Imported using FileImporter

I suggest include Imported using FileImporter, in the template Now Commons. BoldLuis (talk) 10:27, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

How? Using a parameter won’t work; without Multilingual Templates and Modules, we can’t make sure that it works across wikis. The name of the template is taken from Wikidata, but Wikidata can’t provide any information on a template other than its name. Tacsipacsi (talk) 17:35, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi @BoldLuis. Currently the template used as default to be added to the source wiki is configured as a Wikidata item of the type Wikimedia template. For the wikis in production this is https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5611625

This way we can make sure that each project gets the language version needed. Apart from that there's no customization possible at the moment. Christoph Jauera (WMDE) (talk) 11:10, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

PD files with hidden revisions

There are a bunch of public domain free files that have hidden revisions because they were wrongly tagged as copyrighted. These can't be imported with fileimporter. How would I move them? Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 18:18, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Get an admin to unhide them. It this is about the English Wikipedia then en:Wikipedia:REFUND is the standard venue. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 19:54, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

I see two options. Either ignore the old revisions and manually re-upload only the latest one. Or ask an admin to undelete the revisions on the source wiki before starting the export. Thiemo Kreuz (WMDE) 19:55, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

I suspect that these files are mostly logos initially tagged with w:Template:Non-free logo and then re-tagged with w:Template:PD-textlogo. If so, carefully check that the deleted revisions aren't older logos for the same entity (which might be copyrighted). Stefan2 (talk) 11:09, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
