Thanks for chasing down those images for Memoirs of an Illusory Larcener. Well done. &rArr; Nom (Contribs • Message • Email ) 17:29, February 14, 2021 (EST) My pleasure. Taking images of monsters is kind of my thing around here! :) &rArr; PurpleSerpent (Contribs • &uArr; top &uArr; • Email ) 17:49, February 14, 2021 (EST)

"refreshing" of monster images?
I don't understand what you're doing by removing the monster image and adding it back again. Are you trying to refresh the page/image? There is a button to refresh the page at the top (under More). This refreshes some aspects of the page in the wiki server like templates and categories. If you are trying to refresh the image then perhaps try clearing your browser's cache for ddowiki which will force your browser to reload the image page with the new data. If you are having some other problem, can you elaborate so we can test what it is? In any case, pointlessly editing the page clogs the recent changes and increases the server storage by the size of the page (as mediawiki stores each revision's full page code) &rArr; Faltout (Contribs • Message • Email ) 08:29, June 24, 2021 (EDT)
 * Ah, sorry. I'd been discussing this with User:GMTrojan earlier; it's the only way we can figure out to clear the pages in question from Category:Monsters without image, which isn't updating correctly a lot of the time. We've tried refreshing and it isn't doing anything. I wasn't aware it would be an issue. Any suggestions for what to do instead? &rArr; PurpleSerpent (Contribs • &uArr; top &uArr; • Email ) 09:49, June 24, 2021 (EDT)
