For the Common Good is a standalone software application that aids in transferring free media to Wiki Commons.
You take full responsibility for any action you perform using For the Common Good. You must understand both local policies and Wiki Commons policies and use this tool within those policies, or risk being blocked here and/or on Commons. If using FtCG on another wiki, you must additionally be aware of policies on that wiki. |
FtCG includes several features:
{{Information}}
template if not already present, or amelioration of the existing one if present{{now Commons}}
(or deletion, for admins) of the local image after transferBe aware that FtCG doesn't do all your work for you. Normally, you will still need to clean up the file page wikitext a little bit before clicking the "Transfer" button.
You can download the latest version of FtCG at https://atlight.github.io. The most recent version is listed on that site. (You can check the version of your copy by clicking the "Settings..." button.)
A note on operating system compatibility: FtCG works on Windows and Linux, and most likely on Mac OS too.
For those who are interested, source code (in C#) is available on GitHub.
I would appreciate any feedback, bugs, or suggested improvements, especially regarding the deletion of files after transfer (not being an admin, I can't really test this feature).
