Suggestion: Add a button for self made but using a different license not listed
For example, if you want to upload a file in public domain because it is considered ineligible for copyright, there's no way to select that license tag without having to edit it after uploading. There should be a way to use a different license template. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Atomicdragon136 (talk • contribs) 01:04, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
- Given the number of undeletion requests we see where the requester believes that the photograph they uploaded "isn't copyrighted", we really don't want it to be too easy to declare works ineligible. If someone issues a copyright license for an ineligible file, it is easy to correct by editing the file description. It is much harder to obtain a valid license for works which are mistakenly marked as public domain. We see this all the time with Flickr files uploaded with Public Domain Mark. Users who know what they're doing can choose the wikitext option to enter a PD ineligible tag or use Commons:Upload. —LX (talk, contribs) 12:20, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
