RE: Moving Images
Hi Jay,

Good question, yes, it is possible to move an image. It follows the same procedure as moving other pages, which is to click the arrow next to Edit and select Rename. The difference here is that after you rename an image, if it's already inserted on a page, it may not display correctly since it is still under the old name on that page. In order to fix this, you would have to go to every page that contains the image and fix the any links to that image by replacing the old file name with the new one. This may sound pretty annoying, however it is much easier to do this with the assistance of Special:WhatLinksHere. On this page, you can type in the old name of the file (i.e. File:Name.png) and see all of the pages that currently link to it. You would then go through each page and fix up the links. I hope this helps, if you have any other questions or if I still did not answer your question, feel free to send me another message. Thanks and keep up the great work.

 * Actually, I'm sorry, scratch that -- You don't have to go through every page and fix the links. It should work just fine as long as you leave a redirect behind. Although, that page I linked can still be pretty useful in many other cases. Just curious, what exactly went wrong when you were trying to move the image? Apologies for the mistake.  Alxeedo   TALK  22:28, August 6, 2016 (UTC)
 * Apology accepted, no worries. Let me walk you through the situation. I was on PlayStation Network's page and I noticed that the name of the file of the current logo at the time was [[File:PlayStation Nework 2015.png]] . I clicked on the down arrow next to "Edit", and the 2 options were "History" and "Replace". I did not see the word "Move", which is what I wanted to do. Rather than do that, I tagged the image under the "speedy deletion" template, then uploaded [[File:PlayStation Network 2015.png]] . I also attempted to redirect it today, but the picture obviously did not go away. I want to move other misspelled images in the future and not make this mistake again. What should I do? NewYorkCity101 (talk) 22:55, August 6, 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see what happened. Only administrators can move images. Completely forgot about this until now. So in this case, what you did is actually a good solution. Mark the old image for speedy deletion, citing the reason as that you want to reupload with a new name. Then upload the new image under whatever name you wish. Then use Special:WhatLinksHere to go through and fix anywhere where the old image is linked, replacing the links with the new image. In your case, you would want to go to Special:Whatlinkshere/File:PlayStation Nework 2015.png. There are no links here since you fixed all of them.
 * An alternative solution may be to, if an administrator is online, leave a message on one of our talk pages and ask us to rename the image or images in question for you. This may be easier to do on your part, since you would no longer have to go through each individual link and fix it, or wait for the old file to be deleted. Hope this helps. Also, one more tip: In the future, if you want to link to an image without actually displaying it on a page, you can type . (Looks like File:PlayStation Network 2015.png) Inserting a colon in front of the File prefix does the trick. Once again, feel free to ask away if you have any other questions. Will delete that old, misspelled image for you in a moment.  Alxeedo    TALK  23:18, August 6, 2016 (UTC)


 * Also, one more thing: Another solution is to redirect the old image to the new image. I know you said you tried this and it didn't work. However it does work if you use the colon trick I mentioned above, and you don't have anything but the redirect in the page (no Delete templates or anything). Thought I should mention this too.  Alxeedo   TALK  23:23, August 6, 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for your help throughout this situation, I truly appreciate it. I have been having a couple situations on this wiki lately with images as I am still very relatively new to it. I do not want to annoy you and make you fix every little thing; just really would like to help this wiki. I'll let you know if I need anything else, thanks again. NewYorkCity101 (talk) 23:50, August 6, 2016 (UTC)
 * It's my pleasure. Answering questions and helping others out is a big part of why I love being an administrator here, so I am always here to help.  Alxeedo   TALK  00:11, August 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks again, I am glad to know I have some sort of friendly relationship with the Logopedia founder if you know what I mean. Do you mind if I ask for your help with a few other things? Again, I do not want to bother you, so I understand if you say no at this time. NewYorkCity101 (talk) 00:21, August 7, 2016 (UTC)

Feel the same way here. :) Yes of course, ask away. Just know that I am bouncing back and forth between different tasks, so I apologize if I don't respond immediately.  Alxeedo   TALK  01:13, August 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * It's all good, I've been doing the same thing. Two things right now, actually. I came across File:MTV Logo 2010.svg and noticed it was extremely small. I found a higher resolution of it at, but the file could not be uploaded. I've tried it multiple times on different computers, but it just does not work. Also, I noticed that File:Science chanell 2011logo.png is spelled wrong. Fearing that I will make the same mistake again, would you mind helping me out with these requests? Thanks again, NewYorkCity101 (talk) 02:11, August 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * Hmmm. Why were you unable to upload the file? Did an error come up on Logopedia? If so, what error came up? If not, what tool/page were you trying to upload the image through? Was it the in-article editor, or Special:Upload? I was able to upload it here, feel free to use this. There's a variety of possible reasons why you may have had trouble, it could be that you accidentally saved the file in an incorrect format, it could be your internet connection, or there may be some issue with Wikia's servers. However if you can give me a bit more detail about what exactly went wrong, I can try to solve the issue for you or give you some recommendations. As for the second file, I've fixed the spelling. Hope this helps.  Alxeedo   TALK  02:27, August 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * I think the problem was that I attempted to overwrite an SVG image since what you uploaded was a PNG. I'll consider that in the future, but thanks again for all the favors you have done for me today, I appreciate it. I'll let you know if I need anything else in the future. Thanks, NewYorkCity101 (talk) 03:08, August 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * Ah, that could be it. Yea, sometimes weird errors can happen with images. It's my pleasure, I'm always here to help if you need it. And if I'm for whatever reason not available, anyone at Logopedia:Administrators can help.  Alxeedo   TALK  03:35, August 7, 2016 (UTC)

The reason the ability to rename images is locked down to content moderators and administrators because it would open up possibilities of vandalism by other users who attack wikis and Wikia wants to reduce chances of move page abuse. So that's why Wikia turned it off for non-admins.--Muzzarino 03:59, August 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * I can understand that. Thank you for letting me know. NewYorkCity101 (talk) 04:10, August 7, 2016 (UTC)

RE: MTV Logo Issues
Hi Jay,

It looks like Mcfaddenskyler took care of the issue; is this correct? You were likely having an issue with XML errors due to the fact that you were attempting to upload a PNG image as an SVG without properly converting it. The image you found on Wikimedia Commons, although it has ".svg" in the name, is actually a PNG image. So in order to convert it to an SVG, you would have to run it through software or an online converter. Then you would be able to properly upload it to Logopedia. The reason why SVG images are preferred on Logopedia is because they are one of the highest-quality image file formats, due to their vector graphics. If you have any remaining questions or need further assistance, I'm here. :)  Alxeedo   TALK  18:36, August 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh okay, that makes a lot of sense. Yes, Mcfaddensyler did take care of the issue. I think this is the only picture that was a ".svg.png" mistake I saw, so this probably will not happen again. Also, changing the subject with another question, I tagged a handful of pages for moves over the last month. I did not see them discussed in their respective talk pages and none of them have been moved. Is there an easier way to get a discussion? Please get back to me as soon as you can. Thanks, NewYorkCity101 (talk) 18:43, August 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay, glad to hear that it's all taken care of. In regards to the tagging pages for move, it is sometimes better to just move the page, and in the "reason" box, write why you moved it. Then, if someone opposes your actions, that is when a discussion can occur on the talk page. I am currently going through the process of cleaning up the administrative templates, but I haven't gotten to the move templates yet. As of right now, I don't think too many people are looking at the candidates for move category, which is why the pages you tagged aren't getting too much attention. I do plan to go through it some point soon and make a decision regarding what should and shouldn't be moved, however, for now, feel free to move whatever you think should be moved. Hope this makes sense.  Alxeedo   TALK  19:39, August 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your permission :). The reason I tagged those pages specifically are because I am having trouble moving them just so you know. NewYorkCity101 (talk) 19:45, August 7, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Syfy Logo Upload Trouble
OK. I resized the logo for you. Mcfaddenskyler (talk to me ) 12:06, August 10, 2016 (UTC)

RE: Syfy Logo Issues
Hi Jay,

I'm sorry that I didn't respond in time, I was gone for a few days due to a family crisis in real life. It looks like Mcfaddenskyler helped you out, however let me know if there is anything you still need. Thanks,  Alxeedo   TALK  19:04, August 12, 2016 (UTC)


 * Yes, Mcfaddenskyler did help me with the Syfy logo issue, thank you. I understand that you had a situation, and while I will not ask exactly what, I am very sorry for you. NewYorkCity101 (talk) 19:15, August 12, 2016 (UTC)


 * Glad to hear the situation is resolved. Thank you so much, I appreciate that.  Alxeedo   TALK  19:17, August 12, 2016 (UTC)

RE: Disambiguation Pages
Thanks so much, that really means a lot to me. In my opinion, there are really two times when it is necessary to create disambiguation pages. The first is when there are several different companies, brands, or entities with the same name/abbreviation (i.e. ABC). The other situation is when there is one company/brand under a single name that has different logos/logo histories depending on the region. So I believe you are justified in creating all of these disambiguations. There are just a few things you need to be careful with. First of all, if a company is active in two regions, but the company has the same logo in both regions, it only needs one page. This is why I am a bit unsure about, for example, AMC (United States) and AMC (UK and Ireland). I know that the latter page states that the channel just began in 2015, yet it still is a duplicate logo of the prior page. In this situation, I would delete or redirect the latter page and add a statement in the prior page saying that, "as of 2015, AMC in the UK and Ireland now uses this logo as well." Something like that. It may also be a good idea to move AMC (United States) to American Movie Classics, and add this template to redirect the user to AMC (Latin America) if they're looking for that. I'm going to do all of this, however if you have any suggestions or changes you think should be made, feel free to chime in. Next, whenever you move pages or disambiguate them, please ensure that you scroll to the bottom to check for navigation templates. If there is one or more, you may want to update the navigation template to ensure it links to either the disambiguation or the correct page. Hope all of this makes sense, I know I kind of rambled on earlier. <font family="Exotc350 Bd BT" color="#7F0000"> Alxeedo   TALK  00:17, August 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * I was actually thinking something similar when moving pages in the future, thank you. Now I don't mean to undo your work, but fearing that it will cause controversy, I had to move back American Movie Classics to AMC (United States) and the same with the Latin American version because the full name is not in use anymore. I did something similar to what I did for AMC to A&E, Adult Swim, Fox, and others. I do not want a primary subject for TNT, however, as a Russian TNT that is completely different from what we know exists. In other words, I guess you could undo my work in some ways.

Hey
Make sense, however I think we should only merge Southeast Asia and India since they are similar networks in the same region. Toonami France is a noticing different channel from those two and it's far away from theirs. I suggest we merge Toonami Southeast Asia and India into Toonami (Asia) and mention the specific areas within the article. --Invader Rob II (talk) 04:04, August 20, 2016 (UTC)

Dove
In case you didn't know, I decided to rename Dove (soap) to Dove (tolietries). The article was named Dove (tolietries) on Wikipedia so I decided to move it. Anyways, thanks for making the disambiguation page. <font face="Trebuchet MS" color="royalblue">Mcfaddenskyler (<font face="Trebuchet MS" color="red">talk to me ) 11:20, August 20, 2016 (UTC)
