@KatnissEverdeen: I saw you might be interested in improving this page, but I undid your edit because redlinks are invitations to add content that is missing from wikipedia. It would be great if you wanted to improve the redlinks situation by helping upload the images from USGS to wikimedia. I did it manually for one of the regions, and it was very tedious, so I've been very slowly working on a script to automate it (I am a poor coder). If you want to help by uploading the images, the ones for the regions are available at https://water.usgs.gov/wsc/sub/04xx.jpg, where xx is the subregion number (04 is the region number, and can be replaced with any of the other region numbers if you also would like to help with other regions). If you name the images from this water resource region you upload to wikimedia with the convention HUC04xx.jpg, then they will automatically populate on this page and fill out the red links (other regions would obviously need a change for the first 2 digits). Here is an example of a functioning link to an original USGS image. -Furicorn (talk) 20:04, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@

MOS:IMGSYN suggests that both are equivalent, but I'm interested to know if there is more info on this. -Furicorn (talk) 20:57, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply

Image: was, I believe, the older standard, the change to File: is not done manually. For the community's reasoning behind guidelines and policies, refer to the archives of the WT pages in question. Please remove the red links from

Missouri Water Resource Region. An alternative is to hide them, if you expect them to be forthcoming. Sam Sailor 22:34, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply

Ok well instead of reverting my reversion, I wish you had just slapped hide tags on the links you didn't like. I think I pretty clearly laid out that I thought the images would be forthcoming, since they already exist at USGS with the correct license and just need someone to do the tedious part of uploading all these different image files to wikimedia. -Furicorn (talk) 00:51, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
