I originally posted this, noticed an error and fixed it: post #125456 . But I then posted the wrong fixed version: post #125716.
Then, I posted the right fixed version: post #125717 . Can I have post #125717 replace both post #125716 and post #12545 ?

It cannot be done.
The general idea of replacements is to make a fix in one post, most often through inpainting, in order to achieve improvement or an undeletion.

If you already uploaded the fixed version as a separate post (revision as post #125717), the older ones may not be replaced (post #125456 & post #125716), because the new parent post is supposed to replace them. The ones that are "bad" stay deleted, whilst the new good revision becomes the parent and "succeeds death".

In short, the replacement process is as follows:
１．You uploaded something as a new post, but you noticed something wrong or worth improving
２．So now you want it replaced. To this end, upload the desired replacement as a media asset (ideally, but other image services like catboxmoe work too). But do not press post, as this creates a new post
３．If the request is approved, the post gets replaced, which will undelete the post and improve your upload slots

But what happened here was a mistake on your end during step ２, because instead of doing a replacement, you uploaded a new post. Once a post is created, it and its ID stay there forever. If someone were to replace those 2 "bad" ones with the good one, the website ends up with different 3 posts IDs that actually are exactly the same image (pixel-perfect duplicate). That would not be in the public interest.
So in the end you got 1 approval + 2 undeletions, whereas with the due process, it would have been 1 approval and 0 deletions. Replacements inherently benefit uploaders. The only solution for you here, and others in similar situations, is to be more careful in the future

Got it! Thanks!
