Files and images on Commons vs. English Wikipedia

 * Commons:File:Mary Wollstonecraft by John Opie (c. 1797).jpg
 * [[Media:Mary Wollstonecraft by John Opie (c. 1797).jpg]]
 * Commons:File:Mary Wollstonecraft, by John Opie (circa 1797).jpg
 * [[Media:Mary Wollstonecraft, by John Opie (circa 1797).jpg]]
 * Since this is the English Wikipedia, the following are equivalent. Precede with a colon to avoid transclusion of the image:
 * en:File:Mary Wollstonecraft by John Opie (c. 1797).jpg
 * File:Mary Wollstonecraft by John Opie (c. 1797).jpg
 * File:Mary Wollstonecraft, by John Opie (circa 1797).jpg

The actual image itself (as opposed to the "File:" container that holds it) is stored (or can be dynamically resized?) in different sizes at different URLs, for example:
 * Wollstonecraft by John Opie (c. 1797).jpg/197px-Mary Wollstonecraft by John Opie (c. 1797).jpg 197 × 240 pixels version
 * Wollstonecraft by John Opie (c. 1797).jpg/393px-Mary Wollstonecraft by John Opie (c. 1797).jpg 393 × 480 pixels version
 * Wollstonecraft by John Opie (c. 1797).jpg full resolution

I think the way it works is this. The software uses the actual image stored on commons, if it exists. If not, it uses the local (English Wikipedia) image. If that doesn't exist either, then it allows an editor to upload an image, as at File:Mary Wollstonecraft, by John Opie (circa 1797).jpg. I don't know if different actual images with the same name are allowed to exist on both Commons and English Wikipedia at the same time, and if so, which takes priority when called up using "File:" syntax. Different "File:" containers are allowed to exist at the same time. In general, I believe that the local English "File:" container is intended to supplement the contents of the Commons container. – Wbm1058 (talk) 16:00, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Oh, I see. Category:Wikipedia files that shadow a file on Wikimedia Commons identifies 189 shadow files. For example, The local file takes priority when called up using "File:" syntax. See also: —Wbm1058 (talk) 16:38, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the proposal was procedural close. RM isn't the right forum for this. See Moving a page. --BDD (talk) 17:55, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

The file is under one name and file talk page is under another name. This needs to be moved to match the name of the file, but this needs to be done by an administrator because there's a redirect under the other name. The file doesn't meet any of the file renaming criteria on Commons (nor any of the file renaming criteria on Wikipedia), so the file itself can't and shouldn't be moved. --Stefan2 (talk) 14:15, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

I see. Pages in File: namespace (file description pages) which don't have attached media are candidates for speedy deletion: db-imagepage – Wbm1058 (talk) 01:09, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Special pages: Media reports and uploads

 * Special:SpecialPages
 * Special:ListFiles – File list – This special page shows all uploaded files of the English Wikipedia (See also the list for Wikimedia Commons). By default the last uploaded files are shown at top of the list. A click on a column header changes the sorting. Deleted files are not shown here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wbm1058 (talk • contribs) 23:57, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
