 Tip: Please replace images, if you can

If you update an image go to the old version and click on the Upload new version of this file link, that will automagically update all the pages that use that image.

Gotcha: if you are changing formats, say from .jpg to .png, this will not work. You will need to delete the old .jpg version, then manually create the page as a redirect to the .png version. It's a pain in the butt, but it's better than changing links manually.
