Images, along with other uploadable multimedia objects, are no longer uploaded on the individual wikis. They are all now centralized onto a "Media Repository". Because of this this Island of misfit Images no longer will work properly because there are no images associated with the English Wiki. The Island of misfit Images now holds a listing of currently created "User Galleries". Images and multimedia stuff that has been uploaded in bulk.

Currently there is no auto-generated list of files not being used.

Image being used?

If you goto an image, for instance, Image:User_Shane.jpg on the media wiki, you will notice three tabs at the top. This will link back to the wiki that you select. You then be directed to the image on the Wiki itself, and by looking at the "Link" pages section you can tell where this image is being used.

Upload and Tagging Guidelines

There are three guidelines for mulimedia objects. They are located here:

Image Upload Guidelines
Audio Upload Guidelines
Video Upload Guidelines
