MediaWiki Dischkrian:Licenses

Dateien hochladen, Assistent zum Auffilodn vo Datein?

Hello! Sorry for writing in English. It was noted that on this wiki there is little community activity around uploads: less than 50 "leschn" actions in "Datei" last year.

I guess this wiki doesn't have the interest or energies to maintain complex templates and metadata, especially for EDP files. I propose to

• send users to commons:Special:UploadWizard from the sidebar and
• limit local "Datei auffelodn" to the "Administratorn" group (for any emergency uploads),

so that no new work is needed on this wiki and all users can have a functioning, easy upload interface in their own language. All registered users can upload on Commons.

All this will be done around 2014-09-30.

1. If you disagree with the proposal, just remove this wiki from the list.
2. To make the UploadWizard even better, please tell your experience and ideas on commons:Commons:Upload Wizard feedback.
3. In all cases, existing files will not be affected, but everyone is welcome to join m:File metadata cleanup drive. The goal is to give better credit to the authors who provided us their works.

@Nemo: This can only be done, if the local community agrees with it. The complete community, not only admins. I advice you to stop your project. Chaddy (dischkrian) 17:41, 19. Sep. 2014 (CEST)

Remove GFDL

GFDL is meant for software manuals and it is not good for media because it makes it difficult to re-use the material. Motivated by the the wish of making it easier to re-use files Wikimedia Foundation Board decided in 2009 to stop using GFDL as a sole license per this message. So I suggest that GFDL is removed as a suggested license.

Also the latest version of CC is 4.0. --MGA73 (dischkrian) 19:31, 14. Apr. 2021 (CEST)

Adding missing word "manuals". It will not affect existing files. --MGA73 (dischkrian) 18:10, 16. Jun. 2021 (CEST)

Hallo! GFDL ist nicht gut für Medien, da es die Wiederverwendung des Materials erschwert. Ich schlage daher vor, es aus der Liste zu entfernen. Es wirkt sich nicht auf vorhandene Dateien aus. --MGA73 (dischkrian) 18:10, 16. Jun. 2021 (CEST)

Another problem is that Vorlog:Bild-GFDL mention both GFDL and Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 but the upload test only say "sejm eastehd, lizenziad mit da GNU-Lizenz fia freie Dokumentation (GFDL)" so it is confusing and not clear if the file is GFDL-only or GFDL and Cc-by-sa-3.0. --MGA73 (dischkrian) 22:26, 2.

This license is only one of several. Users can use this license, even if it is not perfect. It is up to the users which license they assign. WikiBayer (dischkrian) 19:05, 3. Aug. 2021 (CEST)

Hi WikiBayer! Thank you for your reply. But users may not know that the license is not good. Many users do not know (or care) much about copyright. They just want to contribute to Wikipedia and pick whatever license is suggested. English Wikipedia have recently decided that GFDL-only is no longer permitted (August 2021). So I still think it should be removed but if you do not wish to remove it perhaps you could move GFDL below Bild-CC-by/3.0/de and add "not recommended" after GFDL so users know it is not a good license? --MGA73 (dischkrian) 20:01, 5.

Update

Hi! As mentioned above the latest version of creative commons is 4.0. I have created the template Vorlog:Bild-CC-by-sa/4.0. Perhaps someone can update now? --MGA73 (dischkrian) 08:32, 4. Jul. 2024 (CEST)

Suggested update

Hello! I suggest to update from this:

*Sejm eastejde Buidl (koane Scans, Fotos oder Beorbatunga vo fremde Weake!)
**Bild-Unbeschränktes Nutzungsrecht|sejm eastehd, unbschrenkts Nutzungsrecht ohne Eischrenkunga und Bedingunga fia an jedn
**Bild-GFDL|sejm eastehd, lizenziad mit da GNU-Lizenz fia freie Dokumentation (GFDL)
**Bild-CC-by/3.0/de|sejm eastehd, lizenziad mid da Creative Commons Namasnennung - Weidagob unta gleiche Bedingunga 3.0 Deitschland
**Bild-CC-by/4.0/de|sejm eastehd, lizenziad mid da Creative Commons Namasnennung - Weidagob unta gleiche Bedingunga 4.0 Deitschland

To this:

*Sejm eastejde Buidl (koane Scans, Fotos oder Beorbatunga vo fremde Weake!)
**Bild-Unbeschränktes Nutzungsrecht|sejm eastehd, unbschrenkts Nutzungsrecht ohne Eischrenkunga und Bedingunga fia an jedn
**Bild-GFDL-Neu|sejm eastehd, lizenziad mit da GNU-Lizenz fia freie Dokumentation (GFDL)
**Bild-CC-by-sa/3.0/de|sejm eastehd, lizenziad mid da Creative Commons Namasnennung - Weidagob unta gleiche Bedingunga 3.0 Deitschland
**Bild-CC-by-sa/4.0|sejm eastehd, lizenziad mid da Creative Commons Namasnennung - Weidagob unta gleiche Bedingunga 4.0
**Bild-CC-by-sa/4.0+Bild-GFDL-Neu|sejm eastehd, lizenziad mid da Creative Commons Namasnennung - Weidagob unta gleiche Bedingunga 4.0 und da GNU-Lizenz fia freie Dokumentation (GFDL)

The changes are:

1. Bild-GFDL to Bild-GFDL-Neu.
2. Bild-CC-by/3.0/de to Bild-CC-by-sa/3.0/de.
3. Bild-CC-by/4.0/de to Bild-CC-by-sa/4.0 and removed "Deitschland"
4. New dual license of Bild-CC-by-sa/4.0 and Bild-GFDL-Neu

The first change is because Vorlog:Bild-GFDL does not just add GFDL but also Bild-CC-by-sa/3.0 via the w:Wikipedia:Licensing update. The license upgrade was only supposed to be added to files uploaded before August 2009. So it is unclear if files uploaded after August 2009 is licensed GFDL or (hidden) dual licensed GFDL and CC-by-sa/3.0. That can be avoided by using Vorlog:Bild-GFDL-Neu. Also see change four.

The second change is because "gleiche Bedingunga" means the "-sa" part of the license template. So right now the text say uploader agree to Vorlog:Bild-CC-by-sa/3.0/de but the template that is added is Vorlog:Bild-CC-by/3.0/de.

The third change is the same as the second change. Further more "Deitschland" is removed because version 4.0 is no longer country specific but international.

The fourth change is to make an real dual license where the files are licensed GFDL and CC-by-sa/3.0.

I think the fourth change could replace the first change because GFDL is not a good license but instead of a hidden dual license it is better to add a clear dual license.

I ping Nutza:WikiBayer as info. --MGA73 (dischkrian) 18:00, 27. Aug. 2024 (CEST)

The suggestion was announced at Wikipedia:Stammdisch#Update_of_MediaWiki:Licenses and there were no comments (meaning also no objections). It would be great if User:WikiBayer could check and change. --MGA73 (dischkrian) 17:14, 28. Sep. 2024 (CEST)

Done per Special:Diff/844965. --MGA73 (dischkrian) 18:37, 27. Ókt. 2024 (CET)
