There are several images named "example": File:Example.jpg, File:Example.png, File:Example.svg and File:Example2.svg. There is also the sound file File:Example.ogg. None of these files should be used in articles.

Some local projects may have a "File:Local example.svg" uploaded locally on that project.

The JPG image was the example inserted when a user clicked the "embedded file" or "picture gallery" buttons in the pre-2017 edit toolbar. Pages (including user pages) with this image on them may be actively sought out and fixed.
