Discussion[edit]

Sounds like a useful task. I suspect that the {{orphan image}} tags haven't been maintained since Fbot stopped doing this some years ago. How is "orphaned" defined, completely unused or only unused in certain namespaces? --Stefan2 (talk) 11:02, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I defined unused to be no image links (i.e. code that produces a thumbnail of the image) in any namespace. -FASTILY 22:04, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So files with redirects are never orphaned? --Stefan2 (talk) 22:55, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure that's applicable; redirects are basically just wiki-links, which are different from file links -FASTILY 03:58, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial (40 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Might as well try it. — Earwig ^talk 18:02, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Trial complete. [1] -FASTILY 10:57, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I have checked those 40 diffs, and they look correct to me. --Stefan2 (talk) 18:16, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
