MediaWiki Discussão:Licenses

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 "Enviar ficheiro" restricted to the "Administradores" 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.

Suggest to remove GFDL

Hello! Sorry to write in English. As explained in the cartoon GFDL is not a good license for media files.

I therefore suggest to remove it from the list. It will not change existing files. It only have effect if someone upload new files.

I know new files are not likely to be uploaded but as a part of a discussion on Commons I try to remove as many wikis as possible from this list so I hope you will remove it anyway.

Perhaps Utilizador:Solstag or Utilizador:Joalpe can have a look? MGA73 (discussão) 20h18min de 13 de março de 2025 (UTC)

Ni! Sure, removed. Thanks for the tip. Solstag (discussão) 13h38min de 14 de março de 2025 (UTC)
