 * That can't add it to the toolbox, however, just other sections like navigation or interaction. JavaScript or changes to MediaWiki's PHP would be needed for it to be in the toolbox, unless there's another system message that I'm missing. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 13:48, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Good point. For future references, you need to change "wgUploadNavigationUrl" for that in initialiseSettings.php, which requires a site request on bugzilla. —Th e DJ (talk • contribs) 14:39, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Why won't it upload?
I've tried several times to upload an image, but when I hit the upload button, nothing happens. Why? Mooretwin (talk) 19:17, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Could somebody help? Is it something to do with the settings on my PC?? Mooretwin (talk) 13:43, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I think that Wikipedia's image servers have been having some trouble lately, and that had caused some problems that made uploads impossible... but I thought it was fixed a few days ago. I'd try again in a few days. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 19:39, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Appreciate the reply. Mooretwin (talk) 20:12, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Upload a cover of a album
I'm trying to upload a cover of SafetySuit's album called Life Left To Go. Pecker3378 (Talk)

Can I upload the pages?


 * Please ask at Media copyright questions or Images for upload. See also: Upload/Non-free album cover --Timeshifter (talk) 12:42, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Granted permission..............now need help!
I have been granted permission to upload historical photos from the State Library of South Australia. They have provided me with an email and word document to publish the photos on the wikipedia page I have created. What category do I use and if someone questions the copyright permission, what do i need to do to prove the validity of it. I have all the contact information from the State Library of South Australia.

 * Go to the main upload page and click the second bullet link: "The work of someone else, who has given permission to use it on Wikipedia or it is a work released under a free license" Andrewlp1991 (talk) 05:30, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Well they have given written permission to use the images on Wikipedia however, they have stated that they arn't "giving Wikipedia readers carte blanche to use, copy, redistribute the images as they see fit. What do I do? Does this mean I can not upload the files or is their a back-door solution where we can honor the State Library of South Australia request and still use the images for the Wikipedia article I have created. Any advice would be desired. Lukeduk1980 (talk) 20:55, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

I still need some advice on this subject. Can anyone answer the above question concerning this issue? Lukeduk1980 (talk) 21:45, 9 December 2009 (UTC)


 * If the images can't be copied, modified, and redistributed, then they probably can't be uploaded here. The only possible exception is if the images meet the requirements for non-free content, in which case they can be copied and redistributed even if the library doesn't approve. --Carnildo (talk) 23:29, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Change in default parameters
We are planning to change what is shown as the default parameters for the " " template in the file upload summary. This means we are going to edit Upload. See discussion at Template talk:Information.

Deprecate upload of free images to Wikipedia
Unless someone heavily objects here, I am going to redesign the template to deprecate local uploads. There is really no reason for folks uploading free images here...--Kozuch (talk) 16:37, 20 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Wouldn't it be better to suggest that at VP/proposals ? —Th e DJ (talk • contribs) 17:13, 20 January 2010 (UTC)


 * There are reasons for free images to be uploaded here rather than Commons, the big one being images that are public-domain in the US, but not in the country of origin. --Carnildo (talk) 00:11, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure there are cases that cant go to Commons. I mean to depracate all we can, own works etc.--Kozuch (talk) 00:17, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
