Regarding the Replacement of Several Images

This doesn't relate so much to this page itself, but rather to several images that were featured on this page, and since this is spread across several images I'm not sure where else on the Wiki to bring this up but here unless I were to bring it up on the talk pages of each individual image.

On September 15, 2022, I replaced several screenshots from TotK's E3 2021 trailer with higher quality versions taken from Nintendo's press kit. Nearly two weeks later, most of these images were deleted and in their place were reuploads with versions taken from the Winter 2021 edition of Nintendo Magazine. The problem is these were the exact same images from the press kit, but smaller in size and lower in quality (1 2 3 4 5 6). On top of this, the images in question were indefinitely protected to admin level, preventing them from being overwritten. No reasons were given for why these were replaced with lower quality versions or why they were protected.

I know this happened over three months ago, but I only just learned of this today. I was wondering why this happened and what the reasons were. It seems counterintuitive and unusual of this wiki to take images and replace them with worse versions without any given reason. Marlotix (talk) 02:21, 15 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'll need to ask around but promotional images are supposed to be tagged as such and protected, ironically so that a situation like this doesn't happen. TriforceTony (talk) 05:07, 15 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I still have the versions from the press kit on me so I can always reupload them if or when I'm given the okay to. Thanks for looking into it. Marlotix (talk) 05:35, 15 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
