::Alright then. WEBP, I do not know much about that format, other than people hating it when they try to copy the image to their computers or phones. I don't know if it is lossy, loseless, or both. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 00:03, May 20, 2024 (EDT) | ::Alright then.

:::I have most certainly compared APNG vs. AWebP with the same footage, exported from VSDC editor. APNG: 18 MB. AWebP: 0.8 MB. The reasons people cite as to why they hate it, is an outright blatant lie spread by an anti-WebP cult measuring tens of millions of followers based on a decade-old myth, as nowadays all competent image viewers and editors, all browsers, all wikis, and all social media except Bluesky for some reason, have no problem at all with handling WebP.

::::If you are looking to use the copied picture for personal use, then yeah, there will be detractors that want PNG, JPEG, GIF, or other common formats, due to its widespread nature going over decades of support and compatibility compared to other image formats that have come and gone. However, if you are to use the image for web-based presentations (such as a Wiki) where copy-ability isn't the priority but rather presentability and low storage space requirements are, also having the software natively support the format, then yeah, WEBP is a good alternative. Newer technologies comes with benefits. I'm also sure that formats we enjoy today had growing pains when first introduced. WEBP may be no different in terms of file format history. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 18:45, May 20, 2024 (EDT) | |||

... or will this fry | ... or will this fry readers' machines? I need to know for [[User:Koopa con Carne/MKT Profile overhaul|this]]. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 14:45, May 20, 2024 (EDT) | ||
:I think we can handle it. {{tem|Button}} has over 200 and seems fine; I don't think a few hundred more will do major damage --{{User:Porplemontage/sig}} 15:32, May 20, 2024 (EDT) | |||
::One thing I forgot to mention is that this template would make use of the switch function upwards to 80 times, maybe more. And on a page like [[List of Mii Racing Suit profiles and statistics in Mario Kart Tour (Cheep Cheep–Pokey)|this one]] (where I intend to use my W.I.P. template), you can multiply that number by about 20. How is that? If it's too much I'll abandon my current project. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 15:41, May 20, 2024 (EDT) | |||
:::Maybe the page will render a little slower; I don't have a problem with that. Whether or not the new template is worth the speed hit is up to you and the community. Unfortunately we can't really know the performance without just building and testing it. --{{User:Porplemontage/sig}} 15:58, May 20, 2024 (EDT) | |||
