:Heh. Yeah, that was a project, all right. I'd feel even more accomplished if I could get some of the artwork that's older than 0.11 (like the old versions of simulacra), but those tiles are probably lost to the mists of time by now. [[User:Spudwalt|--spudwalt]] 20:46, 3 May 2013 (CEST)

It's not a big problem, but if you know how to fix tiles without creating a bunch of redirects/duplicates, go for it :). I'm sure that it's possible, but don't know exactly how.
Also, here's how we update existing tiles. In MediaWiki, each uploaded file has its own page and supports multiple versions. Let's say you want to update Black Knight's barding. You open this page, [1], which is the same as Black knight barding.png, and click the "Upload a new version of this file" link to upload a new art. Black knight barding.png will show two versions of the tile, save the previous image locally. Note that sometimes it takes a couple of minutes for a file page to update, so it might show two identical tiles for a while. Then, on the Retired Artwork page, you add [[File:Old - Black knight's barding.png]] and upload the previous version of the tile there. If Retired Artwork already has an "Old - <something>" tile, name it "Old - <something> v2", etc.
This way all pages that have [[File:Black knight's barding.png]], e.g. List of unrands, will display the updated image automatically. I hope this helps. Ge0ff (talk) 22:34, 16 February 2024 (CET)
Thank you! I was able to upload new (plain) barding images this way, but I still can’t get File:Old to work. [[File:Old - Barding 2.png]] just gives a red link File:Old - Barding 2.png.

A red link means a missing page/image. Clicking a red link will give you a page for uploading the missing file. Ge0ff (talk) 08:23, 17 February 2024 (CET)
