As some of you have noticed, I've recently gone through all the animals pages and added little images where they are appropriate, both in infoboxes and in the text of the article itself. I'd like to hear the community's feedback on the idea, and tell you guys what standards I've been sticking to so that if we decide to roll this out wiki-wide, then everyone knows how to do things. Here are my set of standards:


 * With a few exceptions (see below), every reference to the name of a specific item in-game gets a little image before or after (depending upon where it has been placed in the article)
 * Images in infoboxes go before the text, and without parenthesis
 * Images in the main body of the article go after their reference word, before any other text and/or punctuation, and have a set of parenthesis around it. You can see this on any of the animal pages.
 * Once an item has been mentioned in a paragraph, no more references to the name of that item get an image, just the first one.
 * References to two items that could be one or the other don't get an image, unless a gif already exists on the wiki (Apples ([[File:Apples.gif]]) vs. Boar Armour (since there are two kinds of Boar Armour).
 * Use the existing standards for images. These little icons are almost all 16px to start with. You don't really need to resize any images in the article unless it is a block icon (Hay Bale (Hay Bale.png), for example, requires a resizing tag, because the image is 256px and can't be any smaller in the database. I've been re-working filenames as I go, so many things should just be plug-and-play. I'm planning to rework the meat files sometime...

Let me know what you think in the comments, and please do look at at least one of the pages I did in that category, they do really look quite nice!

Thanks for reading!
