Movie player

Please remind me where to find the tool that acts as a steaming-service like interface for the movies we have on Commons? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:03, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

Wikiflix: https://wikiflix.toolforge.org/#/

I requested it to be synced with Category:Videos of films by year and since that cat now contains most films in Commons and is largely included (last time I checked at least) in wikiflix, it should also show most films on Commons. An alternative is WikidataGalleries/WikiFlix/Documentary films. Prototyperspective (talk) 11:45, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

Thank you. I made {{WikiFlix}} to link to it translations welcome. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:48, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

My image

My image File:DoveKHepburn.jpg of me I uploaded for my own Wikipedia sandbox. I do not give consent for its deletion on Wikimedia Commons as it's my own work. --DoveTheEditor (talk) 13:42, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

@DoveTheEditor: Hi, and welcome. You want to keep it, then? Your language is confusing. Who snapped the photo? How did you acquire the copyright, since you wrote that it is your own work? You may need to use the Monty Python quote "I'm not dead yet". See also COM:HR.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 14:15, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

I've tagged the enwiki sandbox for speedy deletion there as a blatant hoax. (It claimed, among other things, that she died last year and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.) Omphalographer (talk) 15:50, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

Looks like a hoax all around, and a pretty transparent one at that. This may be a reason to block the account. - Jmabel ! talk 17:03, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

 Comment I deleted all files as abuse of COM:WEBHOST, and sent 2 warnings. Yann (talk) 17:23, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

It's just making this place toxic. Aren't editors meant to be polite and not arrogant? --DoveTheEditor (talk) 17:42, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

@DoveTheEditor: Please read Commons policies, starting with COM:SCOPE and COM:L, and stop talking nonsense. Thanks, Yann (talk) 18:25, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

Unmerge files / Undo overwrite

Could someone please unmerge the two photos in the history of File:Мост через Элистинку.jpg (translation of file name: "Bridge across the Elistinka [River]")? Not sure why one photo was overwritten with a different one.
The resulting two files can be named File:Мост через Элистинку 2013.jpg (if that's the year in which the original was taken) and File:Мост через Элистинку 2015.jpg. Nakonana (talk) 19:13, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

@Nakonana: The first thing to do is a revert (done), then downloading the second version and re-uploading with a new file name, using the diff as licensing evidence. As I'm currently using my tablet, I can't do that. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 19:42, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the instructions. I've uploaded the other file under a different name (got the year wrong, it's 2016, not 2015). Nakonana (talk) 22:03, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
