== Image Claiming ==
This may be less of a question and more of a comment. So on gimp, on some of the gifs that I work with, there's a comment section somewhere where it by default says "Created by GIMP". I used to change it whenever I remembered to "Created by Malake256 for Metroidwiki.org using GIMP" or something along those lines. I never thought it would pop back up but I came across a couple of these: [http://es.metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Archivo:Sprite_Autrack.gif#Metadatos], scroll down to the "Metadatos" and click "Mostrar datos detallados". This is the Metadata hidden within images, and on this guy you can read that Malake256 created it. I don't really mind that our homies at MOver used a sprite or two, especially considering they are really good at citing their stuff, but I think we can use that to link to MW using the hidden data. By pasting [metroidwiki.org] in the metadata, we can have a hidden link to MW whenever anyone uses the image. It's the kind of stuff that a google crawler would come by.
Also, I think there may be some sort of categorizing application of this. Maybe we can use the metadata to tag certain images? Whatever the case, this was more of a point of interest and kinda funny than anything :] {{:User:Malake256/sig}} 03:53, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
