Perhaps even remove the "-specific" term and simplify to [[:Category:Guide files]]. MediaWiki has both [[mw:Help:Namespaces#Media|Media]] and [[mw:Help:Namespaces#File|File]] namespaces. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 20:03, 14 July 2022 (UTC) | Perhaps even remove the "-specific" term and simplify to [[:Category:Guide files]].

::Files. Media generally both through mediawiki and also as a general statement generally implies audiovisual content while Files implies a broader range of all file types. I would move to Files by guide, personally, if not Guide files. It could be contrasted to a files by type or files by license organization, in a more consistent way.

::I'm in favor of losing "specific." Maybe it's just the way I've been using the site all these years, but what files do we host on this site ''other than'' images? I haven't seen videos, text, or XML files uploaded to the site. Perhaps I missed it? Are there examples of such files? How do we integrate anything other than images into guides? I know for videos, people use the YouTube template. I'm not clear on what problem this solves.
