Forum:Uploading pictures that are not relevant

Hello,

One of the contrbutors on my Wiki is uploading pictures about cars and uses them for his own user page. These carpictures are not relevant to the Wiki, so is there a way to "hide" them from the other visitors? Or upload them in a seperate gallery? --Zantam03 15:32, May 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Have you already tried to talk to the user about this? That should be the first step. For those images, you can delete them, add them to a seperate category or add a template to them telling them they don't have anything to do with the wiki. Mark  ( talk ) 15:44, May 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * No I haven't talked to him about it yet, because I don't mind that he's uploading them for his own userpage, I just don't want them to appear in the image gallery (Special NewFiles). --Zantam03 15:48, May 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Why don't you want them appearing in Special:NewFiles?
 * Is it because you are using the Image slideshow widget on a public page? You can customize the slideshow not to show images you don't want. For instance, you could set the slideshow to show random images, instead of just the recent ones (that would make his images less likely to show) or you could make the slideshow display only images that are in a list at MediaWiki:WidgetSlideshowImages. You can find out more about this at Help:WidgetTag and Help:WidgetTag/parameters. ~Gardimuer 02:49, May 7, 2010 (UTC)
