Chani → Chani (character)
Chani (disambiguation) → Chani

– No clear primary topic, as there are multiple articles that people may be looking for. The most popular two would be Chani the character and Kang Chan-hee (stage name Chani), and the singer gets more views, although not enough to be a primary topic. Therefore, the disambiguation page should be at Chani. Joseph2302 (talk) 12:03, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Image

Can we update the image to the 2020 version? Since the original screenshot is in poor quality? Triosdeity (talk) 10:28, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this. Kokaynegeesus (talk) 06:33, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's not appropriate to automatically update character infobox images to the most current depiction, but in this case I think an image of Zendaya in the role in the Villeneuve film is a more distinctive, definitive and notable representation of the character. Further, the Sean Young is not very distinctive, and assuming we make this change it should therefore be replaced with an available free equivalent like File:Sean Young LF.JPG in the body of the article.— TAnthony^Talk 17:29, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm thinking cropped/reduced versions of Zandaya images like these: Gizmodo or Empire— TAnthony^Talk 16:56, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work putting in current year pictures of the previous actresses instead of their actual portrayal of the character. Is this supposed to make Zendaya look better? It just makes wikipedia look like a pack of retards. 2001:8A0:6A2F:7800:D281:4F6:E0AB:B67E (talk) 08:24, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, WP:NFCC requires we use only a minimal amount of non-free images in articles, so we cannot use three copyrighted images of the actresses in character. The current portrayal was chosen for the infobox. Get over it.— TAnthony^Talk 16:42, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
