Maintenance
How is the maintenance of hotlinked vignette-URLs supposed to work, if the corresponding image is updated? Are the images listed as unused if they are only hotlinked? Could the hotlinked images still be ordinary links to the relevant pages in the File: namespace, e.g., with an additional parameter for the source name? – Dunnoob &#x1F4A9;  08:45, January 15, 2018 (UTC)


 * If the image is updated then the hotlinked version will eventually update as well unless a specific image revision is included in the hotlink URL, but yes they would be listed as unused if they were only hotlinked. These images could be made into links optionally (see w:c:diepio:Template:SIcon) but they’d have to be external links, so it would not benefit from Special:WhatLinksHere. Depending on what Kirkburn decides this template may be put out of use anyway though.
