User blog:JoshuaJSlone/Wiki Policy: Photobook, Audio Previews

This is something Maopyon and I have brought up very briefly in a corner of the wiki:

So yeah, our photobook pages here tend to have waaaay too many pictures. We have pages where the "preview" is 50, 60, even 80 images. Being an informative source is good, but giving away entire products is bad. The question comes to what sort of limits we should have. Personally I feel Maopyon's suggestion of 20 max is still too much. Whenever we see official previews on sites they tend to only have a handful, as well as having a big fat PREVIEW mark on top of them. I might not feel strongly about enforcing things to THAT extent, but maybe something like maxing out at 1/5 the page count or a dozen pictures, whichever is less? That would still give a very generous preview of the product. I'm sure there will be more varied opinions on this, especially from those who actually have contributed a lot to these photobook pages.

Audio previews aren't really a problem because we only have about two of them so far. But if you add an audio file as a preview of a song, a half minute should be plenty.
