Category:Wikipedia files with a different name on Wikimedia Commons
To put images and media files now available on Commons in this category:
- Use
{{Now Commons}}
if the filename on the Commons is the same one as the filename here, which will put the image in Category:Wikipedia files with the same name on Wikimedia Commons. - Use
{{Now Commons|File:Filename.png}}
if the file on the Commons uses a different filename, which will put the image in Category:Wikipedia files with a different name on Wikimedia Commons. - Always include the original source. For license tags like {{PD-USGov}}, Wikipedia cannot be the source. While it may be helpful to note that it was transferred from the English Wikipedia, the true source is the important part. For files originally appearing on Wikipedia (i.e. created by the uploader) please always include the original upload date, username, filename, and any non-trivial edit history. Keep in mind a link by itself is useless for most people since the local copy most likely will be deleted. Sometimes this is legally required (like by the GFDL) but it should be done regardless of its copyright status so others can verify the info. Commons policy requires *all* files to have sources (excluding work too trivial for copyright, but not work that's PD for any other reason).
