::Also, what would you think of a template that makes it easier to link to Wikipedia, something like <code><nowiki>{{wp|Apple}}</nowiki></code>? It could be used in pages so we don't have to keep typing a link manually each time. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 10:18, 29 August 2014 (MDT)

:::There are arguments both ways for plural/singular, and as I said I have no preference so long as we're consistent and try to make a simple distinction between them. A Wikipedia-link template would be helpful for those rare times it's needed; keeping track of its use would be a good idea if it's implemented. --[[User:McClaw|McClaw]] ([[User talk:McClaw|talk]]) 09:38, 30 August 2014 (MDT)

GIF files support only 256 colors, don't support partial transparency, but are supported on almost any browser. APNG files support all colors and partial transparency, but aren't supported in Chrome, IE, or Safari 7 and older. MNG files aren't supported by anybody. Partial transparency lets us display images on any background, as shown to the right. What should we do? Should we keep trying to use GIF even with the loss of quality? --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 12:39, 29 November 2014 (MST)
