antp

Antp is there any way to encourage contributors to add the old main image as a thumbnail when they drastically change the main image?

I am trying to help validate for night cub and walter and I have run into this in both movies I validated.

I wasn’t sure if there was a warning or possibly some alert when changing the main image to a totally different frame?

There is already a note about that.
And the more notes I put the higher is the risk of not reading notes :grin:

If we make the remark to a user, he should understand and do it the next time, no?
I can't detect if the image is drastically different or not (well there are probably ways to do that, I don't know what would be the cost for that and the time needed though).

edit: the note says:

When replacing an existing picture, the new picture must usually be the same scene in an higher quality, except if there is a really better view of the new vehicle. For providing additional images, please rather post them in the comments.

I'll add a precision about putting the old one in comments, but as I said it is something we can say to the contributors: normally those who replace pictures are more used to imcdb than the average new users.

edit2: the new note is:

When replacing an existing picture, the new picture must usually be the same scene in an higher quality, except if there is a really better view of the new vehicle. In this latter case, please include the old main picture (or a new capture of the same scene) in the comments for history/reference, so admins can directly validate the new one.
