- @Z1KA: I am not certain why you are requesting the renaming of a dynamic file to a static name--irrespective of the abuse filter issue. Part of that filter is picking up undesired change of scope of the file. — billinghurst sDrewth 12:36, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Because it is unnecessary to be dynamic due to the fact that there are more templates and files that use the old data. There are files for each election year (from 1996 to 2018) and it should be dynamic only for the mandate period (2022-2026). I can just upload new file and change it on every wikipedia project, but renaming it should be easier. Did you even read the reason? Z1KA (talk) 12:41, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Whether you think that it is unnecessary or not is not a reason for you to request the rename of a file that specifically has been created to be dynamic. If you feel the need for the static version of the file, then go and create it. If you think that the purpose of the file is incorrect, then put it before the community at Com:VP not unilaterally request a change. — billinghurst sDrewth 12:56, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- I've created the new file and move everything from that one to the new one. Thank you! Z1KA (talk) 13:00, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

- @Zarana Mehta (Architectural & Interior Designer ) and Zarana Mehta (Architectural Designer ): Hi, and welcome. I am sorry to inform you that you have triggered Special:AbuseFilter/153 by trying to cross-wiki upload a smaller (<50,000 bytes or <2,000,000 pixels) jpg image as a new user. The image you tried to upload is smaller, and you indicated it's your own work. Usually when someone uploads a smaller image, it is a copyright violation taken from the web. If you made the image yourself, please upload the full-size original of it per COM:HR, including EXIF metadata. If you did not make the image, please see Commons:Licensing for why we can't accept it, and have the image photographer / designer license it on their official website or social media, or send the image and permission via VRT with a carbon copy to you. If you can't get a compliant license, the image may still be uploaded to English Wikipedia in compliance with en:WP:F because we don't allow Fair Use here. If you use our Upload Wizard instead, you should be able to avoid that filter. I am also sorry to inform you that you have triggered Special:AbuseFilter/245 by trying to edit a page in userspace that is not your account's (your spammy autobiography) without being autopatrolled. Why do you need multiple accounts? In addition, the space between "Designer" and ")" violates the aesthetics of username design. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 01:05, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

- @MerakFacultyofInternationalCommunicationSciences: Hi, and welcome. I am sorry to inform you that you have triggered Special:AbuseFilter/153 by trying to cross-wiki upload png images as a new user, and other filters. Such uploads of png images are not allowed at all. The following applies to each image. You indicated it's your own work. Usually when someone uploads a png image, it's a copyright violation taken from the web. Please upload the full-size original of it per COM:HR, including any metadata, but if you were not the original image designer or photographer, that person may need to post permission on their official website or social media, or send it via VRT with a carbon copy to you. Also, it will look fuzzy when scaled down (due to design decisions discussed in phab:T192744), so you may want to upload a jpg or svg version, too. If you can't get compliant licenses, the images may still be uploaded to English Wikipedia in compliance with en:WP:F because we don't allow Fair Use here. If you use our Upload Wizard instead, you should be able to avoid that filter. In addition, you appear to have tried creating a non-gallery page in our mainspace, which we use for galleries. Special:AbuseFilter/122 worked as intended. We do not host encyclopedia articles, résumés, CVs, current ads, random advice, etc. here on Wikimedia Commons per COM:NOT. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 20:36, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Instead of doing that, you should have used the original {{Flickrreview}} tag.

Update Cross-wiki upload filter (# 153)
To implement Commons:Village_pump/Proposals#Deactivate_cross-wiki_uploads_for_new_users, I think the following would be needed:
- If not: !("confirmed" in user_groups | "autopatrol" in user_rights)
- display: MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning-cwuploads updated to (or a new message at MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning-cwuploads-nonew) with something like:
- As you haven't uploaded several files to Wikimedia Commons before, please use Special:UploadWizard. The Wizard will walk you through the process.
- If you consider uploading a company logo, please read our introduction about logos.

- This huge change needs to be announced to the other Wikis first. GPSLeo (talk) 17:00, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Ideally, it needs changes there too. Do you know which messages need to be updated there? Enhancing999 (talk) 17:02, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- I think the m:Tech/News newsletter would be the best place to inform everyone. For the filter it would be better to just hide the cross-wiki upload feature for those who do not have the right to use it. GPSLeo (talk) 17:29, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Well, changes need to be done in the interface there too. At Wikipedia, it should be possible to limit the number users who see the feature, but can't use it, but it's not entirely possible to handle it on (say) enwiki, as enwiki doesn't know if the user has uploaded to Commons or not.

Not done at this stage. I would also flag the CoI in bringing this here. With this sort of change, I don't believe that the consultation across the wikis has been sufficient for implementation. There needs to be a broader RFC that is announced and open to the wikis, not solely an internal navel-gazing conversation. — billinghurst sDrewth 11:36, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

- @JimMorrisonUSA: Hi, and welcome. I am sorry to inform you that you have triggered Special:AbuseFilter/153 by trying to cross-wiki upload a smaller (<50,000 bytes or <2,000,000 pixels) jpg image as a new user, Special:AbuseFilter/156 by trying to upload a smaller (<50,000 bytes) jpg image as a new user, and Special:AbuseFilter/154 by trying to upload content that has appeared elsewhere as a new user. The image you tried to upload is smaller, and you indicated it's your own work. Usually when someone uploads a smaller image, it is a copyright violation taken from the web. If you made the image yourself, please upload the full-size original of it per COM:HR, including EXIF metadata. If you did not take the image, please see Commons:Licensing for why we can't accept it as-is, and have the designer or photographer post Commons:Licensing compliant permission for such work on their website or social media presence or send the image and permission via VRT with a carbon copy to you. If you can't get a compliant license, the image may still be uploaded to English Wikipedia in compliance with en:WP:F because we don't allow Fair Use here. If you use our Upload Wizard instead, you should be able to avoid filter 153. You also triggered Special:AbuseFilter/154 by trying to upload content that has appeared elsewhere as a new user. In addition, you appear to have tried creating a non-gallery page in our mainspace, which we use for galleries. Special:AbuseFilter/122 worked as intended. We do not host encyclopedia articles, résumés, CVs, current ads, random advice, etc. here on Wikimedia Commons per COM:NOT. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 05:17, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Too many people try to upload audio files that are still copyrighted by the authors, performers, recorders, publishing companies, etc. without proper licenses from those people. Please document fully the sources and licenses of your audio uploads, and request Autopatrol group membership at COM:RFR when you think you are ready (once you have made more than 500 useful non-botlike edits); having that should allow you to upload mp3 files. In the meantime, please reencode that and other audio into Vorbis or Opus and upload them with full documentation as .ogg files.
