Explanation of the move from {{GFDL-self-with-disclaimers}} to {{GFDL-self-en}}

[edit]

I was asked to provide an explanation.

  • All free images on all wikis will ideally be moved to commons.
  • It would be on the best interest of the common goal of the free encyclopedia (Wikipedia) and free image repository (Commons) for the license templates to have identical naming.
  • Naming of license templates on commons are done with multilingualism in mind. A person editing/reviewing commons may not necessarily know any English. Preferably we avoid giving any language a priority. The -en here is the ISO code for English.
  • "with-disclaimers" is a problem not unique to English wikipedia. There were wikis that copied the en.wikipedia license template with it's emphasis on disclaimers. This can cause a possible problems when images are moved to commons because we have many flavors of the GFDL template.

Edokter: Hehe, editconflict, you are too fast.
Kelly: Ah, nice to see so well worked through code. And you already made the /doc page and redirected its /doc talk page and all! --David Göthberg (talk) 15:02, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Putting into a sub category of Category:GFDL images

Fix parameter dw used as template

[edit]

The template needs to be fixed by inserting right-brace "}" in the unclosed triple curly braces of parameter dw in "{{#ifeq:{{{dw}}|yes" before the "|yes". The syntax glitch was introduced on 15 May 2013 (see edit: dif509), as a link to redlink Template:Dw in 20,282 pages. After update, then the edit-preview of this template will no longer show "Template:Dw" in the list of templates used.
Impact: Over 20,280 pages. -Wikid77 (talk) 09:52, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Nice catch! — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 11:52, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
