Discussion

Please, discuss about the scope without discussing at this stage about the current or future topic naming.

  • Please, read this disambiguation page before commenting. — SH4ever (talk) 17:34, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
  • Support. This follows the current most important subject of the pages instead of the current naming. (A discussion about titles will come later). This categorization is already mostly respected. It allows the distinction between the topics sharing the same name. Each topic can have enough space to be developed and its multiple aspects. — SH4ever (talk) 17:01, 9 June 2021 (UTC) and 15:51, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

HDR pages's title

Wikipedia title requirements

Wikipedia ask for:

  • Recognizability – The title is a name or description of the subject that someone familiar with, although not necessarily an expert in, the subject area will recognize.
  • Naturalness – The title is one that readers are likely to look or search for and that editors would naturally use to link to the article from other articles. Such a title usually conveys what the subject is actually called in English.
  • Precision – The title unambiguously identifies the article's subject and distinguishes it from other subjects. (See § Precision and disambiguation, below.)
  • Conciseness – The title is no longer than necessary to identify the article's subject and distinguish it from other subjects. (See § Conciseness, below.)
  • Consistency – The title is consistent with the pattern of similar articles' titles. Many of these patterns are listed (and linked) as topic-specific naming conventions on article titles, in the box above.

Read more about Wikipedia naming conventions here: Wikipedia:Article titles.

Before starting the discussion, I invite you to read the explanation I have wrote about HDR's multiple meanings and writing.

Discussion 1: Stop using option 1

If you rode my explanation, you should understand why I believe there is no discussion over the fact that we should stop using option 1.

They are a lot of misconceptions about HDR. ITU gives some example here. ITU is a far more reliable source than most websites. Option 1 is based on misconceptions and is spreading them. It has created a mess on Wikipedia. Peaople do not know where is the right page to go. The pages dicuss topics that do not belong to them. There are so much Wikilinks that target the wrong page. Cleaning up all of that has become a time consuming nightmare. I tried to do my best but there is so much more work to do.

I totally oppose to the use of option 1.

My main reasons for stoping to use "high dynamic range video" as the title of page C<nowiki> are the fact that this contradicts current Wikipedia pages and also outside sources. Here are evidences and explanation. — SH4ever (talk) 00:45, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Evidences and explanation about why we should stop using the title "high-dynamic-range video""
*

High dynamic range (HDR) is a video and image technology

Page C

  • HDR came in 2014, first in the video industry and then in the gaming industry.[5] More recently, it has also entered in the still picture industry.[6]

    Page C

  • It's also coming for the Web.[1]
  • Check the "Still images" and "Web" of the "Adoption" section of page C. It's the same technology than the rest of the page.

The page-C-HDR technology is more common for video but if you read the page, you can see that its subject really is the same technology that can also be used for other than video. In addition to that, not all HDR video belong to the technology discussed in page C.

  • Here, by the term "computationnal HDR", Qualcomm refers to the HDR technique discussed in page B. By the term "4K HDR" it refers to the technology discussed in page C. Their latest high-end SoC is capable to do both for video.

...staggered HDR [sensors] can capture three images, all with detail in different parts –bright or dark –of the scene. Qualcomm Spectra 580’s triple concurrency can merge all of these images together to bring you one final image with incredible dynamic range. This technique has been available for photo capture. But for the first time on Snapdragon you’ll be able to capture 4K HDR with computational HDR.

  • Qualcomm further write the following which refers to the page-C-HDR:

Photo capture will also get new HDR capabilities with 10-bit color depth. Snapdragon 845 debuted 10-bit color depth for video capture, known as 4K HDR. It could capture 4K HDR video in the HLG and HDR10 formats. Snapdragon 855 added 4K HDR video capture in HDR10+ format and Snapdragon 865 addedvideo capture in the Dolby Vision format. Qualcomm Spectra will be able to capture photos in 10-bit color depth in the HEIF format. With Snapdragon 888 you’ll be able to capture photos in over a billion shades of color.

  • The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra already has the "HDR technique" capability (page B). It achieves that thanks to the Smart ISO Pro capability of its modern sensor and the Qualcomm SoC it uses.[2]

It's expected that in a near future, all future high-end smartphones will have that capability for video which I refer to the "HDR technique" as page-B-HDR is a technique while the page-C-HDR technology is a way of representing the color and the luminance of images, not a technique.

Hope that make things clear. — SH4ever (talk) 00:44, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Discussion 2: What titles should we use?

Now that we have ditched option 1, we can discuss about other options. Put up your opinion about option 2 and option 3 or propose new options.

The goal: Find which title meet Wikipedia's requirements the best.  Preceding unsigned comment added by SH4ever (talkcontribs)

I didn't realized we had decided to ditch option 1. It doesn't seem that bad to me, even if the titles don't precide delineate the contents. Option 2 seems nutty, with its over-capitalization and complicated parentheticals. Option 3 or something like it might be OK if that's how we agree the content splits up, but I think it would be better to expand the acronym to the hyphenated compound modifier like we use in option 1 presently.

Use of capitalization: 'high dynamic range' vs 'High Dynamic Range'

Requested move 9 June 2021

Merger proposal (Wide dynamic range)

Undiscussed controversial moves

Third opinion

Requested move 10 June 2021
