Changing the profile image (the image in the article's infobox, or the top image to the right of the introduction for a large majority of articles) is one of the most common proposed changes to articles on Avatar Wiki. Due to the regularity with which profile image changes are suggested, Avatar Wiki centralizes these changes on this page.

Procedures[]

  1. The proposer posts their suggestion(s) here. The proposer must support their suggestion(s) with a sensible reason for replacement ("it is an accurate representation of the character/plot").
  2. The proposer must then apply the {{PIC}} template to the top of the article for which a change is being proposed.
  3. Discussion about the proposal can begin immediately. An administrator may, however, decide to retroactively reject the proposal if it is felt it does not meet the required standards.
  4. If a discussion ensues and:
    1. there is unanimous agreement among all commenters, then the image can be replaced three days after the proposal was made
    2. there is a majority consensus in favour of one proposal and no comment has been made for three days, then the image can be replaced
    3. there is no clear consensus between involved users, then a ballot will be placed forward among the supported proposals
  5. In the case of proposals that regard the image of a newly created page (i.e. one less than a week old), the proposal is carried out after 24 hours if every participant is in agreement. If at least one user disagrees, the discussion will carry on for at least three days.

In order to speed up the process, it can be beneficial to withhold your comments when you agree with the majority. Adding your own comment will reset the "three days without comment" waiting period for consensus.

The other images is from Tudum and is rectangular by comparison and i feel it would look better in an infobox. Valyrian Wildfire (wallcontribs)} 22:24, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

The second proposal is not bad, but I still think the first image is the better option. Being very tight to the edge is not always preferable, it can look too squashed. The greater, for lack of a better word, padding around the characters in the first image imo looks nicer overall. HAMMEROFTHØR (wall) • 00:46, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

Specialized bending techniques[]

The profile image will not be changed.

the current mage only represents one of the multiple techniques, while the replacement represents a wider range and also adds the official symbols of some of these techniques to the article and the wiki. CharlotteSmoothie (wallcontribs) 03:49, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Nope. This image is just a bunch of symbols, it doesn't actually depict any bending at all. Regarding the symbols themselves, I'm a bit suspicious. We had extensive coverage of Avatar Generations before it shutdown, and I don't remember these ever showing up, and I'm quite certain I've seen these, or something very similar to these as fanart. I'm not sure Avatar Generations would have actually used these considering their fanart origins, similar to how they had to change Jianzhu's design that got used from fanart. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 04:08, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
It turns Avatar Generations shared it on instagram, and I found the original 2009 fanart with these symbols. Based on comments available on link, original artist is aware and seemed to want to look into it. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 04:20, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
doesn't change it being official symbols by now and they should be represented on this wiki. and i don't see any reason why the image for specialized bedig techniques should be just depiction one singular instead of a wider range CharlotteSmoothie (wallcontribs) 04:42, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
Provenance of designs means their official status is muddy at best, even if shared on Avatar Generations' instagram, per Jianzhu example. Still just symbols, not actual depictions of bending. You don't see the symbols for the main bending arts used as the main image for their articles. There are very few instances in the both series where multiple specialized techniques are depicted together, none of them particularly appropriate for a main profile image. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 04:53, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
then make a image out of multiple pictures. or at least use one thats not as dark as that one, on a thumbnail image it really depends on the screen setting if you can actually see anything on the curent pic. and no the official satus isn't "muddy at best" it's an offical picture posted by the official account of the official game. those logos are official and have to be represented on this wiki CharlotteSmoothie (wallcontribs) 04:56, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

I don't find anything wrong with the current picture, as it should show the actual bending. If anything, I would add those symbols to the trivia section if there was enough space for it. Dcasawang1wall 13:19, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

You really can't see anything on the current picture when your screen is bad, when i pput it on my second screen it's just picture of lin surrounded by black. also of all specialized bending techniques i think metal bending metal strings is not very representative, you need too much knowledge to understand it. CharlotteSmoothie (wallcontribs) 18:35, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
That's a bad screen issue, not a bad image issue. A majority of the image is the golden hue of the arena, against which you can clearly see the metal cables. Also, of all the specialized bending techniques to use as a main image in this article, metalbending is the most appropriate, since it's the most prevalent and commonly used one. There are currently 63 uploaded images depicting metalbending, the next most greatest category is lightning generation with 35 images, a significant number of which are cover art. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:04, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
the image is too dark and even if you can see everything the metal srings look like ropes to someone who hasn't seen ALoK, there are much better metalbending images on this wiki then this one CharlotteSmoothie (wallcontribs) 13:54, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
The proposed replacement is not a good option, given as has been mentioned the questionable provenance of those images and whether they were used with permission. Beyond that, I also don't think it suits as a profile image, which for the page should at least show some kind of bending being used. However, given that the "quality" of the current image has been questioned, I have added a second proposal which should address those issues. It shows specialised bending being used, the lighting should address any issues of the current being too dark to be seen, and as best I can find is not being used as a profile image on another page. HAMMEROFTHØR (wall) • 14:17, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
I don't find anything wrong with the article's current image. It seems to be a problem of this user's screen, but I also don't find the second proposal a bad one. It kind of shows two specialized bending techniques at the same time: metalbending and seismic sense. Dcasawang1wall 14:37, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
I'm neutral on the second proposal. While it does show two different techniques, the fact it's two closely related techniques within the same bending discipline gives me pause. And the alternatives are not much better. The only other images I know we have that would technically fit are Amon taking Zolt's bending, depicting lightning generation and bloodbending (though I find this suboptimal, as bending removal is hardly the typical bloodbending move); Mako managing to blast Amon with lightning while breaking free of his bloodbending hold (not sure counts as bloodbending since Mako managing to break free means bloodbending is no longer in effect); and P'Li's combustionbending starting to go off when Suyin encases her head in metal (technically the best option conceptually, but in practice a very awkward image).

Zirin[]

Proposal #1 will become the new profile image.

Please do not edit this discussion.


In my opinion, the current profile image of Zirin is not ideal. It is a bit blurry (due to being extracted from a small comic panel section), and it does not well represent Zirin. As per the new comic, Zirin is a generally friendly and concerned person who only reacts in anger when dealing with Azula; the current image reflects her anger, not her usual self. However, the new comic did not provide any ideal alternatives. Regardless, I found two images which are clearer than the current one and better reflect her personality. The first one showcases her upbeat side, but suffers from the somewhat weird eyes. The second is also clearer and reflects her concerned side, but cuts off the top of her head. So, what do you think? Is either of these proposals better than the current one, and which would you prefer? DyingFlameTsui (wallcontribs) 14:25, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

Second proposal is clearer and shows her whole head. Dcasawang1wall 14:27, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

Besides the fact that the proposal is more up-to-date and clearer, it does not have the distracting speech bubbles of the current image. In addition, the proposal exclusively showcases Fire Warriors, whereas the current one includes a non-member (namely Ukano who lurks in the current image's background).

With the release of Azula's team for Avatar: Generations, we have also gotten new art of the group. Sadly, usually something is put in front of the new art, be it advertisement or in-game notes, but I managed to extract a relative well-sized chunk for the proposal. In my opinion, the current infobox image is fine, but the proposal would have clearer images of Ty Lee and Mai with the same dynamic as in the original. If someone can find a complete version of the new art, however, I would support it rather than smaller version. DyingFlameTsui (wallcontribs) 13:27, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

I agree. They will probably release a new image showing the full bodies without a text in front of them on social media soon. For now, this proposal is better than the current one. Dcasawang1wall 18:29, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
I'm ambivalent towards this image. While I agree that game art should be used if it is a good alternative, as with Team Avatar's current profile image, the plain background here vexes me somewhat in a way I can't quite put my finger on, Kyoshi's blank background didn't bother me. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:29, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
Support for the current. Even though the proposal has slightly better quality, I actually don't think it captures the dynamic of the original as suggested. One of the defining traits of the team was that Azula was very much in charge, with Mai and Ty Lee taking secondary roles. The current image exemplifies this dynamic very well: Azula appears much larger and directly in front, while Mai and Ty Lee are smaller and behind or in the background. While the proposal still has Azula in the center, the three of them are more equally sized and on the same plane. For this reason, I think the current is a better profile image. HAMMEROFTHØR (wall) • 20:59, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
While I agree that the dynamic looks better in the first image, I don't think that alone outweighs all of the positives of the proposal. The picture for Team Avatar was also recently changed to something from the game if I'm not mistaken, and looks very good. I think this proposal will also be a good change. Zacatero • (Wall) • 15  20  15 22:16, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
Previous Team Avatar image had worse deficiencies that don't apply to this current image though, such as unusual aspect ratio and lack of color. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:11, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

While the wiki seemingly prefers screen grabs from the series over other images, I think that the current image of Kyoshi doesn't reflect her appearance as well as it could. There's a retrospection tint to it, her hair is black, and lips are almost as dark. My proposal comes from the Avatar Legends RPG, and I think it's much better quality, it shows Kyoshi's true hair colour, red lipstick and shiny golden ornaments. There's also a second one that isn't as zoomed in and reveals more of her shoulders. As a side note, I resized the image to match the current one, but we can easily crop it any way the community would want. ~ Matik7 (talk · contribs) 12:10, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

This is a difficult one, but I think on balance my support is for proposal #2. While the general ideal is to use images from the show, the current profile image for Kyoshi is actually not ideal given how close a shot it is of her head and how much of the top of her ornament is cropped off. Also fair to note that her appearances in the shows were very limited and she is much more widely seen in other media, so picking from just the animations would be restrictive in getting the best profile image. Proposal #2 is better to #1 since it is not cropped directly to the top of her ornament; generally just looks nicer to have some whitespace around the head for profile images. That said, if there is a better version of the current image which is not so close and perhaps better lit, then I would switch my support for that. But for now, support for #2. HAMMEROFTHØR (wall) • 12:47, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
Proposal #2 is less cropped a more of a bust, which is ideal over just a face. Dcasawang1wall 17:36, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
It feels weird for it to not be from the show but after reviewing the episode there's nothing better. Support for proposal #2. – TechFilmer🍍 03:20, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

Current image for the series shows the boxset only with the Kyoshi duology. Proposal is an image of the boxset containing both duologies.

I've added a proposed replacement that is artwork for the box set. Personally I prefer it as it blends the two Chronicle duologies, and it's artwork, rather than a photograph of a physical item. The copyright text could be edited out, pending if the guidelines/copyright allow for that kind of modification. RubbleRubble RubbleRubble (wallcontribs) 02:10, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
Proposal #2 for sure. I think we can remove the text and it still be fine within our guidelines. – TechFilmer🍍 03:20, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
I actually like the new proposal better. The article is about the series, not necessarily the physical books only. We can always replace the bottom picture with proposal #1. Dcasawang1wall 03:22, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
I like it as well, but I do wish it was a png file. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 03:29, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

The current is not a bad image, but the framing and dimensions means she appear quite small in the image. It also looks a little washed out, either from the colour of the background or the lighting.
