Forum:Image Copyright Assistance.

Hello,

As an admin of the Galaxy On Fire Wiki, we have recently have begun to create a better copyright and integrity policy. We have contacted the creator of the Galaxy on Fire game, Fishlambs GmbH, and they replied

"namj13,  We have been discussing the topic at our latest meeting and you are able to use any images from our open websites (screens, images, videos, etc..). For us it is quite important to mark any Fishlabs related content (mostly images and screens) with the following sentence: "© 2012 FISHLABS Entertainment GmbH"."

Is it possible to mass edit photos on the wiki, or to change the copyright status to a custom status similar to protected in which the copyright text is listed?

Thanks

 * You can create a new template to put on the page of each file. There's no way to add it to several pages at once except to reupload, though someone with a bot can add the template to existing pages. I'm not sure how to edit the license dropdown menu (if it's even possible). I am not me (talk) 23:08, September 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * How would I go about creating such a bot? I'm not really good with that kind of stuff.

 * You could use pywikipediabot, which can easily be adapted to other wikis besides Wikipedia; many people, including myself, use it on various wikis on Wikia. If you don't use Linux or Mac OS X, however, it can be a little tricky to get working. I'd be happy to do the job myself if you wish. I am not me (talk) 02:10, September 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Would this blanket edit all the pictures or could be select which ones to edit or not to edit?
