This is usually done when uploading.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Overwriting etiquette for the VW Wiki is discussed in detail in the [[Do&#039;s and Don&#039;ts]] page.<br /> <br /> <br /> To avoid accidental overwriting of images, uploaders should use unique filenames. Retain the contri number-image number for ease of identification. Adding the wiki entry to that contri number in the filename also aids in identifying the image and making filename unique. &#039;&#039;For example,&#039;&#039; downloading an image from VW called 20010217-12345-0.jpg can be uploaded as wikiNikkiWW20010217-12345-0.jpg, which will become it&#039;s wiki image filename. If someone overwrites that image filename, it was not an accident.</div>
