Discussion

• The wiki needs a central location to discuss issues so people aren't bouncing all over the place. This page can be it.
• Please remember to use ==section headers== for new topics of discussion.
• When replying to a post, please also indent your messages by placing colon : in font of them to create pseudo-threading that is easier to read and follow.

Like this.

Formatting

• How do I redirect a photo to another photo? I had this issue when all the fish pages were trying to use their own image for their own fish even though all fish use the same graphic. It seems Phox fixed that, but I would like to know how he did it so I don't have to upload a separate image for something that uses the same graphic. --Coleslaw35 (talk) 05:17, 19 July 2016 (CEST)

• @Coleslaw35: You just redirect them like any other page. Example on File:Trout.png:

#REDIRECT [[File:Fish.png]]

Documentation for redirects is found here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Redirects ~ Phox (talk) 23:44, 19 July 2016 (CEST)

• Thanks! I appreciate the help. --Coleslaw35 (talk) 03:54, 23 July 2016 (CEST)
