Nice joke. This is a dummy image put under filenames that we don't want to be used for images on Commons. --Túrelio (talk) 11:00, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is not a joke, and I'm not here for having fun, hope neither are you; you just didn't read the written above. Simply, we do not need such files. We can have one version (I suggested Image:Logo.jpg), and delete, protect and redirect other version to it. How simple, useful, serous, easy that is.--OsamaK 15:40, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Have you tested that this solution works? If it does, then the redirects are more efficient and easier to maintain, but it should be tested to ensure it actually does work first. Morven (talk) 21:19, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I have. Anyways, I added an example above, Why do not people read carefully nowadays? :)--OsamaK 02:03, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks bdk. I just found a better easier way used in English Wikipedia. There is MediaWiki:Titleblacklist which forbids creating every title that matches regex, and it's ignoring letter case (LOGO,logo,LoGo, etc. are all forbidden using "(Image|File):Logo\.(jp(e)?g|gif|svg|pdf|ogg)"). So we just need to delete all images above, including Image:Logo.jpg and Image:Logocolor.jpg (could be done using a bot) and add these lines to MediaWiki:Titleblacklist, and finally create this error message.--OsamaK 08:41, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Especially the DSC and IMG names should not be redirected or protected or anything, if the renaming function Commons:Rename will be activated we can simply rename the files. --Martin H. (talk) 01:55, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Closed. The process of uploading a placeholder image and protecting has long been abandoned ever since we got the ability to protect non-existent images and redirect images (not to mention the title blacklist). That was the old way of doing things. Updating to the new ways is a long, continuous, and noncontroversial process so I see no reason to keep this DR open.

Largely done. —Anonymous DissidentTalk 08:17, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
