We have the CheckUsage tool on the toolserver and every admin should
check the usages _before_ deleting an image. If there are (more or less)
prominent usages, at least at non user/user talk pages, he shouldn't
delete the image or previous replace all usages with the duplicate image.
I know, it's a lot of work
Exemptions are copyvios.

The HTML static dumps are incredibly useful, since they are the easiest form
of Wikipedia to use offline - rendering the XML files is very difficult,
since there is not even a good Wikitext specification available. I have been
experimenting a lot with different ways of viewing content offline - hugely
useful in countries like Indonesia, where internet access is hard to come
by...
However, the static dumps have not been updated since December! It even says
on the page that the December dumps are still in progress - which they are
not! They are finished and all exist on the page (which I pointed out
several months ago).
So we _really_really_ need updated static HTML dumps of all the Wikipedias.
And I also really want stripped down HTML dumps of the English, that doesn't
include user pages and discussion pages.
I'd really like an update on this!

MediaWiki 1.10 is the quarterly release snapshot for Spring 2007. While
the code has been running on Wikipedia for some time, installation and
upgrade bits may be less well tested. Bug fix releases may follow in the
coming days or weeks.
This is a release candidate -- 1.10.0 final will be released later this
week after a few more people have had a chance to test it in additional
environments.
MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with
quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept
"ready to run", and in fact runs our own sites on Wikipedia.
Release branches will continue to receive security updates for about a
year from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature
development happen will be made on the development trunk and appear in
the next quarterly release.
Those wishing to use the latest code instead of a branch release can
obtain it from source control:
