So does File: do everything that Image: does? Is Image: unsupported, deprecated, or what? And how should I have known this? Is there a forum I need to be following so I don't get blindsided by stuff like this?

I just checked Wikipedia, it says here that File: and Image: are interchangeable. Is that not true for Wikia? I think for the current templates, not portable templates(I don't know much about those), File and Image is interchangeable. I'm not sure when the change was made, but I always found using image in its name redundant. If I'm not mistaken, yes, File deos everything Image does. I'm not sure if it was ever mentioned, but by visiting and editing on newer wikis, one should be able to tell that they're being fazed out. The only sure fire thing I can think of is to keep an eye on Wikia's Technical Updates, as something like that should show up there.
