The Style Guide says "Please do NOT upload an excessive number of images for your fleet. A typical page should not have more then ~20 images on it, thus a fleet should not have more then 20 images." Is this about not having more than 20 fleet-specific images and so not using up too much wiki storage space? There are pages in the wiki with more than 20 images: in a quick look I found mission page Picking the Bones with 33 images, category page Category:Star Trek: Picard with 47 images, and the Events page with many hundreds: 2-5 images per event, event image + event type image + up to 3 faction images.

Our fleet page currently has a small avatar image for all 40 member bios - these are the existing crew head images that are already part of the wiki, nothing we have uploaded, and some fleet members are quite attached to having them there. Our fleet page also has the event image for each event that we have fleet top scores for (but no event type or faction images). So more than 200 event images, but again these are the existing event images that are already part of the wiki, nothing we have uploaded. Having the event images to me makes it a much nicer-to-look-at table than just a huge table of text. We have a grand total of 4 fleet-specific images used on the page, and one of them is the same image/same file displayed in two different places, so for fleet-specific images we are well within the style guide. Only leaves the question Is our redisplay of images from elsewhere in the wiki a problem? The Master Fixx (talk) 13:54, 3 September 2023 (UTC)


A special Crew guideline would be terrific, I believe it hasn't been created or it eludes me. I see so many cards lately with Critical Bonus being put in the tables before Critical Rating and this is unintuitive.
