:It works just fine, and I use this method in my [[User:ToaMeiko/Sandbox/Userboxes|userboxes]] instead of uploading. If a user can't use Brickshelf or imgur for whatever reason, then they can do this method. Additionally when it comes down to it, we'll need to enforce "personal images" more strictly when we move to Brickimedia just so we don't waste the server space we pay for on 50k unused, duplicate or unrelated images like there are here. --[[User:ToaMeiko|ToaMeiko]] ([[User talk:ToaMeiko|talk]]) 18:59, August 23, 2013 (UTC) |

+ | * There was a forum started a long time ago to limit the number of personal images that each user could have, but it got shot down and they could have unlimited images. {{tl|user-file}} was created for tagging personal use images. I ''think'' those IMG- reasons were just copy-pasted from another wiki, I'm not sure. Personally, I don't see what's wrong with having a couple of personal-use images on the wiki, but as before, I'd like to see the number each user can have limited so we don't have tons of useless images on the wiki. {{User:NovaFlare/sig}} 22:56, August 26, 2013 (UTC) |

Perhaps a more relevant point is do we enforce BP:NOT more seriously in regards to image hosting site. How do we decide which image is useful for the wiki or not though? I'd always imagined it as when people upload something just to show people on chat, but would it cover posting meme's in blog comments, or posting an image in a blog or on your userpage? /rambling (on an aside, maybe we should mess around with the delete reasons at some point, we have a lot of stuff never used there, and we need Unacceptable Custom added) ~ CJC 10:14, August 23, 2013 (UTC)
What if there was a policy that personal use images would be deleted within one week, after whatever their use was is accomplished? Random thought mind you. --Jay 17:09, September 2, 2013 (UTC)
