Please help renaming categories

I am standardizing category names for the painter Jan Fyt. There are two categories I can't move because redirect categories already exist at the desired names. Could an admin please help with the following?

Thanks very much. -- Auntof6 (talk) 06:30, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion template icon

Before I went inactive and lost my administrative rights, I remember seeing a little rubbish bin icon in connection with speedy deletion templates, which when clicked would take me to the page's &delete tab with a prefilled deletion rationale. Now I can't see the icon, which I assume is the result of not being an administrator anymore. What file is used for this purpose? See this oldid for a page with a speedy deletion template. Nyttend (talk) 20:35, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Nyttend: Looks like it's File:Gnome-edit-delete.svg Pi.1415926535 (talk) 20:55, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How is the attribution requirement fulfilled? Context — I've proposed that this icon be added to the en:wp speedy deletion templates (Template talk:Db-meta), and someone says that we have to have a PD image or one with a no-attribution-required licence. Nyttend (talk) 21:07, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Nyttend: Attribution is to GNOME Project, and {{LGPLv3}} doesn't require attribution. Who says "we have to have a PD image or one with a no-attribution-required licence" where?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 04:24, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
LGPLv3 does require attribution: see section 4 of the GPLv3, which is incorporated by the bit before section 0 of the LGPLv3. CC BY-SA, of course, also requires attribution. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 23:18, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Mdaniels5757: So why does our template not take any parameters?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 00:09, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jeff G. Because attribution doesn't need to be in the template; it just needs to be "conspicuously and appropriately" on "each copy". This would include attribution elsewhere on the file description page, at least where the description page is linked by the image. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 00:41, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I can see this icon. On [1], I get File not found: /v1/AUTH_mw/wikipedia-commons-local-public.96/9/96/Gnome-edit-delete.svg. Any idea? Yann (talk) 11:42, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I filled up a bug report: phab:T363995. Yann (talk) 11:48, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why am I banned from using the Crop Tool?

For reasons that I do not understand, it has been impossible for me to use the Crop Tool since the end of last year (2023). Whenever I want to use it, I am asked to authorize it first, and when I do so, I am asked again to authorize it first, etc. I am stuck in authorization hell and cannot have access to the tool. Now, why is that? Who banned me, and for what reason? Edelseider (talk) 10:51, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Edelseider: You are not banned, blocked, or anything. Sometimes there are glitches with the tools and OAuth. Right now, others are also having issues with CropTool, there are multiple discussions at Commons talk:CropTool. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 11:24, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, @AFBorchert: . I see other users uploading cropped pictures, so I assumed that there was a ban. It's very unfortunate that the tool is not available to everybody, I hope that it will be fixed soon! All the best, Edelseider (talk) 12:32, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Edelseider: Some of these issues do not effect all and are dependent on the cookies and your browser. I am not too familiar with this but it might help to try this with another browser and cookies removed. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 12:55, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Edelseider: Logging out completely and then logging in may also help.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 13:28, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jeff G.: I have done everything. Logged out, purged my browser, used another computer, another browser... It's me, Edelseider, who is not allowed to authorize the tool. Neither the software nor the hardware that I use is at fault. Edelseider (talk) 13:36, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Edelseider: Authorizing works for me. That looks like a bug, please see mw:How to report a bug.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 13:42, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone help me out here.

I tried with nominating File:Atal Bihari Vajpayee (crop 2).jpg for valued image at Commons:Valued image candidates/Atal Bihari Vajpayee (crop 2).jpg. I did. But after this long, I see no progress. Is there any issue with my nomination. Have I done something wrong. If yes then can someone please fix it. If no can we take the nomination forward and vote. ShaanSenguptaTalk 07:54, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Shaan Sengupta It looks like you may have forgot step 2 from Commons:Valued image candidates#Adding a new nomination (image); it should be working now. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 13:56, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Mdaniels5757 Maybe. Thank you so much for the help. ShaanSenguptaTalk 02:56, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some GODL-India to review

I am here with a request to the reviewers/admins to kindly review some GODL-India files. Some of these are used on multiple wiki projects. Everyone knows the backlog of GODL-India. So this is the only way. The list obviously looks long, mainly bcoz of multiple crops.

Please Review all these so that my unreviewed upload backlog and some uploads from others that I have fixed is cleared. Thank You Again In Advance. ShaanSenguptaTalk 16:10, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
