thread_title:  Audio + video lab? 

message: I've started a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film#SVG_film_posters regarding the potential for using SVG for film/movie posters. I'm soliciting feedback on an image I've already uploaded with an eye towards doing more if the example proves to be acceptable/popular. Please reply at the discussion there. Thank you! —Locke Cole • t • c 04:25, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  SVG film posters 

message: Hello everyone. I vectorised  and , and they now exist as SVG versions in  and . I specifically asked for the person requesting conversion to replace the images in the appropriate articles. However, this didn't happen, the request was just archived without further action. This left me with the situation that I did work to improve Wikipedia, but it didn't actually improve Wikipedia; all articles still had the old PNG files. Not good. So I just spent the last hour or so going through dozens of Wikipedias and manually replacing these. But even after this extemely tedious work, :File:Flag of Vladimir.png is still in use in over 200 articles, and :File:Coat_of_Arms_of_Vladimir_(Vladimir_oblast).png in about 20 articles. And then, while doing the replacement, I found two more PNG files,  and  (yes these are different files, with basically identical content), which together are in use in another 200 or so articles.
I am really exhausted (I am not a WP:GNOME!) and I can't continue. I am writing not because I want help, but because I am looking for a general solution to this problem. Who is responsible for replacing inferior images after the Graphics Lab created a superior version? The requester? The artist? Noone? This lack of a proper workflow really frustrates me and already does lessen my willingness to work on the Graphics Lab. Is there a solution? I am most certainly not the first in this situation. Do people just not care? --Lommes (talk) 14:31, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Colleague, hello! Unfortunately I couldn't provide the template  as the bot archived the request very quickly. The images have only replaced those that were added to the Wikidata service under a special article identifier. Where PNG was left locally, it is really, very long and tedious to replace it. I didn’t find a quick solution to this nuance either, and I don’t think it’s worth fooling around and manually changing pictures everywhere. Here I also want to thank you for your responsiveness and acceptable vector images, since the archive is not recommended to be edited. These files are not vectorized   and were considered at a different historical stage. They should not be associated with   and accordingly with  . – ArtSmir (talk) 18:56, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey, , you write "I don’t think it’s worth fooling around and manually changing pictures everywhere". That is a legitimate opinion, but if this is the consensus, I don't think its worth (for me) creating SVG replacements in the first place. I hate doing a bad or incomplete job, then i much prefer not doing it. --Lommes (talk) 14:42, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
