== Files used on DCW website ==
 
Hi @[[User:Bjh21|Bjh21]]. I'd appreciate if you could help set up a page that lists files that we are using on our website at dcwwiki.org. The category could be something like: Files used by Deoband Community Wikimedia (or just DCW). Best regards, [[User:TheAafiAafi (DCW)|TheAafiAafi (DCW)]] ([[User talk:TheAafiAafi (DCW)|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 16:09, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 
:@[[User:TheAafiAafi (DCW)|TheAafiAafi (DCW)]]: That sounds like a good idea. At present, Usage Bot only has community approval to maintain galleries for Wikimedia chapters, so I've proposed over on [[Commons talk:Tracking external file usage]] that this should be extended to all kinds of Wikimedia movement affiliate, including DCW. --[[User:Bjh21|bjh21]] ([[User talk:Bjh21#top|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 17:40, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

:::@[[User:Bjh21|Bjh21]]: Thanks for the great work and setting up [[Commons:Files used by Deoband Community Wikimedia]]. I wonder why files from [https://dcwwiki.org/DCW_Conversation_Hour this page] don't show up? or do I get it right that this is a behavior issue with [[:mw:Extension:LinkCards]]?

::::@[[User:TheAafiAafi (DCW)|TheAafiAafi (DCW)]]: Yes, I think the problem is that <code><nowiki>{{#linkcards:...}}</nowiki></code> doesn't properly mark the files as being in use. If you look at https://dcwwiki.org/File:Tanveer_Hasan_20180912.jpg (the first picture on the page), you can see that under "File usage" the page says "There are no pages that use this file." If the wiki can't tell that the file is in use, neither can Usage Bot. --[[User:Bjh21|bjh21]] ([[User talk:Bjh21#top|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 09:39, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

::::::Hi @[[User:Bjh21|Bjh21]]. It appears that the issue of the Extension not displaying file usage, is sorted now. You can for ecxample check with https://dcwwiki.org/File:Tanveer_Hasan_20180912.jpg and find its usage. Unsure why the bot hasn't reflected this here yet?

:::::::@[[User:Aafi (DCW)|Aafi (DCW)]]: The bot only runs against other MediaWiki sites once a week, on Mondays, so my guess is that the fix was deployed after last Monday. I've asked the bot to specifically update the DCW gallery, and now that file is properly listed. --[[User:Bjh21|bjh21]] ([[User talk:Bjh21#top|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 21:28, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

== File rename ==
Hi - I tried to rename this file [[:File:Protest Tbilisi 21 April 2024 (53884233412).jpg]] - which request you reverted - to a filename in line with a handful of others of the same date, same event, same site, same source and same photographer (that is me) - so that they are neatly together in a category that holds currently a few dozen photos of various dates. See the other files here [[:Category:Demonstrations and protests in Georgia in 2024]] - files [[:File:2024 Georgian Protests, April 21 (3).jpg]] to [[:File:2024 Georgian Protests, April 21 (6).jpg]]. The discrepancy occurred, when I uploaded a few files and took a break. - to be continued some hours later for the remainder of the photos. In the meantime, another commons user checked my Flickr album and decided to go ahead with uploading the photos that I just prepared - using a different filename format and the automatic flickr2commons algorithm. Honestly, I don't see the problem here to just move ahead and allow the filenames of the same series of photos to match just so they will be together in this folder that spans multiple protests. The alternative is that I make a separate category, but I think that really shouldn't be necessary to make life easier for our users who look for suitable photos - and possibly for a specific date / event - taking in consideration that in such a bucket photos it is more convenient to have photos sorted together that belong to the same event and day. Thank you for your consideration and patience. --[[User:Labrang|Labrang]] ([[User talk:Labrang|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 17:03, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
 
:@[[User:Labrang|Labrang]]: I have added a <code><nowiki>{{DEFAULTSORT}}</nowiki></code> to the file so that now it sorts next to its fellows. I think that should satisfy your concerns. --[[User:Bjh21|bjh21]] ([[User talk:Bjh21#top|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 20:28, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

== License migration ==
 
Hi! I see you have been working on license migration. You have written for some files that "Mark for GFDL review: upload date between 2008-11-01 and 2009-07-31 inclusive, so relicensing depends on its not having been published elsewhere under GFDL first".
 
I think that if copyright holder upload the file to a Wikimedia project it does not matter if the file has been published somewhere else. It is relevant if someone publish it as GFDL somewhere and then someone else copy it to a Wikimedia project.
 
Anyway if uploader gave no indications that it was published somewhere else first then we have no way to know. Just as we have no way to know if uploader is really the photographer. So I think it is safe to relicense. [[User:MGA73|MGA73]] ([[User talk:MGA73|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 19:43, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
 
:@[[User:MGA73|MGA73]]: The relevant criterion on [[Commons:GFDL 1.3 relicensing criteria]] says {{tq|If first published under the GFDL '''somewhere other than a Wikimedia project''', must have been uploaded to Commons or to some other Wikimedia project '''before November 1, 2008'''.}} There is no mention of who uploaded the file to Commons, either here or in criterion 3, so I think it's irrelevant. I can't quite understand how these criteria relate to GFDL 1.3 section 11, but it doesn't seem to distinguish incorporation into an MMC by the author from incorporation by others. --[[User:Bjh21|bjh21]] ([[User talk:Bjh21#top|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 20:57, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
 
::Correct. But it is not how the license migration was done originally on Commons (or English Wikipedia) so if you are right that there is a problem then it apply to all files uploaded after November 2008. But as I say we have no way to know unless the uploader specifly say it is published somewhere else first. The only reason I can think of for having two different dates is that it is much harder for someone to find out and opt-out of license migration if file was copied to Commons by someone else than copyright holder. Therefore they need a longer notice.
:: On another note perhaps [[:n:Requests for comment/GFDL to CC License Migration of files]] may be of interesst to you? --[[User:MGA73|MGA73]] ([[User talk:MGA73|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 05:23, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
::: And just noticed we had a similar discussion in 2020 :-) But hopefully it will soon be over because I have been working on all wikis for months to complete this project. And also making sure that GFDL does not have disclaimers. There are around 160k files with GFDL on all wikis (apart from Commons) so another issue is if they are eligible for Commons or not (because Commons does not accept GFDL-only after 2018). --[[User:MGA73|MGA73]] ([[User talk:MGA73|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 05:34, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I write to you on behalf of the community of oesterreichwiki.org formally known as RegiowikiAt. Yesterday RegiowikiAt was rembranded and moved to a new Website: oesterreichwiki.org.

== Wikimaps Warper ==
 
Hi Bjh21, I noticed you use the tool and manage to have bounding boxes updated on Commons. Any suggestions why it doesn't work for others? See [[Commons:Village_pump/Technical#Wikimaps_Warper_edits_not_working]].
 
Also, I made [[:Category:Wikimaps Warper]]. If you want to add to it? BTW, I think the possibility to search maps should somehow be integrated in Commons and extended to all maps. <br/>&nbsp;∞∞&nbsp;[[User:Enhancing999|Enhancing999]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Enhancing999|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 16:56, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
