Commons:Cross-wiki upload/id
Pengunggahan lintas wiki atau mw:Upload dialog adalah sebuah perkakas dengan antarmuka sederhana untuk mengunggah berkas ke Wikimedia Commons selagi menyunting artikel di Wikipedia. Perkakas ini hanya mengizinkan pengguna mengunggah karya mereka sendiri di bawah lisensi CC-BY-SA 4.0.
Banyak pengguna yang mengunggah karya yang bukan miliknya melalui perkakas tersebut sehingga melanggar hak cipta orang lain. Pada bulan Juli 2024, komunitas Wikimedia Commons mendukung gagasan untuk menutup perkakas tersebut untuk semua pengguna yang tidak terkonfirmasi otomatis.
The problem
[edit]Admins on Commons are deleting many files uploaded through the tool as copyright violations. As the tool only allows the upload of own works many users claim the work of others as their own works.
An user experience and design research report by the WMF published in June 2024 proved these observations made by the community for years. The report also showed that people think they are uploading files to the local Wikipedia and not to Wikimedia Commons what they might not even know about.
The GUI of the upload dialog prefills most declaration statements and only mentions "consider using" the Upload Wizard for cases "If you do not own the copyright on this file, or you wish to release it under a different license" (July 2024).
Cross-wiki uploads had been restricted by Abuse filter since 2016.
Needed Changes
[edit]The MediaWiki default text (mw:Manual:$wgUploadDialog) on the upload page should be changed to inform users that they are only able to use the tool if they edited directly on Wikimedia Commons before. Local Wikis might need to change their how to and guideline pages. If Wikis want to remove the feature entirely they have to request a configuration change.
Other known issues with cross-wiki upload
[edit]- Location coordinates are not recognized (WP/T)
Other tools and future development
[edit]Other tools allowing direct upload from other Wikis are not affected by this.
The restrictions might be lifted after implementation of a new design for the cross-wiki upload process.
