This template places a Banner template indicating that the image is a duplicate of another image.
Use this template to mark an image for deletion on the basis of being a duplicate. Place the text {{Duplicate|Other File}} adding a link to the image it is a duplicate of in place of Other File. For images, the template must be linked as and the "image:" section of the link changed to "media:" to prevent the image being displayed in the template. The article or image will then be automatically added to the "Delete" category.
As a guideline, check the "links" section at the bottom of the page, and tag the one that is linked to the least number of times; ideally, you should also change all links to the tagged image into links to the other version, so no pages are left with broken images when the duplicate is deleted. If the pages or images are identical, check the history tab, and place the template on the one that was started or uploaded most recently.
There are many others like it, but this one is mine. This article or image is a candidate for deletion, because one or more editors feel it is a duplicate of existing content at [[{{{1}}}]]. |
