Thread:User talk:NeilK/Adding Flickr integration to UploadWizard./reply

Probably very useful.

I don't know what you mean by "is there also scope".

Some previous work:

- Michael Dale's Extension:Add Media Wizard allows you to search for photos on a service like Flickr and then add them directly to Commons. It is kind of a crime that the functionality did not get added to MediaWiki, but there were some political issues there.

- In UploadWizard, there actually is some support for checking a Flickr license already:

But, this does not pull a photo directly from Flickr.
