Because FandomDesktop has now replaced Oasis as the default skin, we should update our policies accordingly.

Wookieepedia:Manual of Style#Skin:

  • Wookieepedia articles are to be formatted for ideal presentation in the Fandom skin, also known as Oasis. This is in particular regard to paragraph size and image placement.

I propose the following change:

  • Wookieepedia articles are to be formatted for ideal presentation in the default FandomDesktop skin (standard width, right rail shown). This is in particular regard to paragraph size and image placement.

Wookieepedia:Layout Guide#Images and Wookieepedia:Layout Guide/Out-of-universe#Images

  • Images are to be formatted for ideal presentation in the Fandom skin, also known as Oasis.

I propose the following change:

  • Images are to be formatted for ideal presentation in the default FandomDesktop skin (standard width, right rail shown).

Discussion

  • Do we have guidance on what's ideal for that skin? —Minnabird Naboo (talk) 20:00, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
    • We mostly just have status article precedent for what looks good image thumbnail-wise and paragraph-and-section-and-subsection-size-wise. Imperators II(Talk) 20:02, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
      • I'd recommend adding guidance about FandomMobile as well. It's much more standardized, of course, since everything is centered on the screen, but you'd probably want to remain cognizant of paragraph spacing between images. As it stands this is only factoring in the desktop experience, which isn't the majority user experience (in the last 30 days: 63% mobile, 34% desktop, 3% tablet). This could be as simple as saying: "Wookieepedia articles are to be formatted for ideal presentation in the default FandomDesktop (standard width, right rail shown) and FandomMobile skins." and "Images are to be formatted for ideal presentation in the default FandomDesktop (standard width, right rail shown) and FandomMobile skins." - Brandon Rhea(talk)(he/him/his) 20:31, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
        • What is the "ideal presentation"? Does it refer to certain dimensions, what to do with backgrounds, etc.? (Basically, "ideal presentation" isn't actually defined.) Immi Thrax RainbowRebellion2 (talk) 20:54, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
          • While we could try and define that somewhat (i.e., it mostly refers to how image thumbnails shouldn't be too small and any single paragraph or section shouldn't be too long), the specifics should definitely be left to case-by-case decisions. Imperators II(Talk) 13:45, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
