Thanks for translating the iD page

... Zh-hant:iD! :-) I tried to fix DISPLAYTITLE but it does not display. I guess there is some problem with the zh-hant prefix because it works on the German version. --Aseerel4c26 (talk) 20:12, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes, indeed. I don't know how to fix it, so I used #REDIRECT to brutally maintain it. >_< Shangkuanlc (talk) 00:41, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
I found a hint on why the displaytitle does not work: German has a namespace prefix and zh-hant has not - see Wiki_Translation#Language_prefixes_and_namespaces. Still no reason.. but.. at least a explanation for the difference between languages. If you want you could ask for help on the Translation page - I think that is the right spot. --Aseerel4c26 (talk) 23:20, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for the tip!! May try this some ofher time. Shangkuanlc (talk)06:13, 28 May 2013 (UTC)~

Note: you can translate the shortcut page now. :-) Or link to the English page. --Aseerel4c26 (talk) 22:02, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Oh! Lovely, thank you for the notice! Will translate it. --Shangkuanlc (talk) 09:49, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi, if your time permits, could you please update the page? Or insert your translations into the English page and change the Zh-hant page into automatic partial translation (like e.g. at the German page). --Aseerel4c26 (talk) 19:24, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

‎Verdy p apparently saw my request and already merged. Please help to improve the Zh-hant translations! :-) --Aseerel4c26 (talk) 21:31, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

Missing file information

Hello! And thanks for your upload - but some extra info is necessary.

Sorry for bothering you about this, but it is important to know source of the uploaded files.

Are you the author of image File:20130126 Taipei Nankang Mapping Party (End).jpeg ?

Or is it copied from some other place (which one?)?

Please, add this info to the file page - something like "I took this photo" or "downloaded from -website link-" or "I took this screeshot of program XYZ".

Doing this would be already very useful.

Licensing - photos

In case that you are the author of the image: Would you agree to open licensing of this image, allowing its use by anyone (similarly to your OSM edits)?

In case where it is a photo you (except relatively rare cases) author can make it available under a specific free license.

Would you be OK with CC0 (it allows use without attribution or any other requirement)?

Or do you prefer to require attribution and some other things using CC-BY-SA-4.0?

If you are the author: Please add {{CC0-self}} to the file page to publish the image under CC0 license.

You can also use {{CC-BY-SA-4.0-self}} to publish under CC-BY-SA-4.0 license.

Once you add missing data - please remove {{Unknown|subcategory=uploader notified March 2022}} from the file page.

Licensing - other images

If it is not a photo situation gets a bit more complicated.

See Drafts/Media file license chart that may help.

note: if you took screenshot of program made by someone else, screenshot of OSM editor with aerial imagery: then licensing of that elements also matter and you are not a sole author.

note: If you downloaded image made by someone else then you are NOT the author.

Note that in cases where photo is a screenshot of some software interface: usually it is needed to handle also copyright of software itself.

Note that in cases where aerial imagery is present: also licensing of an aerial imagery matter.

Help

Feel free to ask for help if you need it - you can do it for example by asking on Talk:Wiki: new topic.

Please ask there if you are not sure what is the proper next step. Especially when you are uploading files that are not your own work or are derivative work (screenshots, composition of images, using aerial imagery etc).

If you are interested in wider discussion about handling licencing at OSM Wiki, see this thread.

Attribution

Hello! And sorry for bothering you, but descriptions of files you uploaded need to be improved.

You have uploaded files which are licensed as requiring attribution. But right now attribution is not specified properly.

Please, ask for help if something is confusing or unclear in this message.

Please, fix that problem with this uploads - note that images with unclear licensing situation may be deleted.

Attribution may be missing completely or just be specified in nonstandard way, in either case it needs to be improved. Note that using CC-BY files without specifying attribution is a copyright violation, which is often unethical and unwanted. So clearly specifying required attribution is needed if license which makes attribution mandatory was used.

If it is applying to your own work which not based on work by others - then you can select own user name or some other preferred attribution or even change license to for example {{CC0-self}}

For your own work: ensure that it is clearly stated at file page that you created image/took the photo/etc

For works by others - please ensure that there is link to the original source which confirms license and that you used proper attribution, or that source is clearly stated in some other way.

Especially for old OSM-baded maps, made from data before license change on 12 September 2012 you should use "map data © OpenStreetMap contributors" as at least part of attribution

For old OSM Carto maps, which predate license change on 12 September 2012 you can use a special template {{OSM Carto screenshot||old_license}}
