Lucky, I'm trying to add at least the DE Town Infobox to the stubs I created so they won't be in danger of being deleted by some well-meaning administrator. I've done a few already but so far have downloaded the maps and coat of arms (and other images) from the German site and then uploaded them to the English site. Can I assume that if they are on the German pages they all qualify for uploading to the Commons? (the warning there had me worried) If that were a valid assumption, I'd appreciate if you have some quick instructions on how to do it and what to watch out for. Thanks already. --Mmounties 00:14, 30 January 2006 (UTC)


 * You know, that's a good question. I'm going on the assumption that because all of these sites share the same licenses, adding info from here to the Commons should be OK.  Drop Raul654 a line; he's a bureaucrat and a damned good user.  Nice guy, too.  He's helped me out of several administrative pickles.  :) - Lucky 6.9 02:17, 30 January 2006 (UTC)


 * It seems that when we click on the picture on the German site, the license info comes up and most of them seem to qualify. --Mmounties 13:58, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Template:Track events
Hi David. I saw that you modified my changes to the template. Thanks. It looks much better your way. But since you seem to know your way around there, I just added the article on the 400m Hurdles, but when I try the link from the template it takes me to the "edit this page" rather than the article itself. If I enter the 400m into the search field it takes me to the page correctly. Do you what I'm doing wrong? --Mmounties 23:33, 4 February 2006 (UTC)


 * More specifically, it only seems to do this weird act if I click on the link from the 100m page. It seems to work fine elsewhere. --Mmounties 23:35, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry i can't help you here. Everything looks fine but the links from the template do not seem to recognise the 400m Hurdles pages as they are still red links. This could be a delay in the wikipedia database being updated. i refreshed my local cache and that made no difference. i'd say give it a day and see if it is still a proble. i bet it will fix itself.
 * I'm glad you like the template changes. Some pages have quite a few templates so I was thinking the smaller the better. Good job on improving it. David D. (Talk) 23:57, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I seem to have solved the problem by piping the link 400m Hurdles but i have no idea why it did not work before. David D. (Talk) 05:09, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

I've experimented with Bruchsal, but the original only appeared without a width. The image was extremely big (5000x5000), so that could have caused it. I've replaced the image with a smaller jpg and the problem seems to be solved now Dr Debug 02:37, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
