    1: How do I delete/remove unwanted images I had previously uploaded to the wiki? Id like to get rid of some I uploaded that are causing same file name conflict and are causing clutter

    2: How do I stop these license messages showing up in my image uploads? I don't really know how licenses work on the wiki, I am but a simpleton

    3: Does wiki editing have scores? I noticed these positive and negative numbers to my edits just now and don't really know what it means

    4. How do I make sure the image I upload will show up as the updated one on the wiki page? I ask because I've uploaded a new image and the old one still showed up

    I could really do with a step by step guide on how to add images to a pages as well as upload ones properly onto existing images + adding the Wynncraft license properly

    can someone change the wiki for the Blizzard Detlas Mystery? I don't know how to but it's clearly wrong in
    It says that the Vision of the Past shows you a map of Detlas with many parts left out, but it clearly doesn't. It shows an outline for certain DECORATIONS in detlas, and you must stand where they align with the real decorations!

    1: As far as I know only wiki admins can delete images, so the second best option is to edit the image page and add {{delete}} at the top. Words in curly brackets are called templates, and this one adds a note to the page and adds the page to a list to keep track of things that need to be deleted.

    2: I don't know what MsUpload is, but that's definitely causing the weird message. I usually go to image pages directly in order to upload, or you can use the Upload image/file link on the left bar. If you are using either of those methods than I'm not sure what could be causing it.

    3: The numbers are the size of the page's data. Adding more stuff onto a page will make the number green, while removing stuff from a page will make the number red. It doesn't serve any other purpose.

    4: You don't have to worry about your image showing up on the page as long as you upload it under the correct name, it's a temporary issue for new files. They don't update immediately, but sometimes you can go to the top of the page and purge the cache to update it. This button is under the "More" tab next to the search bar.
    ________________________________
    Oh yeah I forgot to mention for #2, you can add the reason for deleting something in the template. To do this, you need to add the message separated with a pipe. For example, {{delete|Duplicate File}}.

    Thank you very much for this, ill try to do things with these points on board and see if I come across any more issues or questions
    Also I think MsUpload was from dropping files in this box:

    When I started uploading images, I used that. But once I did it the proper way, I think MsUpload disappeared
