It would however, be spiffy if an image tagged as replaceable had all its article uses marked visibly. Right now people are doing it manually.
Someone asked for this before, but more generally, geni maybe? I can't remember. Anyway, if we could somehow mark in the article which images were about to be deleted that would be super helpful. So, to make your idea even more useful, if we could somehow give images a class based on something in the image description page that would be great. We could tag fair use images, but also replaceable ones, as well as simple no source/no license type things. Ideally the visual would be controlled by css based on image classes.
I know I brought up something like that once. It had almost slipped my mind though, but I finaly got around to submitting a "bug" request for it.

Hope it is doable, there would be some caching issues to work out I guess.
