@wero, why wouldn't it be useful?  You could probably remove the unuseful versions, like any low-res scans.

That's either not possible, or I don't have the permission to do that sort of thing.

It must be possible.  Who would have permission?  theory?

No idea.  Maybe QVist.

Even so, it would still be useful unless there are a dozen extra versions there already.

Well you could have decided that before uploading!

Anyway, I vote to have both but I don't really have a preference of what goes where.  Put one in the info box (both would be cluttered, probably) and the other in its own section that isn't Trivia, because this isn't Trivia.

I can delete old file versions, can't you as well? In the file history, there is left of the versions the revert link and the delete link.
I see that you used the revert link a couple of times, so you should have the option to delete a version as well, I assume.

I only have the revert link.  I do not have admin privileges.

By the way, if there isn't a clear majority winner in the poll by midnight tonight (EST), I'm going to reset it, removing the option with the fewest votes.  If only there were a way to put up a poll with instant runoff...

You could also infer a bit based on the votes.  For example, there are 7 votes for physical, 2 for digital only, 9 for both (just disagreeing on where they should go).  It seems like both would be the best of both worlds. 

From this, I think the best option would be to keep the physical scan at the top in the info box, but make the digital version available somewhere else.  Maybe in the Trivia section, or a special section, or even just a gallery on a separate page. 

But that's only if you're feeling up to the task of making all those composites.

Okay, poll has been reset, the "both in infobox" has been removed.  At the moment, I'm leaning toward eHalcyon's suggestion of scan in the box, and digital in trivia, but let's see how the poll goes now.

And with the basic cards re-scanned, I am completely done scanning in things (at least, until Donald X. releases another expansion).  I might fiddle with Cornucopia's color levels at some point, but I'm not re-scanning them.

Okay, it's pretty clear that people want the physical scan in the infobox.

Here's an idea: have a new subsection, "Alternate cards" or something, that has both the digital version as well as any other language versions that are available on the interwebs, or that our non-Anglophone folk feel up to uploading.  I know a few of the Dutch versions are already on there.
