Template talk:GFDL-self-with-disclaimers

Explanation of the move from GFDL-self-with-disclaimers to GFDL-self-en
I was asked to provide an explanation.
 * All free images on all wikis will ideally be moved to commons.
 * It would be on the best interest of the common goal of the free encyclopedia (Wikipedia) and free image repository (Commons) for the license templates to have identical naming.
 * Naming of license templates on commons are done with multilingualism in mind. A person editing/reviewing commons may not necessarily know any English. Preferably we avoid giving any language a priority. The -en here is the ISO code for English.
 * "with-disclaimers" is a problem not unique to English wikipedia. There were wikis that copied the en.wikipedia license template with it's emphasis on disclaimers. This can cause a possible problems when images are moved to commons because we have many flavors of the GFDL template.

Fix parameter dw used as template
The template needs to be fixed by inserting right-brace "}" in the unclosed triple curly braces of parameter dw in "{{#ifeq:{{{ dw}}|yes" before the "|yes". The syntax glitch was introduced on 15 May 2013 (see edit: dif509), as a link to redlink Template:Dw in 20,282 pages. After update, then the edit-preview of this template will no longer show " Template:Dw " in the list of templates used. Impact: Over 20,280 pages. -Wikid77 (talk) 09:52, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Done. Nice catch! — Mr. Stradivarius  {{sup|♪ talk ♪}} 11:52, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
