Wookieepedia:WookieeProject Images/Images to move

This page contains lists of files to move for various reasons.

=Guidelines=
 * 1) Extensions should be three characters and lowercase. ".jpg", not ".JPG" or ".JPEG"
 * 2) Include a source in the filename if it is reasonable to do so. If "31243124124.jpg" is a picture of "Bob" from the "Yada Campaign Guide," move it to "Bob-YCG.jpg"
 * 3) Ideally, filenames should only have one period in them, to denote the extension.
 * 4) Non-alphanumeric characters are the enemy. No & or + or % or @ or, in replacement names, EVER.
 * 5) Try to avoid apostrophes if it is plausible and convenient to do so. Some clients don't handle them gracefully.
 * 6) If the system warns you that the new filename has a technical problem (identical to existing name, wrong MIME type for extension, whatever), LISTEN TO IT.
 * 7) Consider just deleting the file if you can think of any excuse to. Less is more.
 * 8) Don't move a file unless you're going to edit all references to the original name, including user pages, excluding stupid galleries or pseudo-galleries.
 * 9) Don't move userpage-only images unless there's a technical reason to, not a "would be nice" reason to. (This means that user images should be removed from the "just a random alphanumeric" section when found, but not from the "identical with different case" section or the "ampersands must die" section. At last check, they were already all done in the "starts with apostrophe" section, but that is a technical reason for future reference.)
 * 10) Delete old versions before moving to make for cleaner exports if that's ever necessary.
 * 11) Always suppress file redirects. We're trying to clean things up, not make more of a mess.

=The list= When adding images, list them by number of pages to be edited, then alphabetically.

Misspellings
These can be hard to find, since filenames can be smushed. Any that were noted on talk pages should be gone now.

Slash
Shouldn't even be possible. Any that we had were artifacts of a bad upload form implementation and we should never have any again.

Ampersand
Ampersand is used in forming action URLs for MediaWiki. Bad idea to have in a page or file name if it can be avoided.

Plus sign
Same deal as ampersand, but without even the slightest possibility of being a valid part of a title like in Pirates & Privateers and such.

Comma
Might not screw up URLs (haven't really researched) but not a good idea for any sane filesystem. If we ever need to port the file database (which will happen one day, mark my words), we want to avoid any characters used in the command line operations of any common OS.

Includes "image" or "file" or other generic strings
Often indicative of being imported from another wiki or website, in which case they may be rescaled or otherwise crappified.

Double extension
Things like .jpg.jpg are stupid and annoying.

Pixel size in filename without valid technical reason
Limits future validity if file is replaced, also indicates rescaling on import, just generally bad.

Space before extension
This is just confusing for editing purposes. No valid reason to allow it.

Filename starts with apostrophe for no apparent reason
Also usually indicative of a bad upload form implementation, which shouldn't happen any more.

Filenames exactly the same as other files but in different case combinations
Want to port your database to ExFAT or NTFS? If there are case collisions, TOO BAD!
