Wiki photos


 

Is there a particular location/folder where photos on wiki pages reside?? I see the obscure?URL.? Can we get to them?
I ask because using MediaWiki, if I need to edit or change an image, I just upload a revised photo that?replaces the one saved, instead of uploading an additional photo.?

I don't mind uploading a "new" photo but would like to remove/clean up the old junk, I mean content, that is no longer used.

Ken,

Is there a particular location/folder where photos on wiki pages
reside? I see the obscure URL. Can we get to them?
Not that I know of.

I don't mind uploading a "/*new*/" photo but would like to
remove/clean up the old junk, I mean content, that is no longer used.
I just delete the old photo from the page and paste in the new one. It never occurred to me that the old might still be hanging around somewhere.

Other than using an exceptionally large photo so that I can see the effect in my usage stats I'm not sure how to test this. And even then you'd have to test carefully, as there might be an arbitrary delay between deleting the photo and garbage-collection and/or update of the usage stat.

You can test by saving the url?of the image (rt click)
delete, paste in a new one
save
ck the new pic?urln against the old (likely a different?url?)
wait a few days, and?ck?if the old url still displays the old image, or redirects you to the home page.
