We'll wait and see.

hmmm....is it maybe because the "1st place" on the poll isn't really "1st place?"
That's because IMHO it's excessively complex and doesn't provide an exact answer to "what should we do?" question.

In other words, you're remaking current poll without "I do not know" option, splitting "I (dis)agree" options into two and leaving no room for fresh ideas (despite what's happened to current poll)? I'd like to see reasons behind this, if possible.

Mostly OK for me, but they're unscalable: no matter how (un)important question is, it will take 30 days to decide. How about time interval for poll's creator to choose from? I'd say 7-30 days should be enough. I don't like fixed number of votes as well. Wide-scale elections AFAIK are based on population percentage; similarly to this, we could count active users. For example, now we have 193 users with 10+ posts (out of 719 registered). Won't 10% of all users with 10+ posts be more "elastic" rather than rigid "17" or "20"?

This is my vote:
"I agree, details don't matter" = "I agree"
That means -1 to generic "I agree" and +1 to "make two pages". Let's recalculate...
"I agree, details don't matter" =
"I agree" - 9 = 17 - 9 = 8
"Place images on one page altogether, like in ZnT and Toradora"
+5
"Use single page, but covers and B&W inlines shouldn't be too close"
+3
"I disagree, details don't matter" =
"I disagree" - 2 = 12 - 2 = 10
"Make two pages: one for covers and another for B&W inlines"
+2
"Use gallery for covers and chapters for inlines, like in SHnY"
+1

If you mean poll choices, right now oni is going to use my variants. Just a side note, in case you're implying that I'm biased.

Done properly this would include a note about what page the image appears on so they can be properly placed as the text is added. Less work for the editors.
Being an editor, I can't help but agree
Nice idea to be put into general guidelines, I'd say. However, this is a bit off-topic.
Smidge204 wrote:On top of that, Create a category for each project, and tag the images accordingly. You could then provide a link to the category and everything is automagically generated.
Man, I like this typo.. Gonna steal it
More seriously, if I got it right, it's just a technical shortcut to make gallery of project's B&W images anywhere on wiki. That's all nice and good, but this won't solve the problem of LOCATION of this gallery (BTW, does that mean that you're switching from "like in SHnY" to "two pages" idea?)
