Forum:Images Used Only At Talk Pages

I've been meaning to open this for awhile now, but it is finally time to address this.

I believe there is no reason at all to have all of these useless images in Category:Images Used only at Talk Pages. Most of them are images that go completely against our wiki's guidelines, and definitely should never have been uploaded to the wiki. I propose we either externally host these (imageshack, photobucket), or just delete them entirely, because really, it just makes the wiki look ugly having all of that crap uploaded. 21:40, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

They aren't needed regardless. Read my proposition. Re upload them externally and we don't have ugly images all in one category. 21:44, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

While I agree this is somewhat unclean, and there are really shitty images there, some are actually useful and, in my opinion, belong to the wiki and not to some potentially unreliable external host: File:Colubo_letter.png, File:HarpyMonetName.png, or File:Mohji_RED.jpg. They are used to show some detail in the raw, or a romanization.

I agree, they're needed to see what's going on in talk page discussions. And linking them externally is unreliable since other sites don't have the same commitment to saving the images as we do. Wikia has infinite storage for our needs, let's use it. (Though, in cases where say 2 images are to be compared, and one has already been deleted, we should just delete the other since you can't compare one image to nothing.) 22:18, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

Those images that you linked Sff can stay, but some of the other ones (like pictures of the wiki) have to go. 03:14, February 12, 2013 (UTC)
