Commons talk:Picture of the Year/2018/Committee
Let's get the ball rolling
[edit]@Steinsplitter, FDMS4, Ham II, Christian Ferrer, and Moheen Reeyad: @-revi and Miya: I have (hopefully) set up the majority of pages needed for POTY R1, except the voting pages. Could you add yourself to Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2018/Committee/User if you are interested in returning to our awesome the committee this year? Also, do you think we should have any category changes, rule changes, or other big changes for this year? We also gotta categorize these R1 candidates, which I did a first pass with some automation, and... when do we want R1 & R2 to start and end? Let's try not to wait till May ;) --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 11:19, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
- I will help to categorize the R1 candidates. I don't remember any special issues with the categories last year. What is the minimum delayfor the banner? Christian Ferrer (talk) 11:55, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
- Like... a month? I think meta admins like steiny and revi can clarify. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 12:00, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
- Bare minimum is 7 days IIRC. We basically need ourselves listed on the calendar, I guess. — regards, Revi 02:27, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
- I went ahead and filed the request --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 05:57, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

- if so, then we can make the request for the first round from 2019-02-03 to 2019-02-17, and from 2019-03-03 to 2019-03-17 fro the second round? Christian Ferrer (talk) 12:20, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
- LGTM. I'd wait for more opinions though --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 14:00, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
- For the time, still 15 UTC to 23:59 UTC? --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 06:00, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- ok 11:38, 9 January 2019 (UTC)Christian Ferrer (talk)
- I have sorted all the images from the unsorted section, however some checks and adjustments made by several other users will be welcome. Christian Ferrer (talk) 13:22, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
- File:Sunny_green_paddy_fields_with_water_reflection.jpg This one is paddy fields, so I don't think it's really 'nature', but I can't think of one that's better. Keep it here? --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 14:00, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
- stricto sensu no, vaguely yes. The other choice is "plants" Christian Ferrer (talk) 14:08, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Share link styling
[edit]Hello all (@Zhuyifei1999, Christian Ferrer, -revi, Steinsplitter, and Moheen: )
I'd like to recommend a change for the styling and markup for the share links under the Picture of the Year on the results page.
Curently they are rendering as: SHARE: FACEBOOK TWITTER E-MAIL.
This styling can be confusing because red coloured links are usually for pages that do not exist, for example: Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2018/Results vs Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2042/Results.
Please consider changing to something like: SHARE: Facebook / Twitter / Email
The social media icons are easily recognizable and the link styling and colour is consistent with the rest of the page.
Thank you for reading. // sikander { talk } 🦖 16:26, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
- The thing with the icons (if "|link=]]" used)seems fine to me. --Steinsplitter (talk) 16:28, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
- I also prefer non-red links, no preference about others. FYI: pings failed --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 17:11, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
- I also agree that the version suggested by Sikander is much more readable. --jdx Re: 19:19, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
- +1 It is much more readable. per Zhuyifei1999: pings failed. Christian Ferrer (talk) 21:13, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
I've gone ahead and did the change. Seems like we're in agreement that this is an improvement :) --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 16:40, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
