Actually, Podaci, I have never seen any specific naming convention for images on this wiki. The only thing that was in the 'current' Ediitng Guidelines concerning the naming of images concerned the article images only and the rule was that each image uploaded for 'the content' must have an extension of .PNG. This has proved problematic for some editors as it did require that images be uploaded prior to the actual edit that used them or their extenstions were changed back to .png. Why?, because an upper-case extension is not standard. Personally, I have adhered to that policy, but I believe that until fairly recently, very few of the newer images were uploaded with that strict naming convention.

For articles, though, following the naming conventions observed on the page or a similar page has been the 'rule of thumb'. Collections images are an excellent example of a 'content naming convention schema' and has served us well. but it is exacting and can easily be uploaded with a slitght inconsistency that will require an image file rename which requires coordination with an admin..

But, there have never been any specific naming comventions for wall and Forum image postings. As the wiki has grown into a larger part concentrated on the social networking part of this wiki, so has the numbers of images. I'm sure that AAA is quaking at this whole subject as I know that it is probable that Foss's vision was to maintain this wiki as a game content only site, but that is really 'water under the bridge' at this point.

While researching my early interchange with Foss, I have found that apparently I got an email from Foss rather than a posting on my wall (which is weird because I was so new and did not have my email posted, and I have since been told that the admins do not have access to members' email addresses, so I don't know how that email was sent, but probably through some part of the admin/bureaucrat dashboard, but mmmmm, now that I think about it.

I no longer have that email from Foss, but I posted my concern about her email to me on Foss's wall where we had a small interchange about images.

Since Foss's retirement, there has not been any moderation that I know of concerning uploading images for profiles, walls and the Forums. I attempted to do this twice that I know of, but was summarily ignored. Since I was not an admin, there was very little else that I could do.

P.S. The right question to ask, Podaci and I would have given you a thumbs up for askng it, but we are here on a private wall instead of in the Open Forum, so I gave you the accolade here.
