Hiding of images
Should some elements of the page be collapsed? The page is long but the table of contents means you can go to straight to a desired skin. Possible ptions for collapsing elements
 * Hide all the images and allow a toggle. Example here
 * Hide sections allow toggling the sections. Example here
 * Both i.e nested collapsing. Example here


 * I think ShowHide on sections would be best, showing all the images within one "pattern" series, having to toggle every single skin would be bothersome, but toggling the entire section would imo be best, (except for the solid skins, sooo many there.. SimonMattila (talk) 17:27, April 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * I think the best choice would be to simply organize the images in tables. That way it avoids an excessive use of the collapsible templates. We can crop the actual skin design from the menu (i.e., Multicam - Blue http://imgur.com/Pt8jIWW) and organize it into tables. NinjaFatGuy (talk) 19:12, April 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * That sounds quite good actually, but the ability to see how the skins look on actual weapons (and the one you suggested where you show how it looks in RAW.) should still remain, perhaps in another section on the page in a collapsed element, where they can preview skin looks? SimonMattila (talk) 19:15, April 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * We might as well add the weapon image in the table as well. But I think each skin should have its own page where we have images of each weapon equipped with that skin. But if that idea is rejected, we can simply add the weapon image in the table to avoid redundancy. Personally, I think we should do just the pattern banner on this page and create a page for each skin, therefore we can create an extensive gallery of each weapon with that skin.

 * Sounds pretty good tbh, then this already existing skins page can be a "portal" to the other skins seperate page, enabling it to function as a sort-of library with functions? SimonMattila (talk) 19:26, April 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * Yes, exactly. We can organize all the skins onto a table on this page with their pattern banner which links to their own page, and there we can have images for each weapon. NinjaFatGuy (talk) 19:28, April 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * That sounds good I was concerned about the length of this page as more and more skins get added. The weapon images should not be added to the table or it will make the page just as long. Sgt Frogman Message Wall:Sgt Frogman


 * What if we add it to the tablet but make it collapsable using toggle elements? SimonMattila (talk) 19:43, April 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * I mean, we could, but I find it redundant if we're just going to link it to a page that compiles all of the weapons together. NinjaFatGuy (talk) 19:45, April 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * I thought that perhaps instead of going through each page to find a skin you like, you can just preview them much faster, then go into the desired page, idk. SimonMattila (talk) 19:47, April 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * That's almost the purpose of the pattern banner. It shows the basic design and if you like it, then you can navigate to the skins' page and see how it looks on almost all the guns. NinjaFatGuy (talk) 19:49, April 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * That's what I mean that I wanted aswell SimonMattila (talk) 19:50, April 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I know. But I think it's best to show just the pattern banner to avoid redundancy and as Sgt. Frogman said, to avoid making the page longer. NinjaFatGuy (talk) 19:55, April 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * You mean pattern banners like this? http://imgur.com/Pt8jIWW <-- This is what I mean when I mean small previews, if thats what you mean aswell then we're just talking about the same thing SimonMattila (talk) 20:03, April 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * Oh, alright, I apologize. Then yes, we are talking about the same thing, I thought you were talking about a weapon image. NinjaFatGuy (talk) 20:32, April 5, 2016 (UTC)
