Template talk:Not-unused
Why category "Quality requested"?
Why are all images with this template in the category "Quality requested"? I see the category appears in the templates source code, but what's the reason? Or is it just an oversight? --Grandy02 12:01, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
- That is indeed me doing sloppy copying of templates. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 20:14, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
Specify Location The Image Is Being Used (Optional Parameter)

Since this template is about protecting MediaWiki-specific unused images, should this template have an optional but recommended parameter to specify where the image is being used? --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) 04:45, 25 December 2015 (EST)
- This would be quite useful for maintenance purposes. --

- I also noticed I can edit this template. I usually don't edit templates. Should I add the code to allow for the additional parameter? --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 16:38, 20 January 2016 (EST)
- Not until there's more support. You could ask Walkazo (talk) or Glowsquid (talk) for their opinion. --™ The 'Shroom 16:41, 20 January 2016 (EST)
- I think a better idea is to start a proposal. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 16:44, 20 January 2016 (EST)
- Sure, that works too. --™ The 'Shroom 16:45, 20 January 2016 (EST)

Specifically, I came across File:Shiver Snowfield Mirrored.png. It has both {{personal-image}} and {{not-unused}} as tags. I couldn't find where the file was linked to. It looked abandoned. I tagged it with {{delete}} anyways. Henry Tucayo Clay (talk) disagreed with my tag and promptly removed it. It got me thinking about having an additional parameter specifying where exactly the image is being used. Any image with {{not-unused}} without specifying where the file is linked to is subject to an investigation where the file is being linked to. If nothing is found, the image is subject to deletion. Additionally, this parameter can be used to check if the image is still being URL-linked periodically. This should help people digging through Special:UnusedFiles.
