First steps tutorial

Our first steps tour and our FAQ will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy. You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold contributing here and assume good faith for the intentions of others. This is a wiki—it is really easy.

Getting help

More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (direct access). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at Commons talk:Licensing.

Goodies, tips and tricks
  • Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities.
  • All your uploads are stored in your personal gallery
  • Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~
  • Use the CommonSense tool to find good categories for your files (then other people can find them too!)
  • To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:Image:Foo.jpg]], which produces: Image:Foo.jpg
  • If you're copying files from another project, be sure to use the CommonsHelper
Made a mistake?
  • Did you want to rename or move a file? Simply upload the file again and mark the old one like this: {{bad name|correct name}}
  • For more information read the full deletion guidelines
(P.S. Would you like to provide feedback on this message?)

Image:Charlie copeland.jpg edit

You wrote on the image page "I have permission from the owner to use this photo." Please see COM:OTRS for the method to confirm the permission. --dave pape (talk) 15:41, 22 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

The next step after forwarding your permission to OTRS is to add a {{Otrs pending}} template to the image. I've gone ahead and done that for you. An OTRS volunteer will eventually check the e-mail you sent; if it's okay, they should add a ticket number to the image. If there's a problem, they'll follow up in e-mail. --dave pape (talk) 00:51, 1 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Pending permission for image(s) edit

Hello. On following images, you have added the {{Otrs pending}} template:


Unfortunately, after conducting a search, I could not locate the ticket containing the permission to use the image. Please respond on my talk page if you have the ticket number, or if you would like to send me the permission. Please note that if you do not respond, the image may be deleted. Thanks!

Since you added the {{Otrs pending}} tag to the image, that implies that you do not own the copyright, and have permission from the copyright holder to use the image. You would need to forward us the permission, following the instructions and to the address listed at Commons:Email templates. If you do own the copyright and the otrs pending tag was a mistake, just let me know. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. - Rjd0060 (talk) 16:08, 2 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
If you forward it again, just let me know as soon as you do and I will then take care of it right away. - Rjd0060 (talk) 17:44, 2 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
