# [[wikipedia:Royal_we|We]] are in the process of replacing the system of subpages under Images with categories. So, for instance, the [[Images/In-Game/Talking Heads]] should all be in the category [[:Category:Talking heads]]. Then we can delete the Talking Heads subpage. At that point, all the images in Talking Heads will fall into the [[Special:Unusedimages|Unused images]] list. We can probably solve that by just listing all images at [[Images]], and directing the user to look at the image [[Special:Categories|categories]] to browse them by type. | # [[wikipedia:Royal_we|We]] are in the process of replacing the system of subpages under Images with categories.

# Categorize [[Special:Uncategorizedimages|uncategorized images]]. This is overlapping with the item above, but the point is, we will be deleting any image that can't be categorized (since that means it has no place on the wiki). | # Categorize [[Special:Uncategorizedimages|uncategorized images]]. This is overlapping with the item above, but the point is, we will be deleting any image that can't be categorized (since that means it has no place on the wiki). That not only includes all the images that are linked to from Images and its subpages, but wiki-support images like this little [[:Category:Mysteries needing discussion|mystery]] item: [[:Image:RS-table.png]]. | ||
# Categorize [[Special:Categories|categories]]. We don't want to go nuts here, of course. Wikipedia has a crazy-complex tree of categories. We don't want that. All we want are a second level of categories that separate the base level of categories. So, when we look at the main Categories page, we don't see categories like "Art by Guido" next to "Tables". Unless you have a good grasp of what each template does, you can just leave this to me ([[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]]). | # Categorize [[Special:Categories|categories]].
