COLLAB: Get rid of Images' redirects

[Dardy]

As per:

Important thing to do is check for redirects as linking to redirects of images WILL NOT BE COUNTABLE on the image itself check this for File:SMS_ScuttleBug.JPG

and :

Good point.

And that's why anyone moving images around MUST update the links and then mark the redirect for deletion, and try to keep image moving to a minimum to begin with: most renames I've seen are really frivolous...

I think all image redirects should be deleted, however first, the image redirects MUST BE FIXED FIRST in the articles before deleting/marking them with {{delete|Unnecessary redirect}}. Some images may be used on other users' userspace. But I think those can just be ignored

EDIT: and while we are cleaning, we may rename other images to better names

For a list of Image redirects, see here

As a general notice, don't tag files/redirects for deletion if you haven't replaced all links you could.

 

[Shoko]

Expanding on what Tucayo said, please disregard any file links to userspace other than your own: it's not worth the trouble to try and update them all. Thanks!

 

[Dardy]

that what I said on my post "Ignore" = "disregard"

I know this is a month after the last post, but would it be an idea to add File Redirects into the Specials Pages page under Maintenance reports?

 

[Dardy]

I thought of that earlier, just put this request on Requesting edits for locked pages.

However: I just came to that. right now, image redirects are shown in the File's Image Usage.. so this Collab won't be active

 

[Duskull]

I've just gone and put the delete tag on all of them there, so it's done, for now
