Note. This is the talk page for the transcluded introductory instruction text for 4 upload forms. The 4 upload forms are linked from Wikipedia:Upload, and here are the link labels:
Please change the text "do not upload images that violate others copyrights" to "do not upload images that violate others' copyrights" and do the same for MediaWiki:Uploadtext/en-internet. --WikiSlasher 06:47, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Please change the template that comes up when users select post-1978 US stamp from Template:USPSstamp, which no longer exists, to Template:Non-free USGov-USPS stamp, which to where to previous template was moved.--2008Olympianchitchat 21:23, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
I just added the image of a software CD-ROM cover, which isn't explicitly covered by this page.
The most important missing bit is on the licensing dropdown, which currently has for covers:
<option value="Non-free album cover" title="((Non-free album cover))"> Album or single cover</option> <option value="boardgamecover" title="((boardgamecover))"> Board game cover</option> <option value="Non-free book cover" title="((Non-free book cover))"> Book cover</option> <option value="Non-free comic" title="((Non-free comic))"> Comic book stuff</option> <option value="Non-free video cover" title="((Non-free video cover))"> DVD, Blu-Ray Disc, videotape, etc. cover</option> <option value="Non-free game cover" title="((Non-free game cover))"> Video game cover</option> <option value="Non-free magazine cover" title="((Non-free magazine cover))"> Magazine cover (can only be used in the article about the magazine)</option> <option value="Non-free newspaper image" title="((Non-free newspaper image))"> Newspaper cover</option>
There's already an existing ((Non-free software cover)) license template, so I think it would be useful to add:
<option value="Non-free software cover" title="((Non-free software cover))"> Software cover</option>
Less important would be changing places like the Wikipedia:Upload to mention "software release" as part of what's meant by "cover or other page", but adding the option to the licensing dropdown would be quite useful.

((editprotected)) I'm not sure if the page's drop down menu falls under it's talk page or the general page as it's not part of the transclusion, so I'm asking here. The fifth item on the upload form, "A promotional photo from..." links to this page even though it doesn't actually include the promotional copyright template (((Non-free promotional))) in the licensing drop-down menu. This talk page says that it is about promos as the first bullet point so I believe that template should be added. If I'm reading the source code correctly, the change should be from:
<option value="" disabled="disabled" style="color: graytext;">Copyrighted - read WP:NONFREE before using any of the following tags:</option>
<option value="Non-free logo" title="((Non-free logo))"> Logo</option>
<option value="Music sample" title="((Music sample))"> Music sample</option>
to
<option value="" disabled="disabled" style="color: graytext;">Copyrighted - read WP:NONFREE before using any of the following tags:</option>
<option value="Non-free promo" title="((Non-free_promotional))"> Promotional material</option>
<option value="Non-free logo" title="((Non-free logo))"> Logo</option>
<option value="Music sample" title="((Music sample))"> Music sample</option>

I am attempting to upload the image of a painting (under Non-free 2D art) but I cannot figure out how to do it. I am searching for SIMPLE 1, 2, 3 step instructions on how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated! --Jhf44 (talk) 23:50, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi. I am attempting to upload an illustration from a book for a particular article on the illustrator in question and am stuck on the licensing templates, which don't appear to cover interior illustrations and artworks, only covers. What should I do? Have I selected the wrong upload category or what? LSmok3 (talk) 12:01, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
((editprotected))
After some discussion on other pages I was directed to the appropriate template ((Non-free 2D art)). . . However, I am a bit puzzled as to why this option is excluded from the licensing drop down list, with the result that it has now taken me two days to get to this point and I still haven't dealt with the image I was trying to upload. Perhaps someone could see to it being included in the form, as it should surely be there, and saving the average user considerable time and confusion. LSmok3 Talk 17:21, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
@Admin answering request - LSmok3 requests that ((Non-free 2D art)) be added to this list of non-free license templates. I believe the change is from this:
<option value="Non-free logo" title="((Non-free logo))"> Logo</option>
<option value="Non-free audio sample" title="((Music sample))"> Music sample</option>
<option value="Non-free promo" title="((Non-free_promotional))"> Promotional material</option>
to this:
<option value="Non-free logo" title="((Non-free logo))"> Logo</option>
<option value="Non-free 2D art" title="((Non-free 2D art))"> 2D art</option>
<option value="Non-free audio sample" title="((Music sample))"> Music sample</option>
<option value="Non-free promo" title="((Non-free_promotional))"> Promotional material</option>

These came from a discussion about File:James White 01.png, which Explicit deleted and then restored when I asked for help. While I appreciated Explicit's help, I thought the process for dealing with image issues is creaky. Explicit suggested I post my concerns here.
(This is concerning Special:Upload . Is there a better place to discuss this? )
OK, so I admit it's maybe a lysdexic way of me to deal with this form, but twice now I've filled in the "Destination filename" first, then went up and browsed for the name of the file to download.
It turns out that when you do this, any content in the "Destination filename" field is replaced with the basename of the file you pick to upload--which, of course, you've been reminded several times previously is almost certainly the wrong name to use. The first time, I didn't happen to notice that this substitution happened, so I wound up having to request the file be deleted. (If there's a way to rename images, I didn't see it.)
So, can the form be changed so that, before sticking the basename in the "Destination filename" field, it checks to see if there's something entered there already, and if so, doesn't wipe it out? Thanks,--NapoliRoma (talk) 18:59, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

. On the "Upload file" dialogue, I entered the "Non-free use rationale" with all the fields as required. But, the licensing drop-down menu doesn't have the tag I need. How and where do I add this specific tag in the upload screen? Kiki (talk) 13:27, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello. I need these two images, which are not available in the UK commons. May I have permission to use them?
de:User:Stephen2nd (on my German Talk page)
Thank you. Both images appear here, but will not upload into the UK article ? How do I upload them without exporting them to UK Commons?? Thanks again, Steve. Stephen2nd (Diskussion) 21:47, 25. Sep. 2020 (CEST)
