Pikipedia:Maintenance: Difference between revisions

Undo: This is a specific image replacement project, while the rest of the things on this page are more general. In addition, just because the images are low-quality doesn't mean they have to be replaced; it's not an especially important project and should only be done whenever someone has the resources to do it and feels the need for it to be done. (The linked guide also doesn't have very good image quality because of the way it was scanned, so it shouldn't be used for this regardless.)
(Added the two latest maintenance categories.)
