SMI Image
Image:Super Monkey Island Crack.png would be my initial suggestion. My concern is that short acronyms like SMI (and words like crack) could easily apply to multiple games. The name technically follows policy, so you can just remove the rename template if you don't feel it's necessary. -- Prod (Talk) 01:24, 4 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Btw, the policies aren't really set in stone yet. But as you're dealing with the topic, I hope you'll voice your opinion at some point on certain revisions that are necessary (such as the acronym thing).  I always like to name my images as "Full Game Name, 1-2 Word Descriptor, # if in a series,.extension."  However for the full game name, I'd leave out the prefix "the" like for SMI.  Also "crack" doesn't seem like a descriptor.  Isn't that picture of like, what to click on to get down the cliff?  So "Super Monkey Island Cliff Climb.png" would be the way I'd personally go.  --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 04:27, 4 May 2007 (CDT)
 * For full game names, I would include “The” if it is part of the formal title, and in this case it is. The game’s article (The Secret of Monkey Island) includes it anyway, so I would stick it into the image titles for consistency. “Crack” is actually the name of the location in which the screenshot is taken, and it’s not called a “cliff” in the game.  Initially I named it “crack” because the screenshot shows where you're supposed to attach the rope in the so-called crack.  Since the screenshot also shows how to reach the oars, perhaps I could name it Image:Secret of Monkey Island oars?  Or will that conflict with the naming of the image sprites of the inventory? —Shido 04:41, 4 May 2007 (CDT)
