Since August 2023, only users with Autopatrol rights may overwrite files uploaded by other users. You may request autopatrol rights here in the Autopatrol section. If you are currently ineligible for autopatrol rights, you may request an exception for a particular file on this page. This page is only for requests on the technical permission; proposals for file improvements should be made on the file talk page.

Make sure that your planned overwriting complies with the file overwriting guidelines.

The template that allows overwriting a file ({{Allow Overwriting}}) may be placed by any user with patrol rights or the original uploader of the file.

Allow overwriting of File:Pride_radicale_de_Paris_14_juin_2026_-_le_fleurte.jpg

Upload of an unblurred picture without the consent of the participants. I would overwriting with a picture blurring every face. Médicis (talk) 11:06, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

@Silanoc: I feel like this should be discussed before I approve or deny. This is group of people in a public place doing something of public interest (marching in Pride radicale Paris). We should be fine as far as French law goes. But I also want to think about the participants and what would be best for them as well. Blurring every face makes it have less educational value as it would be the banner and blurred faces as the focus. Abzeronow (talk) 03:20, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

I’m in talk with the group of participants (that’s why I know they didn’t consent to it in the first place), they want their faces to be blurred Médicis (talk) 07:40, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

OK, that makes me inclined to approve. But I'll give it another day or two before I decide. Abzeronow (talk) 02:49, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

 Done You can now overwrite this file. Feels like it's on the protect side of the fine line between protecting and censoring the participants for me. Abzeronow (talk) 12:53, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

Allow overwriting of File:Binding of isaac logo.png

I'd like to upload the version with no background. LaserMoai (talk) 21:41, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

@LaserMoai Hi. I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to achieve, but perhaps you could upload a new file with a transparent background instead. Is there a reason you prefer overwriting the existing file rather than uploading a new one? Yours sincerely, Exusiai 彼女の愛は、甘くて痛い。 14:15, 6 August 2026 (UTC)

Allow overwriting of File:We Are Charlie Kirk - SPALEXMA.wav

Minor improvements: As the file format is uncompressed, the audio should be uploaded in the best quality available on streaming services, and not just be a result of an MP3 conversion. The new version contains sound artifacts on ~23950-24000Hz that are specific for AI generated music and are usually removed by most lossy audio codecs. 0KepOnline (talk) 02:23, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

Allow overwriting of File:Flag_of_Kayah_State.svg, File:Flag_of_Kayah_State_(1974–2010).svg

The Kinnaras on both flag images seem to be poorly drawn, and I would like to revectorize them tracing the Kinnara seen here . Burjkh (talk) 00:41, 8 August 2026 (UTC)

I'd rather not introduce an element from a non-free raster file to a vectorization. Abzeronow (talk) 16:23, 8 August 2026 (UTC)

Why not? I'm only vectorizing the Kinnara on the image and putting that on the flag. No raster on vector! What's wrong with that? Burjkh (talk) 16:29, 8 August 2026 (UTC)

You're tracing someone else's interpretation of the Kinnara, an interpretation that may be copyrighted even if the flag is not. Abzeronow (talk) 16:36, 8 August 2026 (UTC)

Looking at it again that does seem true, and I'd rather not contact the world statesmen at the moment. BUT. while it may not be possible for the current flag, it seems the former flag design is under free use, it is already in Wikicommons after all. So how about just the former flag? Burjkh (talk) 17:05, 8 August 2026 (UTC)

Yes, former flag is fine as a source.  Done Abzeronow (talk) 17:33, 8 August 2026 (UTC)

Allow overwriting of File:Flag of Egypt (1952–1958).svg

Hello, I would like to request a slight color change for the file mentioned above. It is with permission that I would like anyone with overwriting permissions to change the shade of red in the SVG file from #D01027 to #CE1126 as #CE1126 is generally accepted as the standard HEX shade of red used in most digital interpretations of flags based off the Arab Liberation flag such as Iraq, Yemen, North Yemen (1962-1990), Libya (1972-1977), and this flag-Egypt (1952-1958). I'm fairly new to editing so I apologize in advance but hopefully this request will be accepted. Thank you! WikiUser2324 (talk) 22:52, 8 August 2026 (UTC)

Allow overwriting of File:The Netherlands compared to sealevel.png

I would like to upload a new version that includes real life borders as reference in .png format, preview can be seen here: https://www.deviantart.com/phantomfunds/art/1365118704 Re-requesting since I don't believe my response is being looked at anymore on the original topic. PhantomFunds (talk) 01:23, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

The preview looks much smaller than the current version, we'd want a replacement at the same resolution or higher. I also notice some portions are shaded lighter than current version. Can you discuss your reasoning for that? Abzeronow (talk) 16:35, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

Yhe preview provided is 2811x3000 which is larger than the original which is 962x1003, however depending on if you clicked on the file or not you may not have seen it's full size (auto compression associated with DeviantArt which I uploaded to just to preview), however if an even larger version is desired that is not a problem as I recreated the file as a SVG and can extract to PNG as any size desired. The lighter shaded portions are the afforementioned real life borders for reference. PhantomFunds (talk) 17:08, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

OK, NoScript was interfering with clicking on preview, I fixed that issue. Resolution is fine. I can see now what you mean by real life borders. The shading might indicate a different sea level than what is intended on the map. Abzeronow (talk) 17:19, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

Allow overwriting of File:Doublage en Europe.png

Allow overwriting of File:Doublage en Europe.png, because the French-speaking and German-speaking region of Wallonia exclusively use dubbing, whereas the Dutch-speaking region of Flanders uses subtitles (except for children's animation), and that is why Belgium needs to be colored in light blue corresponding to that category.
