Volume poem images[]

This seems like the appropriate place to bring this up: every volume, databook, and booklet's opening poem has a small, thin, horizontal image located above it on the page that provides a bit of extra flavor to either the poem itself or the theme of that particular collection of chapters/information - generally, it's a more artistic than literal kind of panel that you don't really see in the manga. So after prompting from Sccq98 on this front, I was wondering: should we incorporate these into the templates on the volume/databook/etc. pages? It wouldn't be hard to add to the coding, the main issue that I can see is proper placement (right now I'm thinking below the poem but I'm open to suggestions.) Thoughts?--Xilinoc ^(talk) 13:15, June 17, 2020 (UTC)

I wouldnt be in favour of it to be honest. This is just me personally, but I think its pushing the whole fair use idea too far. We are supposed to summarise, not transcribe, we dont put up whole episodes or chapters. We arent and shouldnt be a substitute for buying the manga, DVDs, etc. Have to leave Kubo/Shueisha/Viz something you know. Its always a blurry line with fair use and going beyond that, but I think this is too much. Its not data/info. More is not always good, you have to draw the line somewhere. Im not sure exactly where that line would be, but for me its not this. ~~Ууp ^<talk> 22:05, June 17, 2020 (UTC)

You know what, you make a fair point, Yyp. It's not that I don't care about Fair Use, but I'd honestly forgotten about it in relation to this wiki for some time now since, well, it didn't really come up or become a problem very often if at all. That said, you're right that this might be adding too much.--Xilinoc ^(talk) 22:53, June 17, 2020 (UTC)
