Alt text has value for eReader software and SEO. But with the technical restrictions Wikia has (that were highlighted after the previous discussion on the placement, and, I must admit, after I read up on alt text in general), there's no way to implement it in any practical way at this point. It just sits there on an image page, a page which people with eReaders are not likely to actually look at. So when I cleaned up the rest of your incorrectly filled out template (and removed the duplicate image), I removed it as well.

Accessibility is a good thing. But it's not something that can be achieved purely on our end, and definitely not like this. You do this in the name of accessibility, but it doesn't actually do anything towards actual accessibility.
