This article tells us what commons is doesn't mention *why* one would upload to commons - what are the arguments against uploading directly to WP, other than the "available to other languages"? Does there exist other reasons? Should diagrams that are only in english be uploaded? I'm sure I have more questions, but I can't think of them at the moment User A1 ( talk) 22:05, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I'd like to use an image from Italian Wikipedia here [ [1]] on English wikipedia. How do I do this? E2a2j ( talk) 15:45, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
Where can I get a technical explanation for how [[Image:foo]] can insert an image that may be local to WP or may be shared in Commons? How does it know where to pull it from? What's the mechanism there? ⇔ ChristTrekker 05:14, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Is anyone going to get around to this? I am looking almost two months later, and it is still not up. Alharaka ( talk) 19:30, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
File:Nat-gall-lond-tr-sq2.jpg was transferred from enwiki to Commons in 2013, but it's still in enwiki's Category:National Gallery, London, even though there's no way to edit the file on enwiki that I can see. Could somebody please remove it from the category? Ham II ( talk) 11:04, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
Mike Peel ( talk · contribs) does a massive deletion od commonscat templates with edit summaries like this: (for page History of Poland (1945–1989)): Removing Commons category link that does not match this article ( commons:Category:Polish People's Republic) (Commons category belongs at Polish_People's_Republic)
But this makes no sense. I need illustrations for History of Poland (1945–1989) and since there is no such cat in commons, the only way is to link it to Polish_People's_Republic.
I explained this ro Mike Peek in my edit summary, but they insist "this has already been discussed before" If this was siacussed before, it must be included in edit summary, so I can see this discussion. May be it was reasonabe, but maybe "cosensus can change".
So, what and where are the rules for the use of template:commonscat? his in not discussed in the template talk page. Lembit Staan ( talk) 21:34, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
