Guild Wars Wiki talk:Not orphaned

Request review of last four images. :) - B e X   03:35, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Request explanation of why this page exists. A simple use-case will suffice. :) &mdash;Tanaric 22:48, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Use-case: See the 'link to the image' on this page and notice that that image shows in this article. I chose not show the entire picture there, but the consequence is that it shows up on the Special:Orphaned-page. Not too sure this is the best solution for that specific problem, but it shows how images can be 'not orphaned', but still in use. -- [[Image:User Corrran sig.png|CoRrRan]] (CoRrRan / talk) 23:02, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Good enough for me, thanks for indulging my curiosity. &mdash;Tanaric 01:13, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Basically myself, and some others, perform cleanup by tagging orphaned images on the special list for deletion, as they are no longer needed, or redundant due to replacement of a different naming scheme. By putting the false positive images here, they won't crop every time we check the list. -- Lemming [[Image:User Lemming64 sigicon.png]] 01:18, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

This Page or Category
Request for comments of what you think is better: This page, or using a template (not orphaned) on the image pages, which adds them to a category and prevents them from showing up on the special page? poke | talk 08:35, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * The latter. This page comes across as an obviously clumsy workaround of mediawiki shortcomings; a template would be much preferred.
 * And with a template, you could make it a selectable option on the upload screen. - Auron 08:38, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm, maybe we should not tell the users how to prevent an image from being detected by our orphaned image-searchers :D poke | talk 08:42, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Implemented the template and added the category. What do you think? :) poke | talk 09:08, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * This looks good too. Let's go with the category, it seems to be cleaner anyway. --[[Image:User PoA Sig.png|Talk]] Antioch 06:21, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
