:It was inappropriate to mark someone's PI for deletion anyway: if {{tem|not-unused}} is being used in conjugation with ''any'' other image designation tag (Shroom, Awards, PI, MaroWiki, BJAODN, Template), then there's absolutely no reason to assume it's not legit (while ''actually'' suspect images should be dealt with on a case by case basis). The vast majority of the relatively small handful of images with the template are clearly Shroom backgrounds anyway, and so are found in the css rather than a given page, while others are awards images and will only be linked to externally on the forums. If the Shroom folks or whoever want to specify what issues special edition backgrounds are used for (for example), they can use {{tem|aboutfile}} or just type it into the Summary - either way, no need for an input in this template. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 18:36, 20 January 2016 (EST) | :It was inappropriate to mark someone's PI for deletion anyway: if {{tem|not-unused}} is being used in conjugation with ''any'' other image designation tag (Shroom, Awards, PI, MaroWiki, BJAODN, Template), then there's absolutely no reason to assume it's not legit (while ''actually'' suspect images should be dealt with on a case by case basis).

::I've seen both {{tem|shroom-image}} and {{tem|not-unused}} be used on 'Shroom images. {{tem|shroom-image}} already states not to mark it for deletion if it appears to be unused, making the additional {{tem|not-unused}} redundant. Also, I am talking with {{user|Henry Tucayo Clay}} about making sure the apparently unused {{tem|shroom-image}}s stop appearing in [[Special:UnusedFiles]]. As for {{user|Henry Tucayo Clay}}'s concern, I guess we can adjust the proposed policy to alert the user first that their image needs action taken within a certain time frame. I don't know how long that should be though. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 20:00, 20 January 2016 (EST) | ::I've seen both {{tem|shroom-image}} and {{tem|not-unused}} be used on 'Shroom images. {{tem|shroom-image}} already states not to mark it for deletion if it appears to be unused, making the additional {{tem|not-unused}} redundant.

:::Having the not-unused template for 'Shroom images is still useful because it means ''all'' url-linked images are grouped together, rather than being cut into two separate lists. Plus, extra warning signs never hurt anyone anyway. And just skip over appropriately tagged files appearing in the unused category: no need to bend over backwards when common sense will work perfectly fine. There's not ''that'' many not-unused images to worry about. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 20:22, 20 January 2016 (EST) | |||
