Change to Languages template

Hello Efred, is there a reason for this change to the Languages template? Calling Template:LanguageExistingEn seems to make more sense than calling the generic Template:LanguageExisting with an "En" parameter - after all, Template:LanguageExistingEn will to look not only for "En:Pagename", but also the commonly used plain "Pagename". It seems that most pages using the Language template are now lacking the link to the English page because of this change. --Tordanik 22:24, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi Tordanik... I'm not sure, what you realy mean... Did I made a mistake on a translation? On which site? --Efred 00:38, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Ok, mal auf deutsch: Es geht um diese Bearbeitung deinerseits. "LanguageExistingEn" hat eine andere Wirkung als "LanguageExisting|En" - letzteres behandelt Englisch wie jede andere Sprache auch, ersteres kümmert sich hingegen noch um die Tatsache, dass Seiten ohne Sprachkürzel im OSM-Wiki normalerweise Englisch sind. Hast du das bewusst umgestellt? Wenn ja, warum? --Tordanik 04:36, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi Tordanik... oh hoppla. Da habe ich wohl Mist gebaut. Ich ging davon aus, dass da ein Fehler vorliegt, da bei den anderen Sprachen überall das | dabei war. Sorry. Mein Fehler... Habe es gerade rückgängig gemacht. Danke für die Info. --Efred 09:00, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Softwaretabellen

Hallo Efred! Ich finde es prima, dass du bei der Korrektur des Software-Verzeichnisses mithilfst, die !i! und ich gerade basteln. Leider werden aber Änderungen in der Tabelle selbst (wie diese) bei jedem Update von meinem Bot überschrieben. Die Idee ist ja gerade, dass man neue Informationen nicht mehr in alle Tabellen im Wiki eintragen braucht, sondern nur noch die Wikiseite der Programme selber ändern muss. Schön wäre es daher, wenn du diese Programm-Wikiseiten direkt bearbeiten würdest, im Falle deiner letzten Änderung z.B. Navit. --Tordanik 20:29, 14 September 2010 (BST)

Missing file information

Hello! And thanks for your upload - but some extra info is necessary.

Sorry for bothering you about this, but it is important to know source of the uploaded files.

Are you the author of image File:Efred small.jpg ?

Or is it copied from some other place (which one?)?

Please, add this info to the file page - something like "I took this photo" or "downloaded from -website link-" or "I took this screeshot of program XYZ".

Doing this would be already very useful.

Licensing - photos

In case that you are the author of the image: Would you agree to open licensing of this image, allowing its use by anyone (similarly to your OSM edits)?

In case where it is a photo you (except relatively rare cases) author can make it available under a specific free license.

Would you be OK with CC0 (it allows use without attribution or any other requirement)?

Or do you prefer to require attribution and some other things using CC-BY-SA-4.0?

If you are the author: Please add {{CC0-self}} to the file page to publish the image under CC0 license.

You can also use {{CC-BY-SA-4.0-self}} to publish under CC-BY-SA-4.0 license.

Once you add missing data - please remove {{Unknown|subcategory=uploader notified March 2022}} from the file page.

Licensing - other images

If it is not a photo situation gets a bit more complicated.

See Drafts/Media file license chart that may help.

note: if you took screenshot of program made by someone else, screenshot of OSM editor with aerial imagery: then licensing of that elements also matter and you are not a sole author.

note: If you downloaded image made by someone else then you are NOT the author.

Note that in cases where photo is a screenshot of some software interface: usually it is needed to handle also copyright of software itself.

Note that in cases where aerial imagery is present: also licensing of an aerial imagery matter.

Help

Feel free to ask for help if you need it - you can do it for example by asking on Talk:Wiki: new topic.

Please ask there if you are not sure what is the proper next step. Especially when you are uploading files that are not your own work or are derivative work (screenshots, composition of images, using aerial imagery etc).

If you are interested in wider discussion about handling licencing at OSM Wiki, see this thread.
