ATTENTION FELLOW ADMINS!
I just wanted to ask if anyone knew of a good way to avoid this annoyance. I really think we should find a way to advise people to not upload pictures and give them vague names, such as this one Image:Cassie.JPG, and others: Image:Bree.jpg, Image:Breee.JPG, Image:Daniel.PNG, Image:Daniel.jpeg, Image:Daniel.jpg, Image:Daniel2x.jpg, Image:Dbeast.jpg, Image:Danielbeest.JPG, Image:Gemma.JPG, Image:Gemma.jpg, Image:Gemma2.jpg? Not to mention such gems as Image:000 0292.jpg, Image:0097.jpg, Image:0099.jpg, Image:0706061651a.jpg, Image:10-12-06 2131.jpg, Image:109.jpg, Image:110.jpg, Image:12-01Reveresed.jpg, Image:12-01UnReversed.jpg, Image:12111494.jpg, Image:126.jpg, Image:126b.jpg, Image:202634.jpg, Image:223728-edited.jpg. I'd defy just about anyone to tell me what those are without clicking on them to see. Names of files should be descriptive, and I'm wondering if there is a way to let users know before they take a still of Jonas from video 0153 showing him vaulting over a fence with an AK-47 into a pit of rattlesnakes while OpAphid looks on laughing and calling it by the oh-so-descriptive name of "Image:Jonas.gif". --Brucker 14:24, 8 February 2007 (CST)
- I've noticed that too, but I don't know how you can control how files are named. I can only think to perhaps put a note on the upload page to ask that people include the name of the subject of the picture (Jonas, Owen, bald deacon, wilted rose, box with symbol, etc) and the title of the video. That would at least help. Then Jonas.gif might be called Image:Jonas rattlesnakes Ambush The Order.

- Maybe I should move this discussion to the balcony, but it occurs to me that I'm seeing a trend in picture naming that I actually like. If a picture is a screencap of an lg15 video, it might be nice to use the convention of starting the name with the four-digit video number. Followed by a terse description, it would be very good. For instance, the above-named Image:0097.jpg is actually a close-up of Daniel from video 0097. If it were called 0097DanielCU.jpg, or something like that, it would be very descriptive, and also it would make it easier to find, etc. I'm certainly not going to suggest that we go back and rename all the old files, but if we could suggest a naming convention for new files, it might help simplify things (even if it's not the naming convention I suggest here.) -BRUCKER
