Forum:Standards for object infobox images

I've noticed a few object articles on the wiki that utilize Infobox object and use a tabber to display multiple images of the same object, with the only difference between the images being that the object has been recolored. I brought this up on the wiki discord server, and it was mentioned that a couple users have had concerns about this as well.

To be honest, I don't think having multiple images of the same object is at all necessary, and in fact I think it tends to detract from the article, more than add anything of value. I'd be curious to get the general opinion of the community, but I'd be in favor of amending the MoS to clarify how images should be displayed in infoboxes, or object infoboxes in particular. I personally would suggest that we only display a single image in each infobox instance, and that (if possible) the image displayed be as similar as possible to the image displayed in the buy mode/build mode catalog entry for the item (e.g. the object should have no background or be against a neutral background, the object should be oriented in the same direction, the object should be the same color).
