This file is used in the documentation of the MediaWiki software. Please refrain from deleting it (and we developers MEAN it!) unless absolutely necessary to prevent MediaWiki documentation problems or missing images on third-party wikis utilizing MediaWiki.org documentation. It should only be deleted after finding (or uploading) a suitable replacement. If the file does not qualify for Wikimedia Commons, but does qualify for MediaWiki.org, please upload it there first before deleting from Commons. This tag, {{MediaWiki documentation file}}, should be removed if this file is no longer actively being used in any MediaWiki documentation.
Reverted to version as of 20:05, 15 July 2015 (UTC) – The previous revision is a completely different screenshot that renders most of the information about the image incorrect, including the description, source, author, date, and permission. The new screenshot should be uploaded as it's own file, not overwritten onto this one.
