This is the follow up to: Forum:SH:CON tweaks and vote notice templates

TLDR:

• Make more formal tagging templates a la {{ImageVote}} for other, similar, things, but it has to be formally voted in so we can put it in the admin how-to guide and etc etc. [more words here]/draft workbench.

Actual summary:

• Create {{FileVote}} - talk page usage; basically {{ImageVote}} for files that aren't static images—like gifs (example here, at bottom)
• Create {{FileVoteNotice}} - attention field ({{Information}}, file pages; easier tracking/logging of what gifs have been approved and where (example here, at bottom)
• WP:CON - small tweaks; an Imp wording tweak proposed on a prior SH, logging animation/video (gif) votes on CON, since image infobox votes/template votes aren't the only type of file votes onsite, so if those two types are there, may as well document them all.
• WP:PROTECT (changes in bold) - "Files used in an Interactive Map approved via community consensus in a {{MapVote}} should be protected and marked with {{InteractiveMapImage}} to preserve the vote's chosen outcome."
• Create {{InteractiveMapImage}} - attention field ({{Information}}, file pages; easier logging for images upload-protected by maps policy (due to a different dimension messing with coordinate-based markings, so per policy, we lock 'em after CT) — (example here, at bottom)
• Update admin how-to guide accordingly (with the templates, saying to use them).
• Accompanying tracking categories for the new templates
