Include splash screens on the site

I propose the inclusion of splash screens on the site, for the following reasons:

• Most of the times, they are audiovisual identity, and they share similarities with onscreen logos and commercial tags (inclusion of logo, byline, sometimes animated logos. etc)
• Bootscreens are considered splash screens, in fact they're also known as boot splashes
• We have one page for a splash screen: Shazam (the second entry)

If this proposal passes, of course splash screens should be split off from onscreen logos (like the Shazam one), probably into a new subpage like we currently do with bumpers and tags. We should also only include notable splash screens if possible.

2. Support. Why not? We already have pages for OS boot screens, so why not go all in? Dominicmgm (talk) 15:01, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

5. Support I think it’s a great suggestion. Would QuickTime be added to the corresponding category once this happens?

7. Support I sometimes think this idea can be implemented without needing a RfC, but at least we have a firm record of support. --Pingu (talk) 02:00, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

   What is your rationale? · Talk · Edits 16:06, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

   I don't really know how to explain why, I just have mixed feelings on that. But now that I think about it, it might work. Gilby1385 (talk) 17:39, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Oppose

1. Oppose Maybe you mean add the splash screen on the mainpage ONLY. PokeRapMonster (talk) 11:39, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

   He means documenting splash screens, not creating one for the wiki (Lets chat!) 11:45, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
