Forum:Importing images from wikipedia and commons

Is there a add on like the Flickr upload tool to help import images from wikipedia or commons with the copyright / license data included, rather than manual copying to the computer and then uploading and having to manually add all the attached data and back links to source. In some article were suitable images are unavailable from my own collection a image from commons would be useful to illustrate the article. - BulldozerD11 00:44, March 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * I upload the image to Wikia, and then link back to the free image on the Commons or Wikipedia. Here is a template you can copy:
 * http://cannabis.wikia.com/wiki/Template:From_Wikimedia


 * I leave on a note on the Wikia image page to go to the Wikimedia page for attribution, sources, and more info. This is easy, and very helpful for charts that get updated using new source links, etc.. I don't have to keep copying new source info after every update. --Timeshifter 01:08, March 17, 2010 (UTC)
