Ok, I figured how implement the NNSD thumbnails. Do you remeber the Thumb parameter in the Song Derivative?

Well, I implemented this one to allow choose a different thumbnail in case the default generated by Youtube one it isn't too good (taking advantage that YT generates 3 thumbnails per video, one for the begining, other for the middle and finally one for the last part of the video). I was thinking that if I modify it I could allow to choose which video hosting would be utilized for load the thumbnails.


 * Example: Writting NND, it will allow load the thumbnail from Nicovideo, while writting YT3 it will allow load the 3rd thumbnail generated by Youtube.

NND = Loads thumbnail from Nicovideo

YT = Loads the thumbnail default from Youtube

YT# = Load the one of the 3 thumbnail generated by Youtube, specified by the number.

SC = Loads the icon for Soundclound

RS = Loads the icon for Radioshack

This could be easily implemented using the switch#  Parse Code. I did something similar with the Vocaloid parameter in Character's infobox in Evillious Chronicles Wiki.

Now about the Song derivative  also I've been thinking that probably we're going to need simplify it or make it smaller, in the future. However I wouldn't like reduce it to mere squares with a few thumbnails as Utaite wiki, that would look ugly >__<. If there were a way to do tables that could collapse horizontally :S

Actually there are various things I would like to discuss about the Song derivative, however I think it would be a better discuss them in a different thread or in the Talk page of the template.

Theres's another problem with the Song pages. The external links... I've seen at least 3 different formats. We need to stablish an unique format.

Also, we need to stablish a better ruleset and regulation about the Galleries. I've been tempted to include the official arts, however that could open some problems of copyright issues. Also, we should continues using the Gallery or we should replace it for the. What you think about it?
