Talk:Limited edition ship

Linkified images: genius or folly?
So, I'm reasonably familiar with wikis in general, and the YPPedia in particular. I know perfectly well that images almost never serve as general hyperlinks, and will pretty much always take you to the information page for that image. And yet, almost every time I come to this page, I end up accidentally navigating to image info for a ship's dock view, when I intended to go to a specific ship page. (Having been conditioned by the entire rest of the internet to expect hyperlink images serving as informational thumbnails to behave in a certain way.)

Now, I fully understand why wiki images should almost always link to image info, but because these images are full-resolution to begin with, and because the pages that the links below them direct you to also include these images, (with links to info) does anyone think it would be acceptable to turn the ship images on this page into links to the LE ship pages in question? (In addition to the text below them, not as a replacement.)

I'm reasonably sure this could be done by changing Template:Limited_edition_ship from this:

&lt;br&gt; class

To this:

&lt;br&gt; class

I suspect there are many good arguments against this, and probably also best practice style policies, but I figured I'd toss it out for discussion. --Ladodal 05:15, 9 August 2012 (PDT)
