Template:Mainpic

Description

Characters need some sort of visual representation. How can we tell the mess of Mini-Con recolors straight if there's no picture? A screengrab, a toy photo, a scan of the lineart from the instructions if that's all there is! And what of the many voice actors and writers who toil away at our media, unseen by the world? Shouldn't they too be brought to light? {{mainpic}} puts a stand-in image pleading for some sort of image for them.

{{mainpic}} places the article in Category: Characters with no pictures, and indicates a more urgent lack of pictures than {{picsneeded}}

Usage

Parameters

Optional

This templates takes a single anonymous parameter for the date on which this template was added to the article. This helps us prioritize adding main pics by ordering the pages according to how long they've needed an image. In addition to the aforementioned category, if the the date parameter is supplied this template will also place the article into [[Category:No mainpic for <X> <months/years>]] or if it's been more than three years, Category:No mainpic for too damn long!
