MediaWiki Diskussioun:Licenses

Suggestion for text (2011)

I suggest that the text is changed to something like this:

• Eege Wierker
  • self|Bild-by|Fräi Lizenz - komplett fräie Gebrauch wann den Auteur genannt gëtt
  • self|Bild-CC-by-sa/3.0/lu|Creative Commons-3.0 Lëtzebuerg: CC-by-sa
  • self|Bild-PD-Auteur|Domaine public

• Andere fräi Wierker (please remember to document the permission)
  • Bild-Lizenz-onbekannt|Onbekannt - ech weess et net genee
  • Bild-PD-al|Domaine public - Schutzdauer ass ofgelaf (Auteur méi wéi 70 Joer dout)
  • Bild-GFDL|GFDL - GNU-Lizenz fir fräi Dokumentatioun
  • Bild-CC-by-sa/3.0/lu|Creative Commons-3.0 Lëtzebuerg: CC-by-sa

• Andere net fräi Medien (please remember to add a source and reason to use as fair use)
  • Bild-FU|Fair use (general tag when no others fit better)
  • Bild-FU-3D|Fair use - zweedimensional Representatioun vun enger Skulptur, Statu oder engem aneren dräidimensionale Konschtwierk, wat duerch d'Droits d'Auteurs geschützt ass.
  • Bild-Logo|Fair use - Dëst ass e Logo oder en Objet mat bal de selwechte Charakteristiken.

It makes it possible to choose a more specific license during upload. --MGA73 09:53, 20. Jul. 2011 (UTC)

Moien alleguer, wéi schonns eng Kéier diskutéiert a suggeréiert, giff ech et besser fannen, wann een am Eroplueden-Menu vu fräiem Contenu direkt op Commons dirigéiert géif. Dat erspuert d'Aarbecht, et méi spéit dach souwisou ze maachen. Nëmme fir déi 3 uewe leschtgenannte Rubriken bräicht et weiderhin eng Méiglechkeet, hei eropzelueden, woubäi dovunner sou wéineg a wann dann mat den néidege Justifikatiounen.

Dat liicht an --Jwh 11:18, 22. Aug. 2011 (UTC)

Honnertprozenteg d'accord --Les Meloures 11:32, 22. Aug. 2011 (UTC)

I agree that it would be really nice if free files are uploaded to Commons. But if you check Spezial:Logbicher/upload you can see that free files are still uploaded. So perhaps a combination? 1) A big "Please upload to Commons-notice" and 2) A change of licenses as suggested above? --MGA73 17:52, 19. Sep. 2011 (UTC)

Thank you :-) I fixed a few - Bild-GFDL -> GFDL and Bild-CC-by-sa/3.0/lu -> Cc-by-sa-3.0-lu to make a transfer to Commons easier. --MGA73 08:26, 20. Sep. 2011 (UTC)

I would do the changes, but am not so knowledgeable about system files and programmes.

If anyone could post here the actual page that generates the upload module(s), I'll translate adapt that asap.

Wann een, dee besser Bescheed weess, hei déi Säit kinnt uginn, op déi ee kënnt, wann een op "eroplueden" klickt, këmmeren ech mech gären ëm den Text fir déi "Bifurcatioun" 'Fräien Inhalt->Commons', 'Logo, FU-> hei'.--Zinneke 14:40, 20. Sep. 2011 (UTC)

The license choises are on MediaWiki:Licenses and that should be fixed now. Perhaps MediaWiki:Uploadtext could be improved? On Danish Wikipedia da:MediaWiki:Uploadtext there is a big fat notice asking to upload to Commons and on English Wikipedia en:Wikipedia:Upload you are send to this if it is own work en:Wikipedia:Upload/Own work and there is a HUGE Commons-notice and an almost invisible link to upload to en-wiki. --MGA73 20:39, 20.

Using only UploadWizard for uploads

Hello! Sorry for writing in English. It was noted that on this wiki upload is not fully functional for users, who will experience a very difficult and/or illegal uploading. In fact, the licenses/copyright tags dropdown is empty, making it hard or impossible to comply with copyright requirements during upload itself.

Presumably, you don't have interest nor energies to have hundreds templates with the now required HTML, even less a local EDP. I propose to have

• local "Eroplueden" restricted to the "Administrateuren" group (for emergency uploads) and
• the sidebar point to commons:Special:UploadWizard,

so that you can avoid local maintenance and all users can have a functioning, easy upload interface in their own language. All registered users can upload on Commons and existing files will not be affected.

All this will get done around 2014-07-03.

1. If you disagree with the proposal, just remove your wiki from the list. Remember also to create MediaWiki:Licenses locally with any content (see a simple example), or uploads will be soon disabled anyway by MediaWiki itself (starting in version 1.24wmf11).
2. To make the UploadWizard even better, please tell your experience and ideas on commons:Commons:Upload Wizard feedback.

Robby, so is it ok or not to point to Commons? --Nemo bis (Diskussioun) 10:36, 2. Jul. 2014 (UTC)

From my point of view it is ok. We will try to add on our local help-texts the information that local uploads will be limited to admins. --Robby (Diskussioun) 18:13, 2. Jul. 2014 (UTC)

Update 2020

Hi! Most uploads go to Commons but if anyone upload here I think they should use newest version, so I suggest change the 3.0 to these:

• • self|Cc-by-sa-4.0|Creative Commons-4.0 CC-by-sa
  • Cc-by-sa-4.0|Creative Commons-4.0 CC-by-sa

--MGA73 (Diskussioun) 18:42, 2. Feb. 2020 (UTC)

And I would also remove the GFDL. It is a really bad license for images so there is no reason to suggest that. --MGA73 (Diskussioun) 09:22, 14. Abr. 2020 (UTC)

I think you are the expert, and agree that GFDL is not a good use. --Nilrom (Diskussioun) 09:33, 14. Abr. 2020 (UTC)

I agree too. If there is no opposition in the next 8 days, you may do it. Thanks for your work on lb pictures --Les Meloures (Diskussioun) 10:32, 14. Abr. 2020 (UTC)

Les Meloures I think the 8 days have passed now :-) Could you update? I do not have the rights to do it. --MGA73 (Diskussioun) 13:57, 14. Abr. 2021 (UTC)

Zinneke perhaps you could have a look? --MGA73 (Diskussioun) 16:44, 28. Abr. 2021 (UTC)
