| - Can someone tell me please whether orphaned images will be deleted automatically? I have just orphaned Image:Spinach_Roll.jpg|Spinach_Roll.jpg, and I want to know whether I should tag it with a template (such as {{Vfd}}) to say it should be deleted, or does the system periodically single out orphaned files and bring them to the attention of administrators? Thanks. :-) Leevclarke 23:37, 14 March 2008 (UTC) Nope, that doesn't happen. Usually an admin (me I think mostly, because I look for every chance to delete) will check out unused images and delete them. I try to check the page everyday, but I haven't been on recently. If you see an image that is unused, and has been for some time, and can't seem to find a use for it, then I suggest using {{D|Unused (or orphaned) image}}. A vote isn't necessary to be held for those usually though (but that's just my opinion).
