Remove GFDL opinions or not?
[edit source]Like what @MGA73: did elsewhere (cf. m:User:MGA73/Media per wiki), I guess these opinion entries:
- self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-4.0,3.0,2.5,2.0,1.0|GFDL and CC Attribution ShareAlike 4.0 and earlier
- self|GFDL|cc-by-4.0|GFDL and Creative Commons Attribution 4.0
can go out from this page. GFDL is an old-sunshine license that are more and more problematic for re-users, it requires a full copy of license text body for each re-using. Since Commons, English and Japanese Wikipedias are decided to highly restricted their use of GFDL(-only) tags (generally, unless a new file is related to GFDL-licensed documentation(s) of software and/or its screenshots/logos, GFDL is no longer an opinion for new files), and many other Wikipedias and Wikiversities are even fully stopped further use of GFDL tags, I wonder why can't en.wikiversity be one too?!
Pinging past editors of this: @MediaWiki default, Sebmol, Darklama, Dave Braunschweig, and Mu301: (but eh, we don't have Interface Administrators?! MediaWiki namespace pages are nowadays only edit-able by them) Liuxinyu970226 (discuss • contribs) 10:25, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Liuxinyu970226 From a security perspective, this community has agreed to add interface administrators on demand, and only for a short period of time to address the specific issue. It doesn't come up often enough to keep the permission on for an extended period of time.
- Can you help me follow what you want to do here? Can you link to an edit where either en.wikipedia or commons discussed and/or removed GFDL licensing options? I'd prefer not to have to research it myself if you already have the documentation. Thanks! -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 00:27, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
