Discussion
So basically you are 'fixing' links to redirects? Can't the machine just be made smarter? -- maelgwn - talk 05:53, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Not really, the issue is machine readability, and we can't assume every machine scraping our pages will know to follow the templates and categories. Plus this was done before on 70,000+ images, so this is just getting the remainder it missed.  MBisanz  talk 05:55, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * What sort of 'machines' are we talking about? :-S -- maelgwn - talk 06:39, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Automated tools owned by people who reuse our content, such as say a user on commons who wanted to scrape us for free-images or another user looking to republish WP sans the non-free content. This has been done to tens of thousands of images, this is just to bring the last set into compliance.  MBisanz  talk 06:50, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, per consensus at Non-free content/templates, all nonfree templates should be in this form.  MBisanz  talk 09:05, 4 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Is there any harm, in doing this task? I see a benefit, but, I do not see any harm. SQL Query me!  06:54, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I would like to see a more detailed task description, however, for this. SQL Query me!  06:58, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

 * It seems to me that a number of these templates should be deleted rather than renamed (Permission-Microsoft being the most blatent). Also, Old-50 and Old-70 aren't really copyright tags. --Carnildo (talk) 07:41, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * If any need to be TFD' thats fine with me, I just did one of the Train one's yesterday and others a couple weeks ago. Of course any that redlink won't be renamed or will carry over the TFD.  Also, what should Old-50 and Old-70 be called then, since they are in the category with all the other licensing tags?  MBisanz  talk 07:43, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Interestingly enough, Permission-Microsoft survived a TfD this January. Also, we should look at cleaning up the names and capitalization of some of these before they are moved. For example, Cereal box cover->Non-free Cereal box cover should be Cereal box cover->Non-free cereal box cover. I would also rename the "StateGov" ones to "USStateGov." - AWeenieMan (talk) 16:07, 4 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Disregarding problems with some of the templates, this is a good idea and should be approved. If we want Wikipedia content to be reusable, we need to clearly distinguish between free and non-free content, and the established way to do that is to have non-free copyright tags start with "Non-free".  r speer  / ɹəəds ɹ  04:42, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, all the renaming has been done. Now to wait a couple days for it all to populate through and for me to code the bot replacement schema.  MBisanz  talk 06:21, 5 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I've updated the replacement list, which can be seen at User:MBisanz/BotR.  MBisanz  talk 04:48, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

 * BAGAssistanceNeeded Trial completed at ran as expected.  AWB tells me there will be 5688 remaining images to correct if/when the bot is approved.  MBisanz  talk 06:29, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * As noted on IRC, please link to a page with a full list of template changes in the edit summary, and remove the "using AWB" so it's a bit easier on the eyes. giggy (O) 06:33, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
