If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by consensus, editors may use {{edit template-protected}} to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's documentation to add usage notes or categories.

Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. Functionality of the template can be checked using test cases.

Link to Public domain image resources should be changed

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

This template currently links to Public domain image resources, a cross-namespace redirect to Wikipedia:Public domain image resources. That page claims to be out-of-date, and it says it's a copy of meta:Help:Public domain image resources, which is marked historical. The WP page links to c:Commons:Free media resources/Photography as a better listing of sources. Therefore, the line Many copyright-free image sources are listed at our [[public domain image resources]], or you could create your own. should be changed to Many copyright-free image sources are listed at [[c:Commons:Free media resources/Photography|Wikimedia Commons]], or you could create your own.. --rchard2scout (talk) 15:15, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Creative commons search link not found

Not really an X to Y, but still needs attention. The current link to Creative Commons search is still broken. Perhaps it should be changed to https://search.creativecommons.org/ (or something else)? Thanks, -- NotAGenious (talk) 17:20, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Completed – the 404 page that arises with the old CC.org link reads, "The /search path is currently broken. This will addressed soon. This domain previously hosted CC Search, which became Openverse." So the link in this template has been changed to Openverse, which appears to work the same as the old CC.org link did. This might be a temporary situation and should continue to be monitored. Thank you, editor NotAGenious, for your diligence! P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 19:59, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template-protected edit request on 27 September 2023: Directly link to Toolforge tool

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please apply this sandbox diff to the template (the sandbox was previously identical to the template, so copying its full contents should suffice). This will change the FIST link to link directly to the tool’s URL without going through the iw.toolforge.org redirect, which should be slightly faster for users and also plays nicer with Special:WhatLinksHere. (See also the equivalent edit request on the Photo requested template.) I tested the new version on Talk:Mojo (African-American culture) (without saving it, just via the preview), an arbitrary page using this template with some special characters (()) in the title, in order to check that the escaping isn’t broken.

@Elli @Lucas Werkmeister The link seems dead? Free Image Search Tool _{Piotrus at Hanyang| reply here} 03:36, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like this part of the tool is broken under a new PHP version, I’ve sent a pull request to fix it. Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 18:38, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hanyangprofessor2: Looks like it’s working again now. Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 17:38, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Lucas Werkmeister Thanks! _{Piotrus at Hanyang| reply here} 12:16, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Paine Ellsworth @NotAGenious since this is similar to your issue _{Piotrus at Hanyang| reply here} 03:37, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bot to automatically remove outdated instances

Just wanted to flag that I opened in Wikipedia:Bot requests a discussion about creating a bot to remove the outdated instances of this template.

Spacing

There is quite a lot of vertical blank space when the |in= parameter is used. ~~Example below:~~ — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 22:27, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
