Software screenshot auto-categorization
editprotected

Before the software screenshot templates were merged into Non-free software screenshot, users could select the type of screenshot (Windows, Mac OS, Linux) from the drop-down and have their image be automatically categorized. I propose that we do that again using the following code:


 * Non-free software screenshot|Software screenshot
 * Non-free software screenshot|Screenshots of Windows software|- Windows software screenshot
 * Non-free software screenshot|Screenshots of Mac software|- Mac OS software screenshot
 * linux-software-screenshot|- Non-free Linux software screenshot

I've gone ahead and added editprotected to this request, as I don't think it will be controversial and it is entirely reversible. —Remember the dot (talk) 19:47, 25 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I think it warrants discussion; this page is unlikely to be well watched. I would suggest putting this and the other license change on the village pump. &mdash; Carl (CBM · talk) 23:19, 25 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, I requested comments at Village pump (technical). What is the "other license change" you are referring to? —Remember the dot (talk) 00:50, 26 August 2007 (UTC)


 * This page probably gets watched a little I'd guess, I found it here anyway :) Are you wanting them to be categorized? Because if so we will need more templates? How you have it above (assuming linux-software-screenshot is deleted) they will have 3 choices but only one real choice. I'd rather not have 3 templates when the license is really the same for all of them. - cohesion 23:41, 26 August 2007 (UTC)


 * It's all using the same template, Template:Non-free software screenshot. But this way, it would make use of the optional categorization parameter already in place. This should alleviate the concerns of users who didn't like the template unification because it decreased image categorization. —Remember the dot (talk) 02:54, 27 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh, nevermind :) I went ahead and changed it, I don't think people will object to this. I did change the linux one to be using the same template though, since the linux specific one is up for deletion (which I also think it is a good idea!). - cohesion 03:15, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Request addition of Non-Free 2D art and Non-Free 3D art templates to licensing drop down list
editprotected Although I have raised this subject elsewhere, I was eventually directed to this page to make this request, that the templates Non-free 2D art and Non-free 3D art be added to this page and thus the licensing template drop down list on the upload page, whic would save (particularly inexperienced) users considerable time and confusion. The templates are both of major significance to art image categories. According to the user who directed me here, the code change would be from this: to this:

 * Per Wikipedia talk:Upload/Uploadtext/en-nonfree, I'm declining this for now until more eyeballs have looked it over. Skomorokh,  barbarian  10:07, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
