  • Create a wiki page listing all the "howto:x" articles with a specific section for source specific guides

I am drafting such a page now and will publish it if this is not controversial.

Regarding smpte color bars, I'm not sure why we need a tag for the SMPTE pattern in particular. For North American and Japanese television viewers, that pattern is pretty much synonymous with test card to begin with. Maybe if we see some uploads featuring other test patterns like PM5544, this will be worth rethinking, but for now I don't see the point of maintaining a tag that for all intents and purposes is the same thing as test card.

As for color bars, we're using it for two completely different things: color blocks used in printing (post #440097), and television test patterns (post #2750738). Both functions are already served by other tags, namely, test card and color guide. Given that it's both redundant and highly ambiguous, this tag should probably just be merged into the other two and the relevant info migrated from its wiki.

Could we clarify the definition of midriff a little better? From its current wording:

Use this tag when there are clothes above ... and below... Don't use this tag if the character is ... wearing only underwear or a bikini.

  • It isn't made entirely clear what is meant by "clothes" in this context. Do sports bras count? They are worn like outerwear, but then again, so are bikinis.
  • The "only" suggests that the tag may still be used as long as either a shirt or skirt/pants/shorts are being worn, regardless of what they are paired with.

Based on this, it seems like it would be acceptable to tag the midriff on images like post #2780981 (bikini top + shorts) or post #2510622 (shirt + panties) but not on post #2762297 (bikini alone) or post #2614821 (underwear alone). Is this intentional, or do we really mean that the tag is meant for "complete" midriff-baring top and bottom ensembles?

I went ahead and replaced the purging and reuploading in the corrupted_image wiki with a reference to topic #14156.

Alrighty, :thumbsup:

On other notes, I've recently received a suggestion from a user to consider perhaps providing imgur albums to serve as helpful tutorials and visual aids for how to upload from all of the various upload sites listed in howto:upload/topic #14119. I'm not sure when I'll get to it, but if someone is good at making those sorts of things, I would appreciate the help.
