Help talk:File copyright tags

Error in text
I think there is an error in the text. In my mind in "Non-free Creative Commons licenses are also not permitted. This includes images which do not allow non-commercial use or derivative works (NC and ND licenses), since these are non-free" should be replaced by "do not allow commercial" which is the meaning of "NC". 159.226.129.8 02:52, January 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * I believe you are right - I have tweaked the text. Kirkburn (talk) 10:51, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

References to GFDL
At least two. Are they overdue for updating? (Preferably before my new assistant on "Country Life" takes them as gospel.) — Robin Patterson (Talk) 02:50, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

About copyrighted images
If I'm not mistaken about the content of this page, I can make use of copyrighted images, as long as I note the image under the proper copyright? If that's not the case, then forget I even asked. But if that is possible, then could somebody explain more plainly how I can make use of the copyright tags, so I don't keep getting copyrighted pics deleted? I mean, I love some of the pics I find, so it's pretty disappointing to see them soon deleted. If there's something I can do about it, I'd be most grateful to know what that something is. Thanks in advanced. Shadowulf1 (talk) 08:19, July 7, 2013 (UTC)

Adding tags
Is it possible to edit/add new tags? DinoTaur 19:53, September 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * You can edit the list on MediaWiki:Licenses on your wiki to add new licenses to the dropdown of the file upload page. You will need to create the Templates yourself, of course. Existing templates (like for example Template:Fairuse) can also be edited. - Tjcool007 (Wall) 20:03, September 13, 2013 (UTC)

Remove 'No license'?
Seeing as Community Central has itself removed it, shouldn't this Help page also remove reference to the "No license" license template?--TwoTailedFox (talk) 11:21, January 29, 2016 (UTC)

Link to MW:Licenses
I believe this help page should link to MediaWiki:Licenses, as it may be helpful to some admins to edit the contents of that message in the context of the image copyright tags. After all, it is specifically whitelisted and mentioned on Help:System messages. ~ SlyCooperFan1 [message &middot; contributions] 22:01, February 17, 2019 (UTC)
 * Good suggestion - I have added a sentence about it (feel free to expand it if you like). noreplyz  talk 02:55, February 18, 2019 (UTC)

Interwiki links
Some of the interwiki links from the What are the licensing tags? section don't work anymore and link directly to the FANDOM homepage. I don't know how to fix them, though. It's those that use "homepage:w:Template:" in their code. (Guess, this has something to do with the move from "wikia" to "fandom", and probably more articles are affected.) -- CompleCCity -- You talkin' to me? -- cCContributions -- 12:20, May 15, 2019 (UTC)
 * I made the rest of the links also use the starter wiki, thanks for pointing it out. --Sharkie 13:42, May 15, 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks. What are the FANDOM starter pages? The main page lacks some description. ;) -- CompleCCity -- You talkin' to me? -- cCContributions -- 15:38, May 15, 2019 (UTC)


 * starter wiki consists of default pages that would be loaded at the time of wiki creation Ex: templates.
 * Thanks! another time.
 * Your signature creates a line break or other whitespace behind it, Anoop. -- CompleCCity -- You talkin' to me? -- cCContributions -- 17:22, May 15, 2019 (UTC)
