"NS_FILE" was introduced to replace "NS_IMAGE" in MediaWiki 1.14, which was released in 2009, fourteen years ago.
And in 14 years, Mediawiki has never warned users about it.
The first time we learn about these things in practice is when something breaks. Usually after an upgrade.
The devs really need to supply a linter that we can run on LocalSettings.php so we can discover the problems earlier than "it broke after an upgrade." And hopefully the linter will suggest the next step, like renaming NS_IMAGE to NS_FILE.
