Is anyone even using this?

Really?

I occasionally use the TvTropes one because sometimes it helps me, but ours is so barren and there is still such a large overlap between ours and TvTrope's content I usually use their's. So I think it is a page worth having in principle, but in practice it needs more information. I did ask a while ago for someone to get a bot to do most of it, but that didn't go anywhere.

What are you using it to do? Is there any way we could replace that with the image pages, like tagging them with the appropriate work's category?

Goo Monster (talkcontribs)

I don't remember. It's been a while. I assume it's if I remember what work an image is from but don't remember the trope, then I could find the page or the image. Looking at "What links here" would also probably work, but it takes much longer.

Tagging pictures probably works because they have "File:" in them and link to the pages they are used in. But that doesn't cover pictures in an image links page.

Which some of us are doing already.

Since nobody else has made a decision, I have.

I've added a list of what needs to be done to the list page. For each image:

  • tag the image with its trope
  • tag the image with its source
  • since these are all copyrighted works, add the "Fairuse" license to each image that doesn't have it
  • take the image off this list.

Once the list is empty, we can delete the page.

Okay, the list is empty, and has been for a few weeks now. But I see the page has a use as a home to discuss all matters related to linking to images and videos, so I'll leave it in place as a request to help clean up the images that don't have categories or licenses.
