I like the idea that the random pictures all involve [[Grand Theft Auto V|GTA V]], but most of the ones that appear are kinda pixelated and blurry, being screenshots from the first trailer, being blown up to a bigger size. There are hundreds of other GTA V images that would work better there. Is there a way we can change this? -[[User:IanPhoenix|Ian Phoenix]] ([[User talk:IanPhoenix|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/IanPhoenix|edits]]) 03:10, 1 February 2013 (UTC) | I like the idea that the random pictures all involve [[Grand Theft Auto V|GTA V]], but most of the ones that appear are kinda pixelated and blurry, being screenshots from the first trailer, being blown up to a bigger size.

:The current functionality works simply by choosing a random image from one of the following categories: | |||
:*[[:Category:Screenshots of GTA V|Screenshots of GTA V]] | |||
:*[[:Category:Screenshots of GTA V vehicles|Screenshots of GTA V vehicles]] | |||
:*[[:Category:Screenshots of GTA V settings|Screenshots of GTA V settings]] | |||
:*[[:Category:Screenshots of GTA V features|Screenshots of GTA V features]] | |||
:*[[:Category:Screenshots of GTA V characters|Screenshots of GTA V characters]] | |||
:*[[:Category:Screenshots of GTA V weapons|Screenshots of GTA V weapons]] | |||
:Basically, this means that any image that we have which is related to GTA V can be chosen. We ''could'' limit this to a special, high resolution category, but that wouldn't really be random. I had the same concern when we first started testing random images (long before they were restricted to GTA V), and while you do occasionally see images that [[:Image:Sergeant.png|don't even have anything to do with GTA]], I think that the concept works fine overall as it is, being truly random.
