Images with no inbound file links, but inbound wikilinks edit
It's been quite common, when a discussion on a talk page requires the use of an image, to wikilink rather than file-link the image (i.e. the image displays only if the link is clicked on, rather than being embedded in the talk page).
Currently, this template is being (bot?-)added to images that are being wikilinked but not file-linked, suggesting that the image should be deleted. I'm not sure that that's necessarily the correct policy. --ais523 21:56, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
