When do we want to keep all versions or do we need to keep all versions if all instances were quasi-replaced by a "higher quality" version? I'm not sure. All I know is that is that it's just the file name, no normal wiki visitor has to see it and we can still find all things by the same name with the search. Basically there is no harm done naming them this way to be consistent. The Memory Alpha obviously doesn't have this problem since their image naming policy is not as strict as ours.<br>

I will agree though that the "suffix" is simply too long, although I understand the idea behind it, especially in cases where only one version is available on the wiki. In my opinion it would be enough to put a "HD" at the end and be done with it.}}

{{KrytenKoro|If we need, for whatever reason, to present the pre-HD version of an image, I feel like we have two viable options:
#Upload the pre- version as a special image, with a parser callout like "(pre-HD)"
#Link to the prior version of the image in the upload history.
Both of these options would allow us to have a more organized image set overall, with less cumbersome coding. One of the main reasons the image naming policy is so helpful as is, is because you very rarely have to be familiar with the image before you code for it. I can simply code "Ars Solum KHBBS.gif", with no prior visit to the Ars Solum page, and get the high-quality, preferred image I desire. This makes it much, much simpler for coding infoboxes when we want to as well. If the image doesn't appear, I can be comfortable knowing it simply doesn't exist, rather than having to search through the archives in case someone uploaded it under an unexpected name.
The (HD) parsers interfere with that system, not quite fatally.}}
