:I don't understand why you uploaded replacement .png files for the Donkey Kong version screenshots when there was nothing wrong with them. Also, you did not complete the process, which was a mess. I know you're trying to be helpful, but byte saving techniques do not need to be applied retroactively. That's one reason Procyon or Prod haven't used their bots to change all Image->File for us. I do that to help teach people that Image is deprecated. The bonus is that it is byte saving. --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 20:20, 5 April 2014 (UTC) | :I don't understand why you uploaded replacement .png files for the Donkey Kong version screenshots when there was nothing wrong with them.

Hi RAP. Before I answer your question, I really want to thank you very much for taking on the task of converting those images and reuploading them. I appreciate that tremendously. It's actions like that that have made me consider you for nomination for administrator. You raise a very good question. I would say that if a screenshot of a clone only appears in the originating games guide, they should be categorized under the name of the game guide they appear in. Ultimately, if a clone or derivative work gets its own guide, the image itself can be re-categorized from one game to another. The game image categories are largely to make sure that no image goes uncategorized, and to make it easier to find similar images, since wading through the {{c|Screenshots}} category can be quite painful, especially if the filename starts with a letter near the end of the alphabet.
