:::::::Except for high quality color photos, could GIF's (which are limited to 256 colors, but support transparency) be the right format? --[[User:GianniG46|GianniG46]] ([[User talk:GianniG46|talk]]) 08:40, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

::::::::Well, yes and no. It would render better than a png (I think), but there are still issues. If a reader were to click on the gif thumbnail, where would they go? To a little gif? To a large, but 256 color gif? This is also the issue with creating separate small thumbnail images. Click on the thumbnail and all you get is the thumbnail instead of a full sized image. We forget that thumbnails (whether in infoboxes or elsewhere) are just that... thumbnails to a full sized image. When we focus too much on trying to make the thumbnail pretty, we may end up defeating half the purpose of this encyclopedia... large and wonderful images. Using gifs I think would be ultimately not useful. And the only argument for PNG's that seems valid is the one Nagualdesign mentions above... put up with the crappy rendering and hope that some day the Wikisoftware can render them better. For me however, the best route today for photos and paintings is still the good old JPG. – [[User:Jbarta|JBarta]] ([[User talk:Jbarta#top|talk]]) 09:20, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
