:Interesting find! I think you can change the comment default by going into the "Preferences" under the "Edit" tab, and going to the "Default Image" section. I haven't tested it, but I've changed my default to something along those lines, just in case. I wouldn't have any idea how to apply the metadata to categorizing. But very interesting indeed! I just saw one of my much-slaved-over transparent images at "another website" the other day. If only I had known! lol. {{:User:Embyr_75/sig}} 22:39, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

::That sucks :/ Well what I was thinking is something related to the search bar. When you search something, I think it will pick up what's written within the metadata. So if we search for say "Red Elephant" and there isn't a page on red elephant, the picture tagged with Red Elephant in its metadata would show up in the search. I don't really know how this would apply to anything too practical, but maybe we can come up with something sometime later. {{:User:Malake256/sig}} 18:56, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

== Caching  ==
We've started to notice that the wikis start to slow down on weekends when we hit our usage peaks.  To help keep things snappy, I would like to add caching in front of our web server.  However, this has one major downside: MediaWiki won't be able to keep track of how many pageviews each page actually gets.  There's a sentence at the bottom of each page "This page has been accessed 1,304,179 times."  That will no longer be accurate.  This means the view count on [[Special:Statistics]] won't be updated as much (maybe 10% of our total views will be reflected there).  What do you guys think, are these view counts that important? -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 16:32, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
