Unified design[edit]
@Sebastian Wallroth: Concerning this edit, which I reverted, it’s nice to have unified design, but other things may be more important. In this case, the two illustrations, instead of just one, are not just an esthetical option: We need two illustrations to illustate the two types of anamorphic distortion this template is meant to signal: horizontal and vertical, or stretching and squeezing. Please find a way to unify design without loss of content. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 16:21, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- And, very importantly, the text of the template itself includes references to both illustrations, left and right, which become nonsensical after you remopval of one of them. Please be careful. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 16:23, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Tuvalkin, but what do we do when we will have more (like four) use cases? I see the the photos as a general example, not a depiction for every use case. The usage notes are part of the documentation right? --Sebastian Wallroth (talk) 09:11, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- There are only two use cases for anamorphic distortion — horizontal and vertical. That’s because images are bidimensional. And, yes, I think those two illustrations are important to illustrate the issue.
- The documentation you mention seems to be mostly Visual Edit nonsense nobody needs: The matter is not how to use the template, that’s trivial. The matter is to make it simplest for image editors to understand at a glance what kind of cleanup the flagged images need. That’s better served with one illustration for each of the two possible cases of anamorphic distortion.
- If you’d be happier with a single image, at the right, illustrating both cases, then go ahead, create it and implement it, and make sure you correct the arrows referencing the illustrations are now pointing to their modified positions (in all languages, of course). I really think that achieving maximum standartization in the looks of all templates is a minor concern, which should never supercede clarity — which was what you did. Please don’t do it again.
