Watchlist view older entries
The watchlist on url Special:Watchlist only has options for showing entries up to 30 days old. How can I view older entrries?
Dubidubno (talk) 13:01, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- This is not possible for technical reasons. You can subscribe to your own watchlist via RSS or email and keep an archive of every update, but note that email will only send you a new email if you haven't viewed a page and will not send emails for bot edits. So to have an indefinitely long-term watchlist, use RSS subscriptions. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 13:13, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- The link you provided doesn't give any technical reasons for the 30 day limit. Waht are the technical reasons? This limit was not imposed earlier on enwiki. In Europe five weeks of annual vacation time is normal, so I feel this is an ureasonable limitation. --Dubidubno (talk) 11:07, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
Adding all images in a category to a watchlist
Is there an easy way to do this? Not the category itself, but the individual images within it. Thanks, Choliamb (talk) 12:16, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Choliamb: Hi, and welcome. While your account is set to "Add pages and files I edit to my watchlist" in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-watchlist (the default), you may use one of our file-related tools like VFC, AWB, or COM:JWB to prepend {{subst:void}}. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 14:23, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- Ah, I see. First ensure that every file I edit is added to my watchlist, then make a null edit to every file I want to watch. Clever. But will the addition of the void show up as an edit in the file's edit history? I'd like to avoid driving other users crazy by saturation bombing their watchlists with a string of identical edits that do nothing. Choliamb (talk) 18:59, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- Rather than make a string of nothing edits, a fairly easy way to do this is with AWB: you can make a list of pages from a category, copy and paste that list into your raw watchlist, and this can be done in two minutes without making needless edits. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:10, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

- @Choliamb: No, it will usually not show up as an edit in the file's edit history. Justin's solution works, too (if your watchlist isn't too big). Mine was too big last time I tried. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 20:36, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

- Also: assuming you are uploading from a web page, what is the URL of that page? (There are several different pages where people can upload to Commons, and they are each a bit different.) Are you on a PC or a phone? - 18:18, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- @ChetDagit: Please see your filter log and the related details. You made four attempts in fifteen minutes, which may have seemed like two hours, to upload the files "File:CharlesDagitSailor.jpg", "File:CharlesDagitJr.png" and "File:CharlesDagitJr.jpg". As specified in the log details, the problem was that you attempted to upload the files while you were on Wikipedia. You can upload the files when you are here on Commons, with the link "upload file". That is assuming that you own the copyrights or that the photos are under a free license from their copyright owners. -- Asclepias (talk) 19:12, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
Photo challenge "roof"
I`m logged in, but I can't upload a picture. Gives an error message: This page is currently protected, and can be edited only by template editors and administrators. Some templates and site interface pages are permanently protected due to visibility or risk. The reason for protection can be found in the protection log. You can discuss this page with others. If you have noticed an error or have a suggestion for a simple change, start a new section and insert the text {{edit request}} followed by your request. A template editor or an administrator may then make the change on your behalf. You may also test proposed changes in the template's sandbox. You may request unprotection of the page.

- Thank you! But I can't get to the file upload page at all. Hei1972 (talk) 18:51, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, so you were probably on an image page, and hit the "upload new version", which was an (accidental) explicit request to overwrite!
- @Hei1972: You don't say whether you are on a PC, a phone, or what, but assuming it is a PC, near the top of the left nav (under the search bar) should be "Upload file". This might be a little different if you have a different skin, but look for "Upload file". - Jmabel ! talk 10:31, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Copyright holder's role
I have an image I wish to upload. The copyright holder is willing to send me an authorization email with the required license (CC-BY-SA) to upload the image. COM:VRT says: ... ask the author to forward the email with their clear statement of permission to permissions-commonswikimedia.org, including the full header and any previously exchanged correspondence with you.
Whereas COM:ET says: if you are releasing a work for which you are acting on the copyright holder's behalf, you may be asked to provide proof of this authorization such as a forwarded email message with full Internet headers from the copyright holder designating you as their representative in this matter.
It is not very clear what my role and the copyright holder's role are. From the latter, it seems that the copyright holder's role is limited to authorizing me. Is it sufficient that the copyright owner mails me the authorization to upload, and I forward that email (with headers) to permissions-commons @ wikimedia.org? If so, do we have an email template for this authorization? AltJay (talk) 13:03, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- @AltJay: copyright holder should send directly to the email address provided at COM:VRT. It's a good idea if they cc you so that you are in the loop.
- I think the part you are quoting in the second paragraph is about uploading on behalf of an organization (where we need to know if you represent the organization). Not sure of that last, but I'm sure it's not relevant here, and I'm in an airport waiting for a flight right now so I don't have time to research the context, but certain that it is not this case. - Jmabel ! talk 18:36, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- I checked again, the quoted part is not about uploading on behalf of an organization. The sentence covers multiple scenarios separated by semi-colons, and the quoted part is only for the case of if you are releasing a work for which you are acting on the copyright holder's behalf. However, from what you are saying about the copyright holder having to mandatorily send the email directly, I think the paragraph on COM:ET is confusing, and may need to be tweaked.
- The email template given there does not have content about authorizing an uploader, so why would an uploader have to send email headers about a different email from the copyright holder, when the copyright holder has already sent a direct email consenting to a license? AltJay (talk) 18:39, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Ah, if it mentions "email headers" it's got to be about demonstrating authenticity when forwarding an email (which should only happen as a last resort, anyway). Again, sorry I don't have a lot of time to go into this, if someone else does they should feel free; the point for your case is that the copyright-holder should send the email. - Jmabel ! talk 07:10, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
How to add a main article for the category if there is not one in English?
In Categories there are usually added the descriptive articles in English like here. But if there is no English article like here, no article is added even though there would exist an article in German such as here. How could we add it to the category? Thanks a lot in advance for any replies.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 18:18, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Paradise Chronicle: } Start from the article that exists (in whatever language). Click the link to the Wikidata item corresponding to the article. Add the Commons category there. Then (not necessary, but a good idea), add {{Wikidata Infobox}} to the Commons category. - Jmabel ! talk 18:40, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

SVG translation methods?
Recently, I translated an SVG in Czech to English so that it would display properly on the English Wikipedia. It works perfectly fine on both wikis now, and I assume the way I did things is what could be considered proper (adding systemlanguage
attributes to text elements and editing them accordingly in the SVG Translate tool). However, I notice that certain images, such as File:Hecataeus world map-en.svg, are not translated inside of the SVG itself, but rather use different, separately-uploaded versions of the SVG for each language it has been translated into.
This could be a simple case of pedantry on my part, but the need to split a single vector image into 19 different Commons files for each language it needs to be translated into strikes me as inefficient, as it appears there is a better solution in the form of "native" SVG translation that can be consolidated to a single file and embedded on other wikis, as well as translated, without much hassle. Is this the case? Is this SVG something that could/should be converted to use embedded text translations, or is it split into multiple files for each translated language for good reason? Theki (talk) 17:44, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- I think the problem is that within Wikipedia what is displayed are pngs [2], not svg.
∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 18:25, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- That's something I've noticed. However, it appears to me that most or all wikis have the ability to render an embedded SVG in the language of the wiki, or the default language otherwise. The SVG I translated is displayed here, and you can see the render translated to English, despite the original being in Czech. I think the opposite (it rendering in Czech, the default language) works on the Czech wiki but the image preview is too small for me to verify, and it appears that maximizing it renders it in English, although I surmise that might be because of my device language or something similar. Basically― I think the wikis render the SVGs to PNG based on the most appropriate language. Theki (talk) 18:43, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Theki: that image dates to 2006. I am not certain if the SVG translation was possible back then. Additionally sometimes people will simply not know the translation option and will then create and upload a translated derivative file. MKFI (talk) 06:26, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- At any rate, will it be OK for me to convert it to use embedded text translations, or should I leave it as is? All the translated versions are mostly identical, so it should be trivial (if tedious) to get them all translated into one file. I'll remark that I can't seem to figure out how to get the
switch
element to work with transforms so that I don't have to apply the same attributes to every translated child of the text. Theki (talk) 12:59, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

2,320 files needing review
Please take a look at Category:Taiwan Cultural Memory Bank. Currently, I see a total of 2,320 files in the category and it looks like they were all taken from the same website: https://memory.culture.tw/ I didn't check them all, but I did look at quite a few. I randomly checked over 500 files of the licensing and found that none of them had been reviewed by a reviewer. If you go to see the category, you'll see that it contains thousands of photos of all Taiwan and printed matter of all kinds. For example,
- This page: Category:Lanyang Literature Award, it contains 49 files and 1 subcategory; however, 48 files are works from the Lanyang Literature Award winners and they are all scanned from printed matter.
- This page: Category:Lanyang Literature Award winners, it contains 28 files and they are group photos of the winners receiving their awards.
2,320 files in the category, I don't know how many files were actually not been reviewed by a reviewer. I'd be worried if source link is dead in the future. In order to avoid deleting files, we would better take some time to review the licensing and the source links. Could you please review the 2,320 files?--125.230.85.226 20:48, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Adding source tag for a large amount of images
I recently received multiple notices on my talk page from @Εὐθυμένης stating that the 'File source is not properly indicated' for nearly, if not all, of my photos. I personally own all these photos, as I captured them myself. According to Wikipedia's guidelines, if you created the content yourself, you should enter Own work as the source. I can do this, but since I have a large number of images, adding this tag to each one individually would take hours. Is there a way to add this tag in bulk, or is there an easier way to confirm that I own the images? WikiEnthuasiastGR30 (talk) 03:13, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

- @WikiEnthuasiastGR30: Your photos were already marked with "template:own" in the source field before being tagged by Εὐθυμένης. Do you have any idea of why Εὐθυμένης tagged them? If the tag was placed for no reason, then IMO it's the burden of Εὐθυμένης to remove the tags. You do not need to add a second copy of the "template:own" as there. -- Asclepias (talk) 16:26, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

- En corto: probablemente, no. Commons accepta sólamente archivos que o son en el dominio público o tienen una licencia libre. La política de la wikipedia en español es lo mismo. Con la excepción de logos muy simples o muy viejos (demasiado viejo para series de televisión), no son en el dominio público, y no es probable que el dueño de los derechos concede una licencia libre. - Jmabel ! talk 21:36, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

What is the most straightforward way to upload 600MB+ webm files of aerial drone video footage that I own the copyright to?
I have shot, curated, and edited video footage of nature that is taken from overhead with my DJI Mavic Air 2, while travelling across countryside Japan. I have high quality aerial video footage of forests, mountains, rivers and seas from across Okinawa Prefecture, Nagano Prefecture, Toyama Prefecture, Fukui Prefecture, Shiga Prefecture, Kyoto Prefecture, Hyogo Prefecture, and Okayama Prefecture, and would like to upload it to Commons under a free licence. The usual upload form that I normally use has a maximum upload file size of 100MB, or 5GB if a whitelisted URL is provided; neither of these seem to allow me to upload my content to Commons. Is there another way in which I can do this?
Currently there is very little drone video content from Japan available on Commons, and I would like to remedy this. I am officially registered as a drone operator under MLIT DIPS until July 2027, so I also have the luxury of being able to produce even more Japan-based content in the future, since Japan is a country where drone flight is otherwise prohibited, which probably explains the lack of content contributed by Commons users. I would prefer to upload my content directly to a free-licence content repository like Commons, so people can freely and easily download and reuse the files for their own projects (e.g. for filler B-roll scenes), rather than to YouTube where the average user may not know how to jump through all the hoops and hurdles to obtain the video files. --benlisquareTalk•Contribs 04:24, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- There is Commons:Maximum file size to consider. This refers to Help:Chunked_upload a feature of Special:UploadWizard. Commons:Upload tools lists a video tool at them bottom.
- Personally, I don't have any experience with large files, but found Commons:Command-line_upload#Python_Wikipedia_Bot convenient for series of small ones. Not sure if and how it works for large files.
- If you add drone videos, it's definitely worth also adding photos from these as you did above. At File:From Preda to Bergün with Rhaetian Railway, aerial video.webm, I tried to add thumbnails of key sequences.
∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 11:12, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, I wasn't aware that UploadWizard supported chunked uploading of larger files. I'll try it out and see how things go. Thanks for the advice! --benlisquareTalk•Contribs 11:30, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
Can someone help me organise Korean War photos by year and month?

Are temporary image files for seeking context supported?
I am in the midst of processing a series of historical images documenting the fall of the Berlin Wall, street protests in East Germany, and the development of the Velvet Revolution in Prague. This is a multi‑stage exercise that involves scanning and post‑processing the analog images. But it also involves digging into the historical contexts of the material. I would like to parallelize this work. So can I upload low‑res scans to Wikimedia to get help with that interpretation — and then later delete these files? That temporary low quality material would also be clearly watermarked "PROOF" so that it can be easily identified as transient. TIA, RobbieIanMorrison (talk) 08:11, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- @RobbieIanMorrison: Probably technically yes, but why would it be any harder to upload the full-res files in the first place? - Jmabel ! talk 21:38, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Jmabel: Hello and thanks for responding. The first scans were rough and low quality and are now being repeated and the images edited for contrast and clarity and such. I also like to add good EXIF metadata to the proper upload so that information is also captured in the file and remains on download (but I guess one can reissue another variant with just some revised metadata later on). So it looks like I should just wait until I have done as much as I can from my side before publishing on Wikimedia. RobbieIanMorrison (talk) 09:02, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- @RobbieIanMorrison: I hadn't considered the better scans not yet being available. Yes, if it is somehow useful, you can upload the available but less good scan first, then overwrite it with a better scan later. (It's OK to overwrite your own upload with an improved image.) Just don't use ImageNote or anything else that would be invalidated by having an image whose dimensions are different.
- In short, you would not delete, but could overwrite with a better version. If something significant changes in your knowledge, in principle you could also rename. We try not to do too much renaming here, so if for a lot of these you won't immediately be able to give appropriate filenames, you might hold off on doing too many uploads. But feel free to upload a few that you might need some help with. - Jmabel ! talk 14:59, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- To give scale for "We try not to do too much renaming here," someone recently requested renaming for a couple of hundred of their own uploads, and the resulting backlog was cleared in a day or so. So if we're talking about fewer than say 250 files, I wouldn't worry about getting the name wrong initially if that makes your workflow easier. --bjh21 (talk) 16:22, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Jmabel and Bjh21: Thanks for your replies. Given there is no straightforward way of creating short‑lived image files, I will press on with the strategy of collecting as much information as I can outside of Wikimedia Commons first. Notwithstanding, the responses on this particular thread did clarify some workflow issues for me. Thanks. RobbieIanMorrison (talk) 22:01, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

How to upload a word file?
How to upload a word file? Praful Godkar WIKI (talk) 13:23, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Can you provide some more details? Such as what is the purpose of the file? What application was used to generate the file (I presume you mean a Microsoft Word document)? Why does the information need to be stored on Wikimedia? Is the material covered by copyright and if so, does it carry an acceptable open license. That kind of information will help others respond to your question or perhaps advise against adding it to Wikimedia. Best wishes, RobbieIanMorrison (talk) 16:37, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Old painting with Copyright restriction
I was hoping to upload Still Life with Chocolate Service (1770), but when downloading the image from the Spanish museum website the image is claimed to be "Copyright ©Museo Nacional del Prado". Is this because it is a high-quality image? Are there any work-arounds? Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 00:56, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Rollinginhisgrave: The museum doesn't hold the copyright, so their claim is baseless. You can upload the file, but please make sure you provide all the details (author, source, date, etc.).
{{PD-Art|PD-old-100-expired}}
is the right license. Yann (talk) 09:23, 13 September 2024 (UTC)- @Rollinginhisgrave: Here is some more background, involving case law from the United Kingdom from 2023. In that ruling and quoting from Wikipedia EN on Digital copies: "A November 2023 Appeal Court judgement (THJ v. Sheridan, 2023) by Lord Justice Arnold clarified that, in the UK, no new copyright is created in making a photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional public domain artwork, and that this has been the case since 2009." See: Lord Justice Arnold (20 November 2023). THJ v Sheridan. United Kingdom: Court of Appeal. If you read that Wikipedia EN section further, you will find a similar sentiment from the UK Intellectual Property Office issued in 2014/2015. In the absence of Wikimedia policy (my searches revealed nothing), my suggestion is that you ignore the copyright notice and upload the file in question as public domain.

Formatting the title of a category
I've recently created the category 'Syzygium wilsonii subsp. cryptophlebium'. To be true to standard scientific practice, the title should be formatted as 'Syzygium wilsonii subsp. cryptophlebium', which I tried to do using {{DISPLAYTITLE}} at the very top of the page. This works, but it produces a large ugly red warning at the top of the page as follows:
Warning: Display title "Category:<i>Syzygium wilsonii</i> subsp. <i>cryptophlebium</i>" overrides earlier display title "Category:<i>Syzygium wilsonii subsp. cryptophlebium</i>".

However, I no longer need to access anything on Commons and want to end my monthly donation. Please give me the link to do that.

good evening; we recently contributed a modest article about our group - Teatr STOP to Wikipedia. It is currently being reviewed by more experienced editors. We would like to place a graphic file in this article in the Teatr infobox template, which is the group's logo. What license should I provide when sending this file? I would like to mention that the symbol in the file is my work (computer graphics), and I used our poster for this purpose, which we have been using for many years. Since 1990, I think.

Is it possible for someone to create this - similar to the one at English Wikipedia? My main reason for requesting is to tag image descriptions for information on date of image, when the date of the image is clearly different to the upload date. One such example is File:Wing Parade - RAF Wittering.jpg - those RAF uniforms were in use during the 1950s and early 60s, but categorically not in 2012, or even 1982! Maybe code the template to directly ping the original uploader (if that is actually possible) to request supplying the date of the image.

Picture in the public domain but without documentation
In doing research, I was able to contact someone who had a picture of the Currituck Shooting Club from 1920, making the image public domain. However, I have no way of proving this, except that the museum which displayed the image and the person who gave it to me both indicate it is from 1920. Not sure how to proceed on this.
Thank you,
Packer1028 (talk) 04:47, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- The general answer is that you don't have to prove it, but should include enough information that others can come to the same conclusion as you. For U.S. images, the main issue is the date of publication. If it wasn't published at the time, but only after being digitised by the museum, it might very well still be under copyright (if the publication happened in a specific span of years).
- Make sure you include the information you have in the file description, perhaps with some additional comments on the talk page. Link the museum page where the image is shown, to allow people to do research via the museum.

- @Kemaluk: WLM questions should really be asked on a WLM talk page. It would be sheer coincidence for anyone who knows what is going on there to be looking at the help desk. - Jmabel ! talk 19:39, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
Categorizing redirected categories
I have a category for a topic that has two very different names that are often used by various sources, so I use one as the cat name and the other as a redirect to it:
- Category:Riedl-Pfleiderer process → Category:Anthraquinone process
{{Cat redirect}} says "Redirected categories should...not categorised themselves." In this example, one of the two names also belongs in a certain cat due to it being an eponymous name. Is this a reasonable exception to the cat-redirect notice, so that specifically "Riedl-Pfleiderer process" can be categorized as being eponymous? It is not true that "Anthraquinone process" is eponymous. DMacks (talk) 12:21, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- It's tempting, but in this case I wouldn't as querying the parent of the redirect and its subcategories wont give any result.
- I think, in general, naming relations can refer to secondary names for the category, not necessarily the one in the category name.
∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 13:18, 16 September 2024 (UTC)- Ooh, I didn't think about the mechanical process of going down the tree, and that {{Cat redirect}} is not technically the same as #REDIRECT. I was focused on avoiding having a non-eponymous entry in a cat that is defined as containing eponymous things. DMacks (talk) 18:35, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

- @Bolitachan: I don't see a question or a context here. If there is some language you write better than English, you might try using it. Otherwise, I believe you'll need to reword this for anyone to work out what you want to know. - Jmabel ! talk 19:12, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

Please help
I would like to add an image of the F.C. Dallas new stadium development. The stadium owner, the City of Frisco, released these images to the public so I believe they should be fair to use on the FC Dallas and Toyota Stadium pages but I want to be sure they’re cited properly. Can someone help with this? Here’s the source for the images: https://www.fcdallas.com/news/toyota-stadium-to-undergo-multi-million-dollar-renovation Flavius Constantine (talk) 05:34, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

Cancellazione immagini
Buongiorno, ho caricato erroneamente delle immagini del Duomo di Macerata che non c'entrano con esso, sono infatti relative al vicino Santuario Basilica della Madonna della Misericordia, che ho poi caricato sulla pagina relativa. Chiede di cancellare le immagini che ho caricato in modo errato del Duomo.
