The Pilot page is in need of an image, and I would like to consult as to which two options I whipped up communicate the idea of the article best.

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

The thread title should just be Pilot.

And [tup] 1.2, but not that much.

[up] I'm still sticking to 1.2 because that image explicitly indicates that the top panel is a pilot.

I'm not sure what the policy is on having leaks as page images; 1.2's pilot is a Content Leak.

For that reason, going with 12.

Fair point, but looking upon the page, it specifically cites "upcoming" media. The Backyardigans pilot isn't considered "upcoming", but it is a leak in itself, so this is a bit of a gray area.

Wait 1.2 might not be a leak. I follow the lost media scene and IIRC that specific clip was from a compilation video by Nick Studios crew. Not sure if that video was itself a leak though.

[up] I could have sworn it was mentioned that it was leaked vs. released by a member of the crew, but then again the info I've received about it comes from Twitter which tends to be hit-or-miss from a factual standpoint. From what I've heard though it's sort of a messy scenario as to if it's actually leaked or not (a cursory look tells me it was, but I'm not too entrenched into the drama to give a sure answer).

All I know is that the only people who REALLY didn't want it released were the Backyardigans Wiki admins, and I don't think any higher-ups from Nickelodeon specifically said anything against releasing the pilot. I think uploads of it got taken down by Paramount, however, so again, gray area.

All right. In that case I'll keep my vote at 12 and wait for mod input to see what the official stance is.

Was the pilot not shown at some point? I've heard that apparently it was lost media because the people that had it gatekept it for some reason but it ended up uploaded on YouTube anyway and these same people attempted to take it down not for copyright reasons, but to prevent anyone else from having it (don't quote me on this though, it's been some time since I heard about it). Does lost media still count as a leak?

Honestly I'd still like to vote for 1.2 unless it being a "leak" really is automatic grounds for not having it. 12 just seems like the same frame but redrawn in two different ways and I can't really tell if one of them is a pilot or the two are like different art direction between an old and a new season.
