New Page Patrol

I'd like to discourage you from continuing to add {{Speedy}} to new gallery pages. There are three reasons for this.

First, there are half a dozen Admins who regularly patrol new pages and delete on sight anything that fits within the {{Speedy}} rules. The numbers and time zones work out so that for much of the time, a new gallery that does not meet the rules will be deleted within minutes of its creation. Given that, your adding a {t|speedy}} tag to new gallery pages is not a good use of your Commons time.

Second, it increases the number of items in Category:Other speedy deletions and Admins who work that list have their effort diluted by looking at pages that would be rapidly deleted by others anyway.

Finally, it actually slows us down, albeit not by much. Without the {{Speedy}} at the top, we can usually see the whole page on one screen. The template forces us to page down to see it all.

There's plenty of opportunity for contributing at Commons. You might want to try looking at new images rather than new gallery pages. At around 8,000 a day, of which around 2,000 are problematic, that's an area that can always use more eyes.

Thank you for notifying me; I'll keep that in mind and avoid tagging newly created gallery pages for deletion. Not that it matters much, but I think I mostly put the {{Speedy}} templates at the bottom of the page to allow the admins to read through the page first. I'll try to focus on other areas of Commons which interest me. Regards, Pmlineditor (t · c · l) 12:05, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. As you surely know from all your work here and elsewhere on WMF, there is plenty of work for all of us. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:07, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Notification about possible deletion

Some contents have been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether they should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at their entry. If you created these pages, please note that the fact that they have been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with them, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Important message for file movers

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

• To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
• To perform file name swaps.
• When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:36, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
