Firstly, I sincerely apologise for the delay that is the Invasion of the Image Macro. cool story, no?

The Image Macro project is back and a proper template will be imported to this wiki some time by April. To make sure that this project is managed successfully, I would like everyone to assist by replacing all the current image macros/meme images filenames with "Meme - Title-of-Image". For example, the current File:Problem of Invisibility.jpg should be renamed to "File:Meme - Problem of Invisibility.jpg" (without the quotation marks, obviously). Of course, you can try shorten the filename to "File:Meme - Invisibility.jpg". The shorter, the better. it allows the management process to run smoother and simpler. Don't abbreviate unless the meme itself is an abbreviation (i.e. TL;DR).

It's almost here. :D — subtank ^(7alk) 23:11, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, if you need help identifying a meme, see knowyourmeme.com. Don't import everything from that site though; we don't need every one of them in this wiki... >.>

A few of them I also made myself, they aren't known memes. Would they simply be titled the same?

Well, if they are of quality, why not? We can make it HaloFanon exclusive memes. :) — subtank ^(7alk) 23:54, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

Great! Hm, I don't seem to be sure how to move an image. Do I re-upload it under a new name, or is there a way to change the title that I'm missing?

Two methods:

Click the dropdown menu of Edit and click "Rename"; or
Put the following in your URL"http://halofanon.wikia.com/wiki/Special:MovePage/XXX" and replace XXX with the intended page.

Assuming that both don't work, put a deletion tag and upload a new file. Remember to replace all links. — subtank ^(7alk) 00:06, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

The former doesn't appear, trying the latter gives me this message:

“You do not have permission to do that, for the following reason:

You do not have permission to rename files.''”

― Trying the 2nd option.

Any idea why it does that?

Guess it only works with those having "Administrator" rights...— subtank ^(7alk) 20:57, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

I've never been able to rename files. I was under the assumption it was impossible

It is impossible if you're a normal user. It's not if you're an Administrator. Remember to suppress the redirect.— subtank ^(7alk) 20:57, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

Cool story, bro. Still, I'd have to admit that I am mad, bro. This is taking forever. I must admit that I can't help, however, as i am preoccupied with writing stories and such, however, bro. --Chris talk blog 01:12, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Subz, I hope this is the part where you filter out the ones that aren't funny.

And one other problem. Some of the images in the gallery are older and used for other, non-macro scenarios and have become quite popular. If we uploaded a duplicate under the formatted name and deleted the original, that would cause a lot of red links. So if you or another admin can rename images by redirecting, I suggest there be a section for images that need "renaming" so the admins can do it.
