thread_title: Table of Contents Breakage

message: There are now a quite enormous number of screenshots in this category. StuartBrady has done a splendid job in creating a few sub-categories (:Category:ZX Spectrum game screenshots, :Category:Commodore 64 game screenshots and :Category:Amstrad CPC game screenshots) and categorizing a large amount of screenshots. However, the screenshots also remain in the parent category.
Is it desireable to reduce the number of screenshots in this parent category? If so, should this be done on the form of :Template:Nintendo-screenshot (to ensure that the licensing text is appropriate)? Are there any BOTs to automate this process?

replies: text: I would think that it's a good idea to have more templates to reduce the number of images in the parent category, as long as the wording of the templates is copied from one of the existing templates.  If you can determine how to automate the process, you could try asking at Wikipedia:Bot requests.  JYolkowski // talk 23:51, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay. I'll do this, if there are no objections. The only question is, what should I call the new templates? --StuartBrady 02:11, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd proposed something in the line of :Template:ZX-Spectrum-game-screenshot and :Template:Amstrad-CPC-game-screenshot. It is fairly consistent with both the current template naming and corresponding category naming. --Frodet 12:28, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

text: I think I might know why — the other screenshots are sorted as "Image:PAGENAME". So the fix is either to add "Image:" to the template (which I don't recommend), or to make everything use the template. Perhaps MediaWiki really ought to do the Right Thing automatically, though. --StuartBrady 22:49, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

text: I've started making images use the new template. I've gone through the list alphabetically, and have got as far as "Spectrum Knight Tyme.png". --StuartBrady 23:35, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sub-categories? 

message: I notice that, while there are many categories for Nintendo screenshots, there don't seem to be any for Sega.  Is there a particular reason, or is it just that noone has gotten around to it? CountingPine 02:35, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No replies leads me to assume the latter case.  I'll see about setting some up. CountingPine 22:56, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm not an expert, but something like this will probably do.  If it had been a modern game I might have reduced the resolution to 300 to make it more fair-use, but with older games like that, where every pixel counts, I think the quality would suffer too much.
