I'm not 100% sure what is going on so I'm just going to leave this note here: I was going to start updating all the poorest quality old images with somewhat better ones from the scans I made from the media Mases and I have... but currently, 2 out of 3 of them, have not updated to the newer version. They just look like scaled up versions of the old image ...even though the thumbnail quality updates. It doesn't seem to be a cache problem on my end. (I know it may lay with me, I'm going to keep trying to figure that out) so there's a chance it may be a wiki bug? As in, when I googled this, I'm reading that some people are reporting the images queues and then updates within a day. ?Shrug? Source below. I have no idea, I have no experience with wikis but I figure it wont hurt to see if that just happens. I would try the other suggestions but I don't want to break any links or pages. So, basically, I'm going to give it some time before I upload anything else: no reason for me to make edits that aren't a net positive. If that doesn't do anything I'll contact someone eventually and ask but, also, if anyone knows if there's something I can do to keep this from happening, I would love to hear more!

:This has been pretty constant of late - sometimes it updates immediately, sometimes within a day or so, sometimes it can take forever. The only reliable workaround I've found is to move the image, which forces the server to recache. - [[User:Sanityormadness|Sanityormadness]] ([[User talk:Sanityormadness|talk]]) 20:33, March 18, 2021 (UTC) | |||
:For the record, I'm seeing 3/4 as having updated now. ([[:File:MoaFire-Futabasha-AOL.png]] is the exception) - [[User:Sanityormadness|Sanityormadness]] ([[User talk:Sanityormadness|talk]]) 20:37, March 18, 2021 (UTC) | |||
::Cool! (And thanks for the reply, I'm still learning how this all works.) What would be the preferred way I handle this? I mean, now that I know they update eventually, I'm fine doing it this same way. (It's not like anything I'm going to be adding is urgent) But, if there's a better way, let me know. Also, wow, the digital high res images you've added to some areas are amazing. From the Art and Artifacts book. Can I ask you where/how you're getting them? Saw the quality on those and was blown away (I may know but I'm not sure.) If you don't want to discuss it here my email is melorasworld at gmail. If I had a source/way I would be happy to continue to add those to the places they're still needed in here. Mases can vouch for me. For the past 20 years I've popped on to the internet, every few years, to get a ton of Zelda image work done and it just kicked in again.

:::Yeah, I recognise the name, I've seen your Flickr :p [PS: E-mail sent] | |||
:::Speaking of, is this the best scan you have of https://www.flickr.com/photos/historyofhyrule/9267679620/in/album-72157629221314979/ ? I'd like to use it as the Fire Shield image here, since it matches the game much better. - [[User:Sanityormadness|Sanityormadness]] ([[User talk:Sanityormadness|talk]]) 00:09, March 19, 2021 (UTC) | |||
::::Haha, awesome! I just wanted to throw it out there because I wanted to seem super serious because, in general, I understand how people can get a lot of requests and sometimes get burned out on replying because a lot of time nothing comes of it because it was never serious. That image- Humm, it probably is my best one. My files are a mess right now, I'm in the middle of re-arranging everything, (I don't know how it got so bad, lol. but it's why I'm uploading slowly. I find things while trying to organize them better) and my actual books are all in storage after moving. I'll poke around and see if I can find the folder with that set of scans though and probably get back to you tomorrow. Also, just to be super clear: feel free to use anything I have and always keep on asking! BTW, I also got everything I was asking about. Yay! Some of the other ones were big files but extremely poorly compressed, so I'll have to scale them down, but they're still amazing compared to what I was expecting. Thank you again. I'm slowly going to be working on all of this. [[User:Melora|Melora]] ([[User talk:Melora|talk]]) 05:50, March 19, 2021 (UTC) | |||
