Forum:Problem - a lot of unused images

There are now 102 files in Category:Candidates for deletion, 153 files in Category:Unused files, and 356 files in Special:UnusedFiles. We need to do something with that. Ruxax 11:08, June 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well most of the unused files can be found in the other 2 categories. I would say that the Unused files category, which is unproperly named and deals with the duplicate images, shall be one that should be taken care of in priority. Kdom 18:57, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

There are a lot of images used: What shall we do with them (regarding two issues: keep/delete and categorizing)? Ruxax 22:18, July 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * only at user pages;
 * only at talk pages.


 * Concerning talk page, they shall be kept, as they are generally here to illustrate the discussion. For the user page, it can be considered as vandalism to modify the another user page also most of these images does not follow the guidelines. But it's ok to let a bit of freedom on that area.
 * I choose to not categorize them, that is arguable but I think it is logicle for the user page since they are the property of the user who upload them.
 * Concernig the talk page I think it is important that the link refer to a historical version of the image like http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100424035128/onepiece/images/archive/1/1b/20100424065101!Current_Blackbeard.PNG in case a new version of the picture is uploaded.

 * I agree with you at almost all points, however categories like "Images used only at User pages" and "Images used only at Talk pages" could, probably, help to deal with large amount of currenly uncategorized files. Ruxax 19:46, July 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * I would like to have the opinion of Tipota on that matter. Personaly I have a table with them so that I can see which images are really uncategorized. Kdom 20:58, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

Just delete them all. Can't someone do that? I mean, is Mugiwara Franky the only admin with the authority to delete things like this, or is there someone else we can make the request? Yatanogarasu 21:34, July 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * We can't delete them since they are used. Some of them are useful to illustrate discussions. Kdom 21:54, July 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Then delete the ones that aren't in use. Yatanogarasu 22:12, July 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * well we are more or less up to date with regard to that point. There are only ~10-20 images which are unused and not candidate to delation Kdom 05:27, July 27, 2010 (UTC)
