Forum:Placeholder problem

Hello, I finally found the duplicate images problem in my wiki. File:Placeholder causes new users to re-upload images already existing in the wiki. I was wondering how would users be prevented from duplicating images via the use of the placeholder? Mckrongs 17:35, May 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * I am not sure what you are asking here. The placeholder image is there just as that. It is a placeholder meant to be placed in infobox templates and the like. You can delete it if you wish but people are re-uploading existent images because they do not know they already exist, not because the placeholder is doing something --


 * For example, they use the placeholder. They find a certain image in the wiki, say "Pie.png". They fix the size, and then reupload it as "200px-Pie.png". I'm wondering how can this be avoided. Mckrongs 18:31, May 6, 2011 (UTC)
