Caption Discussion/Repair Thread:

Maybe it could be simplified to "And yes, they are compatible in game." But maybe we can assume that anyway.

For Knight Templar Parent, as a reference to "Isabella and the Temple of Sap"

Or a line taken directly after this:

I also got this one for Movie-Theater Episode solely cause I found out Advertising.We Make Movies Better has a page:

I think the text on Knight Templar Parent is enough (honestly it's a bit much), whereas we tend to discourage gratuitous references to other media as image captions (and the caption's a bit too sappy for the tone of a typical Movie-Theater Episode).

Does the labelnote on Nuke 'em actually help? "Go look at this other page" isn't an explanation, and also do we even need an explanation or is "large bomb will make large light" obvious enough on its own?

I think that note can be removed and not hurt anything.

Agreed.

Speaking of, do we need the note on Delinquent Hair? It was added randomly at the beginning of the month and "Something tells me that he isn't supportive of the system..." isn't a joke that needs elaboration IMO.

I'd say it's superfluous.

I like the caption for Ring of Power, but it's full of potholes. Would a simpler version be better?

So the caption I wrote for Something Else Also Rises recently got hooked, but I just realized that I used the wrong word by mistake; I wrote "sprung", but it turns out I was mistaken in thinking this was the past tense (sprung is the past participle) and that it should be "sprang".

I wanted to fix this, but given I'd technically be changing the caption by this, I wanted to check here first. Though I'd imagine it's probably not a huge deal, but part of me cares about being pedantic.

If it's a small issue like that it's fine. It's only a unilateral change if the caption becomes choppily potholed, completely reworded or has a superfluous note added to it.

Carrying over a suggestion from the IP thread for Literature.Jaws.

May I suggest using the previous image's tagline as the caption and making the current caption the page quote, since the tagline is shorter and snappier.

Thanks, I just corrected it.

Back on September 30, 2022, Harmony Bunny 2000 added a new caption for VideoGame.Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped despite the note saying not to do so without discussion in the thread.

Personally, while I don't hate the caption, may I suggest using the full tagline instead?

Or alternatively, use this portion, since the time travel aspect is one of the game's main gimmicks.
