[edit] Image

What about Image:SMPosse.PNG as an image for this page — might be a little more visually interesting, though it doesn't say "print" on it... Trey56 04:21, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

I like that image, but I sort of think that something that actually has a print button on it would be more relevent to the article. The punkin one was the most interesting one I could find, and I think that it evens out the page quite nicely. - The Joe^(Talk) 04:26, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Alternately, you could use an image of The Paper. --DorianGray

I like the punkin picture for the same reasons as Joe. It's very appropriate, for lack of a better word. kai lyn 04:34, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] English paper

• The Joe, I guess you're right; "A Well Thought-Out Englilish Paper" isn't really a printable. But I still feel like it should be included here. Maybe a sort of disclaimer, or I could point out that calling it a "printable" is more of a misnomer because it's really just a word doc download? Any thoughts anyone? (Maybe I'm just being stubborn - sorry if I'm being nit-picky).kai lyn 04:23, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, I'm not that sure if the intent of the doc being able to be downloaded was to be printed or not, so I think that we should leave it out of the aricle. Better safe than sorry! :) - The Joe^(Talk) 04:26, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree that it shouldn't go on this page (I almost added it once, but then realized you couldn't print it directly from the swf file). However, it makes me wonder if there should be another page listing the various files you can download at the end of toons. I can think of a good handful of these just off the top of my head... This is outside of the scope of Downloads, since that's specific to the button on the Main Pages, but what about Downloadables, or something? Trey56 04:33, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Wow! That's a great idea! I was thinking the same thing, but was having trouble just setting this page up! For example, what about those Sweet Cuppin' Cakes icons at the end of crazy cartoon? kai lyn 04:37, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

I dunno, I think what you're thinking of can fit in a section of Downloads. Bluebry 04:39, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

A section of Downloads called "other downloads" would work nicely. - The Joe^(Talk) 04:41, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

That's a possibility; it probably depends on how many of these other downloads there are. If they do go on Downloads, then it should be done in such a way that makes it clear that they're not accessible from the downloads button on the Main Pages. Trey56 04:42, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

I like Trey56's "Downloadables" idea, because it's not as likely to get confused with the "Downloads" option on the main page. Things like "Takin' a break.exe" and the Sweet Cuppin' Cakes icons aren't found from any of the main pages, only in Easter Eggs. kai lyn 04:50, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

If this is the route chosen, then we can put disambiguation messages at the top of each page so that they're easily distinguishable and accessible from each other. Trey56 04:55, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
