As for the 1284 unused files... I'm thinking that we could start

in the Wiki for years, or content that is clearly not related to OOo.
My impression is that the wiki is used sometimes by project members to
quickly upload files and especially pictures they want to show/share
with the community (UI mockups or similar). So file cleanup should not
be to rigorous, I'd suggest to start with files > 1 year old. Another
possibility is to ask the authors of the files if they still need them
to link to them from their userpages.
If project members are uploading files to share within the project, then
they should link those images on a Wiki page somewhere... if they don't
want to put it on a main wiki page (eg if it 's a temp/test/example file
for a discussion), then they should link them on a subpage of their user
page. A correctly linked image shows that it's at least of enough
interest that someone bothers to put it on a page. Uploaded files that
are no longer in use should be deleted (or marked to be deleted).
I agree... start with the old images... a judgment call should be made
on each image:
- Is it unrelated?
- Yes = delete immediately
- Is it related to OOo but unused?
- Delete if it's older than 12 months
- If it is 4-12 months old, mark it with the {{delete}} tag (or we
could create a new Template similar to the {{PageIgnoresWikiGuidelines}}
Template specific for uploaded files that are unused)
- If it is 0 to 4 months old, contact the owner and:
- Request they link it on a page if it's to be used, or
- Mark it {{delete}} if it's not going to be used
Actively deleting is a task that any of us with admin rights can do.
Marking files to be deleted with the {{delete}} tag can be done by anyone.
Once the backlog is cleared up, monitoring the unrelated/unlinked files
will be a simpler admin task.
