[18:56:00] Hello. Ignoring that I'd need to get consensus and stuff, is it possible to break reupload-shared away from sysop and hand it out as a stand alone userright? [18:56:02] Also, is that what's needed to upload local files when there's an identically named one at Commons? [18:59:22] Sven_Manguard, #mediawiki was fine [18:59:31] yes, it's that right [18:59:50] and yes, every right can be moved to a different usergroup with a configuration change [19:04:10] Sven_Manguard, you would like to move the reupload-shared right from sysop and into a new user group on commons? [19:04:31] no, I don't think it has use on Commons [19:04:39] what wiki? [19:05:10] The issue is that there's a Commons file that's in use on about a dozen Wikis, and the image is about to get axed. I want to upload locally on Wikis that support fair use before I delete it on Commons [19:05:22] English Wikipedia is my main concern [19:05:27] Ah... [19:05:55] Yeah you might be waiting a while for consensus to do that [19:06:05] A steward might be able to help? [19:08:14] Or maybe global sysop [19:19:57] damn [20:33:13] help with what? [20:36:05] matanya: you talking to me? [20:36:15] I guess so [20:36:21] sweet [20:36:26] didn't you look for a steward? [20:36:29] Nope. [20:36:52] oh, now I see the thread [20:36:56] never mind [20:38:42] I have... an idea! [20:40:20] matanya: am I correct that reupload-shared is what I need to upload a file on en.Wiki where there is a file of the same name on Commons? [20:40:46] no, you can do it locally [20:40:54] wait what? [20:41:04] Okay, let's start from scratch. [20:41:07] upload it to en.wiki itself [20:41:26] I can't. It won't let me. [20:41:42] it is blocked on enwiki? [20:42:15] File:Escut Girona.png is on Commons, but I have to delete it because the OTRS ticket is "some bullshit". What I want to do is upload the identical image under the identical name over at English Wikipedia, but it won't let me do that because of the Commons file. [20:42:40] got you [20:42:48] I can help you with that [20:43:04] By doing it yourself, or is there a workaround? [20:43:13] Because that file is used on a dozen projects [20:43:18] I'll use my bot account [20:43:24] and some others might also allow fair use [20:43:40] wait? Bots can upload around that? [20:43:44] yes [20:43:45] because I have a bot account [20:43:48] afaik [20:44:00] what in the bot's right package allows that? [20:44:13] skip some thing [20:44:20] don't remember what [20:44:48] let me try that... [20:44:59] time to get.... ethically questionable! [20:45:01] k, I need to go now. If you need any help, leave me a message or ping when I'm back [20:45:04] wooo! [20:45:21] worked... [20:46:01] awesome! [20:49:42] err... it dosen't look like it worked
