As you're already aware, lately I've been updating various articles on Mario Kart Tour subjects with in-game blurbs. Because the game only provides these to the end user for a relatively brief period of time, not everyone has ready access to the game's files, and there aren't always video recordings of this information available online to cite, I've taken upon myself to take screenshots featuring these blurbs and upload them to the wiki to act as citations. My concern is that the number of screenshots I have uploaded and will continue to upload is... quite large, to say the least. | As you're already aware, lately I've been updating various articles on Mario Kart Tour subjects with in-game blurbs.

*Each item has a blurb localised in 11 languages, meaning I have to upload 11 screenshots at once for a single item. | *Each item has a blurb localised in 11 languages, meaning I have to upload 11 screenshots at once for a single item. | ||
*The game currently has {{MKT drivers}} drivers, {{MKT karts}} karts, and {{MKT gliders}} gliders, | *The game currently has {{MKT drivers}} drivers, {{MKT karts}} karts, and {{MKT gliders}} gliders, making for a total of {{#expr:{{MKT drivers}}+{{MKT karts}}+{{MKT gliders}}}}. ''Not nearly'' as many items have been given blurbs, but let's assume all of them have. Each screenshot, when optimised with TinyPNG, ends up being an average of 160kb; times 11, that's 1.76mb of material uploaded for 1 item; times the number of items shown above, that's {{#expr:{{#expr:{{MKT drivers}}+{{MKT karts}}+{{MKT gliders}}}}*1.76}}mb worth of content in our scenario. | ||
Considering the wiki has around 70GB of media files as of writing, would you be ok with a potential {{#expr:{{#expr:{{#expr:{{MKT drivers}}+{{MKT karts}}+{{MKT gliders}}}}*1.76}}/1000 round 1}} gb more to the wiki's storage, or would you prefer I found another way to cite the information mentioned above? {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 15:46, July 17, 2023 (EDT) | Considering the wiki has around 70GB of media files as of writing, would you be ok with a potential {{#expr:{{#expr:{{#expr:{{MKT drivers}}+{{MKT karts}}+{{MKT gliders}}}}*1.76}}/1000 round 1}} gb more to the wiki's storage, or would you prefer I found another way to cite the information mentioned above? {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 15:46, July 17, 2023 (EDT) | ||
