:::I took a liking to WebP a year or two ago, after I noticed that lossless WebP exported by PaintNET, were still 15~20% smaller filesizes than OptiPNG; and I've also been in beefs with a fair few people on social media who strongly hated WebP for made-up reasons. So I had presumed ''"Okay, surely crops of screenshots can be in WebP?"'', but I give you technically right for using PNG for crops, since Elgato saves the whole-frame screenshots as PNG in the first place, so for those cases I agree to using PNG from now on.

Image optimization

Just as a heads up, the image use policy discourages reuploading images just to optimize them because it takes up additional space on the server. --Waluigi's head icon in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 19:23, April 6, 2024 (EDT)

Huh. Good to know. On other wikis, I had followed the logic of "The smaller the filesize is, the faster a wiki page would load", and I had utilised it with partial success on The Sims Wikia. But I do acknowledge that it'd be a problem on self-hosted wikis indeed, so I appreciate the tip. DandelionSprout (talk) 02:43, April 7, 2024 (EDT)
In the future, if possible, could you save your images (whether it's game capture screenshots and self-made infographics) as png or jpg rather than webp? They're much more preferable since they're more commonly used and universally supported. K.K. Slider costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 10:11, April 9, 2024 (EDT)
