As I mentioned [[User talk:TTEchidna/Archive Oct 07#Spammers|elsewhere]], you seem to have a real problem with vandalism lately. Autoconfirmation would probably really help, and maybe some other bits of security. I don't know very much about the inner workings of MediaWiki or anything, but if you need some advice, I can point you who to ask. I'm also a member of the [http://www.hrwiki.org/ Homestar Runner Wiki] (in fact, I'm a sysop there), and we had some severe problems just like this a while back. It's largely stopped now, due in part to our security tightening (the other part comes from dedicated users, which you don't seem to be in short supply of here). If you want some advice, direction, or anything on security of your own, I'd ask [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/User:It%27s_dot_com It's dot com], who is one of our developers and largely responsible for much of the maintenance and care of our wiki. I know he'd be glad to help you out, if he is able, and all you'd have to do is drop him a line on his talk page or email. This site has all sorts of awesome content, and I'd hate to see it ravaged by vandals on a frequent basis. So I'm tryin' to help you out a little.

A bigger example would be images in two edits on [[List of English opening themes]], specifically the first table and the two most recent edits of the article. The first table has links for 11 images. There are two different images for each opening available on the Archives, one with a .jpg extension and the other with a .PNG extension. 10 images have been uploaded at each extension (image 11 doesn't exist with either extension as of right now).

This could cause a problem for image uploaders, which could mean their work might never be seen on Bulbapedia despite being uploaded. | ||
