Allow overwirting of File:Visa policy of Kyrgyzstan.svg, File:Visa policy of Uzbekistan.svg, FIle:Visa policy of Togo.svg, File:Visa policy of Paraguay.svg, File:Visa policy of Moldova.svg and File:Visa policy of Serbia.svg

For Kyrgyzstan, only minor changes have occurred. For Uzbekistan, I would like to restore the SVG, as a PNG is currently displayed on the page because the SVG could not be updated. For Togo, the colors are misleading, yellow represents VOA, not eVisa. Malaysians can enter Paraguay visa-free. For Moldova and Serbia on their respective visa policy pages a png map is used, instead of a svg one, because the svg could not be updated.Ssdd.11 (talk) 16:33, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

Allow overwriting of File:Sinlaku 2026-04-12 1800Z.png

I’d like to do a simple color correction on the peak infrared image of Super Typhoon Sinlaku (2026) that other nighttime IR images like Hurricane Kirk (2024) has for example, the current one doesn’t look too great with the dark green-ish hue and darkness applied, with Sinlaku’s IR image here taken at its pretty significant peak intensity, an uncontroversial color correction like this should be done in my opinion.

I've added a German translation. The previous version contained artifacts from the SVG translation tool, which added unnecessary switch commands to translate the scale numbers.

Allow overwriting of File:Remow logo.jpg

I would like to request the change of a certain file above, as the image (which is a corporate logo) has an excessive background that does not appear to be "sub-par or similar with other logos" attached in Wikipedia articles. I have a cropped version of this image from the same source material (see actual attachment on their website based on their file description, which is apparently a .svg file that converted into a .jpg file; although my version is also a .jpg file but with a cropped one to be in par with the original file upload). If anyone replied to me suggesting to create a .svg version of the same file, I (or somebody) would take that request in the future which will be fall under the Wikimedia Commons guidelines.
