Another post about GFDL

Yes, it is another of those posts about GFDL :-)

But the new is that

1. There should be no more disclaimers added to any new uploads and all template with disclaimers are now named so it is clear they have disclaimers. See w:en:Wikipedia:GFDL standardization.
2. The GFDL update is complete with very few exceptions (mostly files that are suspected to be copysios and fixing a few templates). See Commons:License Migration Task Force/Migration

Per December 27, 2024 there are estimated to be 153,009 files liecensed GFDL outside Commons. Please note that some license templates categorize files in more than one category so some files are counted more than once (mostly screenshots).

Below are categories with more than 1,000 files licensed GFDL as an example.

<snip>

I could use some help to find the number of files that can't be moved to Commons because the files are not dual-licensed and they are uploaded after 15 October 2018. (They should go in the column "Date issue").

If anyone can think of a good way to automatize the count it would be great. Otherwise I can only think of checking the files manually (if there are only a few files) or with for example https://petscan.wmcloud.org/.

You can see all categories at User:MGA73/GFDL-list and you are very welcome to have a look.

Overall view and how to help

As you can see below most of the files are on Wikipedia followed by Wikiversity.

You can help by either figure out a way to locate files automatically or by assisting more manually.

If you know the language of the wiki or you do not mind to use a translator then it would be great if you would have a look at the files and move some of the good files to Commons. But remember if the file is not dual-licensed then the file must be uploaded before 15 October 2018.

If for some reason FileImporter does not work you are welcome to either fix or ask for help to fix.

If the files are bad (copyvios or not usable consider to nominate them for deletion locally).

Anyone is welcome to update numbers and/or add comments. Both in the table above and the tables below.

The full list including categories with 0 files and categories on Commons is at m:User:MGA73/GFDL files/Categories but it should be enough to look at categories with files.
