Template discussion

Reason for template: While tidying up some of the image description backlog I kept noticing that a large number of images had been licensed as uploader's own work, yet appeared to be obvious scans / images of someone elses work. A lot of these have been included in articles across the WikiPedia family, so would prefer to give user opportunity to correct the problem / change license rationale without going directly to PUF.

I have had a look for something similar, but haven't managed to locate anything. Obviously if something is already out there in Template space, there is no need for this one!

Suggested name: Template:icself-check

Documentation: would be outline use (placed on user talk page to give opportunity to edit apparently wrong application of {{self}} before going WikiPedia:PUF) & indicate that it is called with subst:

Any suggestions, rewording, simplifications, missing bits, improvement to way it is coded (eg. I'm hoping that as it stands it will automatically be Substituted) - or just a pointer to an existing template that does this already - before I copy it into Template Space much appreciated. --Haruth (talk) 02:56, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Assuming this goes ahead, it should be available in conjunction with Twinkle's image tagging for those of us who use it to tag images more quickly. ww2censor (talk) 05:11, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
