions. At some point I almost feel it would drive people to try and "out zoom" each other, which would only end up with gigantic files on the server showing details that... you wouldn't even notice unless you put your face against the screen. Honestly, with most equips the standard "close up" with slight adjustment though the use of fixed camera movement is enough to see the details.

To sight two examples of zoom reverts that I could find off hand... http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/index.php?title=File:Pop_Star_Bracelet_Equipped_Front.png This one was obviously needed as the previous image was not too detailed... however... http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/index.php?title=File:Yukata_Mini_Hair_Ornament_%28F%29_Equipped_Front.png This is how zoom wars are going to start, if they haven't already. Even if it is "higher res", the zoom shows less of the item when you consider the 3D modeling style Mabinogi uses. After a certain point, you're just getting bigger and blurrier pixels along with larger file sizes for the wiki!

Thank god I'm not the only one who thinks so.
