Changing images
As you've probably noticed, changing a high-use image requires a few steps. The way not to do it, is to upload a duplicate image to a different filename. This means we have to delete one of them now. Here are the steps for renaming an image:
 * 1) Move the image to the correct name (i.e. MS Monster Deu.png → MS Monster Deo.png). You can use the "Move" tab at the top of the page.
 * 2) When you move a page, it creates a redirect. Click on the link to the old image (i.e. MS Monster Deu.png), go into edit, take out the redirect and put the delete template with an explanation of why it should be deleted (i.e. moved to a new name).
 * 3) Once you've gotten rid of the redirect and tagged it for deletion, go to the "What links here" link in the toolbar on the right-hand side of the page. This will give you a list of all the pages trying to use the old image name. Go to each of these pages and change the links or templates to refer to the new image name. A lot of times, especially in MapleStory, you won't find a link to the image because it is being transcluded from a template. Don't worry about those pages, because once you change the link in the template, that page will stop transcluding the old image.
