NowCommons
[edit]The script adds the NowCommons but sometimes the local NowCommons require that "File:" is included and sometimes it does not.
Would it be possble to have an option to include "File:" or not? MGA73 (talk) 07:47, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- This is currently not possible, sorry. FileImporter uses the information available via d:Q5611625. How should it know when it should and when it shouldn't add the namespace? The best option is probably to fix the templates to work like the others.
- Do you know how many language versions are affected? Can you provide examples? Thiemo Kreuz (WMDE) 07:20, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. Sorry I do not know how many languages it affect. The only way FileImporter can know is if there is an option in the configuration where it is possible to et a "Add namespace = no/yes". If it is complicated to add then it would probably be better just to fix the templates. MGA73 (talk) 12:31, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
File with Template:CC BY-SA 2.0 cannot be imported?
[edit]Hello,
I am trying to import the file en:File:Ayre, Tween the Wicks, Flotta, Orkney.jpg (from enwiki) but it does not allow me because it says the license is not compatible for Commons. What do I do? Myrealnamm-alt (talk) 17:56, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- The template is called w:Template:CC BY-SA 2.0. I edited the file information page to use the redirect w:Template:Cc-by-sa-2.0, and then it worked.
- As I understand it, all accepted copyright templates should be listed at Extension:FileImporter/Data/en.wikipedia. Do we have to ensure that there are no redirects in that list? I think that all of the Creative Commons templates have been moved to other names since the list was compiled, and there might also be other templates which have been moved.

- @Stefan2 Thanks! I think there are a few more templates that need to be changed/added to the list... I'll keep an eye out for that. Thanks for your help! Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 20:34, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
