I never noticed that RC was still on On the Wiki, sorry about that (Although I do feel that it should be in place of Wiki Activity).

About image licensing, I used that code to direct users to Special:Upload, and when I couldn't, hide the buttons. This is so everyone can see MediaWiki:Uploadtext and (with a bit of luck) read it and take it into account. I have seen a massive decrease in the amount of files uploaded that we can't use or host. Before, people would often upload dozens of files, and I have had to go through them all and delete them because they don't abide by local policy. Before, I would waist half an hour simply deleting incorrectly uploaded files and alerting the users, who rarely come back after that.

About licensing, I feel that your image modules obscure the license information. Check out and imagine your just a casual user interested to see where this photograph comes from. If I were them, I would assume that User:Lachlan5963 had taken it. In reality, I've never seen this ride, never mind been on it. I used a photograph from the Wikimedia Commons with sufficient (I believe) licensing information. The only way to access this information is by clicking the title, which I never even knew was a link until I tested it today. I'm almost certain this breaks the Creative Commons license, which this file was released under. Please explain why you want to use this lightbox and why you think the public are too dumb to read or take into account license information. And before you think of citing "consistency", please remember that most people will be used to the largest wiki in the world, and the 5th most viewed website in existence, Wikipedia.
