Files can also be linked to rather than displayed, and they'll show up as unused as well.--Hardvice (talk) 14:19, 10 January 2007 (EST)
- Yes... in that case, I'd hope that someone tags the image text as such.
- If we have an article that URL-links to an image within HeroesWiki (or a language derivative), then we can just add the [[Image:...]] here and it'll get out of the Unused list.
- If the link is from outside of HeroesWiki domain, call me mean, but I don't think we would want them to mooch bandwidth without getting the associated Article/Advertisements.
- Having dealt with this before, all I'm really asking for is to have the user put a note that they are direct linking to the file in the wiki text space, and then we can at least know that the image is being used. My only intent is to use the Special page's capability to locate stray images. --Orne 14:35, 10 January 2007 (EST)
