Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread

(There's also the element that I feel a bit hypocritical calling out any other image changes, recent or otherwise, knowing that I've made the same mistakes)
Unprivating because this isn't a security issue or something that needs to be private.
Since you stopped changing images after you learned about how Administrivia.Image Pickin and consensus works you are fine. Also, you did receive a notifier for image changes but I didn't dig around long enough to find out how old it was (or I missed it).
As for what to do with the work page images you changed without discussion, you are free to make IP threads on them to gather consensus on them

Ideally, you can bring up changes you've made by making respective "Changed w/o Discussion" threads (Should ask in IP if one merged thread would be fine) and letting people to vote if old or new image should be locked it.

Thank you.
Looking back, the one notifier I did get wasn't actually intended as one, which is why I’d forgotten - it was a troper who wanted to ask about image options for a Characters page (5th Aug '22).
I'll put something together for IP.
So...
As a new(ish) troper, when I started actively editing works pages, I swapped out a fair few images for 'better' versions on both ComicBook and Characters pages. By which I mean different images that looked better, not just permitted quality upgrades.
At that point I hadn't fully understood the Image Pickin' rules and how they also applied to non-trope pages with existing images that weren't Image Pickin' approved.
Now, after much more troping, I have a much better understanding of the tools and customs for making that sort of change.
I've never had notifiers on this, and other tropers working on the same pages seemed to be comfortable with the changes. But. This is one of those things where I have seen other tropers get notified and suspended months or years after a change. And I'd prefer not to get caught up In that months or years further down the line, especially if that comes up multiple times on different occasions for the different images.
So what's the best way to make it right? Is it a case of leave it and deal with it if a particular image is challenged, or should I try to look back through history and take the cases to Image Pickin' (or elsewhere) to get them reviewed and confirmed or overturned?
