Wiki File Names

Dear All,

Please please name the picture files you load to the wiki with the Genus
name first. Mark McDonough and I still look at all the files each day to
remove the strange ones. We recently figured out a way to slow down on some
of the ones that were going up that didn't belong there. It's usually a
clue for us if it has a strange name. If I need to find a file later for
any reason it makes my job so much easier if I know where to look for it.
The logical way to find it is under the Genus name. We have so many files
now that looking through them is a chore.

Please please reference the wiki page instead of the file name when you
announce you have added to the wiki. If you list the files by name, then if
they are renamed later (which we no doubt will do eventually with John
Ingram's recent images), the link will no correct in the archives and
people won't find the picture. If you have referenced the page instead,
even if the file name is changed, people will still be able to find the
picture.

So I suggest you write a note like this:
I have recently added a number of pictures of Sinningia X to the wiki
Sinningia page and then reference it not the file names.

Thank you John for adding all these images for the topic of the week when I
know you are busy also for keeping your file size down. I am sure that all
the fans of Sinningia will be happy to look at them.
