 * By 9:00 I mean that I will be running the script after the new set of images is cached. Basically, if you are uploading new images (this means images with totally NEW names, uploading new versions of images shouldn't be affected) don't do it around whatever time is listed at the top of the page I linked above. This will prevent you having to re-upload your image because I deleted it.
 * An alternative to not doing the above: Create a redlink with the name of the file you want to upload wherever you are posting or editing, finish your post and save, then follow the redlink and use Special:Upload to add the image, that way it is never considered unused, and doesn't end up being cached.
 * You might want to look over the list if you upload a lot of images, after it has cached. I may not run the script tonight, but tomorrow morning. The important time is when the list is cached, not when I run the script. If there are any images (on the current list, or on the newly cached one) that you do not want deleted, some things to do:
 * If the image is on the current list, then add the image to your profile page or another location, so that it isn't included in the new cache.
 * If the image is in the new cache, then message me as soon as you find it and I will remove it from the list right before I run the script. If there is a massage already open on my wall, just reply to it.

Thanks for reading, if you have any questions, please post here. I'll probably leave this up until I have run the script, and then close it, since it isn't relevant and I wouldn't want to freak people out unnecessarily.

Understand? Yes Yes happy dapy good
