이 문서는 위키미디어 공용의 자주 묻는 질문을 짧은 답변과 배경 문서의 링크와 함께 요약한 것입니다.
프로젝트에 대한 질문
이 사이트는 무엇에 대한 것입니까?
"위키미디어 공용" (줄여서 "공용")은 미디어 저장소로써, 대가를 받는 전문가가 아닌 자원봉사자들에 의해서 제작 및 운영되고 있습니다. 이 사이트는 자유로운 백과사전인 위키백과를 포함한 모든 위키미디어 프로젝트에서 유용하게 쓰일 수 있는 자유로운 라이선스 사진, 그림, 애니메이션, 음악, 음성, 영상, 미디어 자료의 중앙 저장소 역할을 하고 있습니다. "위키미디어 공용" (Wikimedia Commons)이라는 이름은 모든 위키미디어 프로젝트를 관할하는 포괄적인 프로젝트 위키미디어 (Wikimedia)와 모든 위키미디어 프로젝트에 사용할 수 있는 미디어를 저장하는 것을 목적으로 하는 공용 프로젝트의 "공용" (common)을 합친 것에서 유래한 것입니다.
이 프로젝트의 목적은 무엇인가요?
Commons:프로젝트 기준을 보세요. Commons:공용에 대한 오해 문서도 좋은 도움이 될 것입니다.
제가 이 사이트에 자료를 올릴 수 있습니까?
예, 당연한 말씀입니다! 사실, 우리가 여러분에게 바라는 것이 바로 그것입니다. 초보자 길라잡이를 읽고 프로젝트 참여를 시작해보세요.
올릴 수 있는 자료는 무엇입니까?
위키미디어 프로젝트에 유용한 자료라면 어떠한 자유 라이선스 미디어 자료라도 올릴 수 있습니다. 라이선스는 상업적 이용과 2차 저작물 제작을 반드시 허용해야 합니다.1 라이선스 상태 필요에 대한 저작권 관련 질문을 참고하세요. 그림을 올리는 것에 관심이 있다면 공용:주제별 저작권 규칙에서 원하는 도움을 찾을 수 있을 것입니다.
어떤 개념을 설명하는 자바나 플래시를 올릴 수 있습니까?
일반적으로 올릴 수 없습니다. Commons:프로젝트 기준과 Commons:파일 형식을 보세요... 공용은 소프트웨어 저장소가 아닌, 미디어 저장소를 목표로 하고 있습니다. 여러분이 제작한 소프트웨어는 다른 프로젝트 (예를 들어서 소스포지가 있으며, 분류:자유 소프트웨어 호스팅 시설에서 찾을 수도 있습니다.)에서 공유하는 것이 훨씬 적합할 것입니다. (플래시는 소프트웨어인지, 미디어인지의 구별이 불명확하나, 자바는 확실히 소프트웨어입니다).
제가 직접 쓴 글을 올릴 수 있습니까?
공용은 멀티미디어 콘텐츠 (그림, 영상, 소리)를 다루며, 글은 다루지 않습니다. 글은 형태와 내용에 따라서 위키백과, 위키문헌집, 또는 위키책과 같은 다른 위키미디어 프로젝트에 넣는 것이 적합합니다. 하지만 이러한 프로젝트에서는 가져온 글이 퍼블릭 도메인, 또는 크리에이티브 커먼즈 저작자표시/동일조건변경허락 (CC-BY, 또는 CC-BY-SA) 라이선스로 배포되어야 하며, 이것을 원하지 않는다면 올리지 말아야 합니다. 예를 들어서, 외부 웹사이트에서 가져온 글을 사용하고자 할 경우에는 퍼블릭 도메인, 또는 CC-BY-SA 라이선스로 배포하고 있는지에 대한 확인이 필요합니다. 이것은 자신의 웹사이트에서 가져온 글일 경우에도 해당됩니다.
'화랑' (일반 이름 공간) 문서는 무엇입니까? 어떻게 만드는 것이죠?
화랑은 분류를 보완하는 것으로, 미디어 자료를 나열하는 또 다른 방법입니다. 화랑 문서는 파일을 표를 이용하여 구성하며, 각 파일에 관련한 설명을 주석으로 달 수 있습니다. 또한, 파일을 분류 문서의 기본 크기보다 좀 더 나은 크기로 나타낼 수 있습니다. 일반적으로 화랑 문서는 주제에 대한 간단한 소개를 여러 언어로 표시하는 것으로 시작하며 (Commons Sum-it-up을 통해 자동 생성 가능), 뒤이은 머릿 부분은 <gallery> 태그를 사용하여 표시하는 것이 전형적입니다. (메타 도움말 문서 참고)
파일들에는 인터위키 링크와 (Sum-it-up으로 생성 가능) 적어도 한 가지 분류가 있어야 합니다. 화랑 문서는 적어도 한 분류에는 반드시 속해 있어야 한다는 것을 명심하세요.
새로운 화랑 문서를 설계하는 좋은 방법 중 하나는 비슷한 주제를 가진 다른 문서를 개작하는 것입니다. 종 (식물/동물) 문서와 장소 (도시/국가) 문서는 서로 다르겠죠?
언제 갤러리나 분류를 사용해야 하나요?
Files should always be added to descriptive categories, since if they are only added to galleries, they can be easily removed from them and thus "lost". Categories are useful as indiscriminately large "containers" of images on a topic. Galleries (on article pages) are useful as showcasing the best, most illustrative, informative and interesting images of a category. They are also useful for presenting material in a logical order, something categories have a limited ability to do. For example, compare Tennis to Category:Tennis. Information on gallery pages can be presented in a hierarchical manner, such as Pronunciation of Dutch municipality names and United States.
This is just advice for if you feel totally lost. Some topics have specific guidelines for the organisation of media, such as plants and animals which fall under the WikiProject Tree of Life. Unless you are interested in helping out with such projects, don't worry too much about finding out what the 'rules' are until someone tells you -- the people who take part in the project will fix things up.
저작권에 대한 질문
사용하기 위해 올린 파일은 어떤 라이선스를 적용해야 합니까?
Anything that you upload must be in the 퍼블릭 도메인, or under a free license such as GNU Free Documentation License or CC BY/BY-SA. For more, see 공용:라이선스 and 공용:저작권 틀. Please do not invent licenses out of thin air. Most things on the Internet are copyrighted. Don't assume otherwise unless you have a good reason. When publishing your own work, you can release your work into the public domain ({{PD-self}}), or under specific licenses: {{self|license name}}, {{self|license 1|license 2}} etc. You may also choose one of the options from the drop-down menu license selector at Special:Upload under "own work".
다른 사람의 자료를 수정하거나 복제한 자료를 올릴 수 있습니까?
Only the producer of an original work, or those who have been granted the right to license that work, can license the work. If such work has certain licenses then you can. For example, Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license specifically state that you are free to share and adapt the material.[1] But a scan or a modification does not automatically make a document become (or transform into) your own work. This means that you cannot just grab a file from the Internet and put a GFDL or CC license on it. See also 공용:주제별 저작권 규칙.
왜 공용은 공정 이용 콘텐츠를 허용하지 않습니까?
One of Wikimedia Commons core principles is that content stored here should be freely reusable in any context, anywhere in the world, in the same way that the (CC BY-SA licensed) encyclopedia content is. This restricts us to free content only. This principle, like the NPOV policy at Wikipedia, will never change. Also, fair use applies only to usage in an editorial context – it simply doesn't apply to a media repository. Copyright law also varies from country to country. Thus, 공정 이용 laws will also vary: each country has its own interpretation, and many jurisdictions have no fair use at all. As a result, fair use content is seldom going to be usable outside the United States.
- 참조: 공용:공정 이용
위키미디어 이외에서 이 사이트의 자료를 사용할 수 있습니까?
Yes, you can. Check the license on the image description page. In most cases, you will be okay if you copy the author and licensing information from the image description page and publish that with the image or other file. See 공용:위키미디어 밖에서 컨텐츠 활용하기 for details.
요약, 또는 그림 설명 문서에는 어떤 정보를 실어야 합니까?
초보자 길라잡이의 튜토리얼을 보세요. 설명 문서를 기입하실 때는 Template:Information을 이용해보시는 것을 추천합니다.
Where do I get credit for my images?
Some of our accepted licenses require attribution. This means that a photographer has to be given credit every time their picture is used. Please make sure you put the name you want to have mentioned in the description page of the image. Within Wikipedia articles, people who click your image in order to enlarge it will see your name.
플리커 라이선스가 바뀌면 어떻게 됩니까?
See also: Commons:Flickr images. Authors may change their Creative Commons licenses and sometimes do, but their license at the time of verification cannot be revoked. (See the Creative Commons FAQ: What if I change my mind about using a CC license?) If an upload from Flickr has a verified CC BY or CC BY-SA license, the file remains on Commons. However, the template {{Flickr-change-of-license}} might be added. Works identified on the image page as a new version of a verified file also remain. Verification appears in a FlickreviewR, administrator or trusted user notice on the image page.
I have uploaded an image, can I revoke the license later?
The short answer is "No".
Free licenses are designed in such a way that once you release the work under them, you cannot later demand that people stop using that particular license to distribute the work. This is done to protect the users from putting their time and energy making what you upload better or developing something around that work, only to find out later than their work cannot be distributed at all because you have changed your mind. Also see the official Creative Commons FAQ topic “What if I change my mind about using a CC license?”, more info.
Please think hard before you upload images to Wikimedia Commons.
Having said that, on some occasions, such as when it is clear that a mistake was made, and the uploader requests the deletion right after the upload, images are deleted. But this is not a loop-hole that you can use if your upload has resided on Commons for a week or more.
I am not the author, but I have permission
If you are not the author but you have their permission to distribute under a free license (COM:L) please see Commons:Volunteer Response Team#Licensing images: when do I contact VRT?"
기술적 질문
제가 올리는 파일의 해상도는 어떻게 하나요?
No. It is the same 미디어위키 as for most other Wikimedia sites, but with galleries instead of articles in the main namespace (see the question above). But this site has many heavily customized gadgets and most templates are unique to Commons and developed locally.
What resolution should the images I upload be?
See also: Commons:Preparing images for upload. The highest resolution available for images is more than welcome. You don't have to worry about server disk space and the load-time of the Wikipedia pages that refer to them, since the software automatically generates and caches smaller (as specified in the articles) versions.
However, scaling of images may fail if the image is very large and rendering takes too much time or memory (in that case, either no scaled image is shown, or the full image is served to the browser, often causing it to lock up). For PNG images, a hard limit of 25 megapixels is in effect. Large JPEGs are only problematic if they are saved in progressive mode, since the entire image has to be processed at once. Use baseline mode instead.
In case the full scale original is too large to process for the software, upload it anyway, but then please overwrite it with a scaled down version (around 6 megapixels in size); the full scale version will still be available in the upload history, and you can add a reference to it in the image description.
How can I directly use materials on this site in Wikipedias?
Just link to the image's file name as if it were a local image. Note: There may be a slight delay in loading the image on the Wikipedia you link it from. This is due to a delay in cached versions of images and can be fixed by doing a reload on the image itself rather than on the page it is displayed on. See also MediaWiki image help, media help page in Meta-wiki, Wikipedia image markup page and Wikipedia picture tutorial.
How do I link to an image without showing it?
Use [[:File:Example.jpg]]. That shows up as: File:Example.jpg
위키백과의 그림을 공용으로 어떻게 옮기나요?
See also: Commons:Moving files to Commons. If the image is under a free license, you can use FileImporter to transfer it to Commons.
그림이나 기타 미디어 파일의 이름을 바꾸거나 이동하는 방법은 무엇입니까?
See also: Commons:File renaming. If you are the uploader and recently uploaded the file, review Commons:파일 이름 and add the following template to the file description page: {{rename|1=new name.jpg|2=1|3=uploader request: please rename to fix .. }}, where |2= is a number from 1 to 7 (with 2=1 being for Uploader requested).
If you are not the uploader, check if the reason matches one outlined in Commons:File renaming. If yes, use {{Rename}} as well, stating the corresponding reason.
Gallery and userspace pages can be moved by logged in users by using the "move" link usually shown at the top of the page (this depends on the skin you use). Note that this feature may not be available to new users; if needed, just ask someone to do it for you.
분류 이름을 바꾸거나 이동하는 방법
Commons:Rename a category를 보세요.
문서 / 그림을 어떻게 분류에 추가합니까?
To add an image or page to category Foo, add the following link to the page (resp. the image's description): [[Category:Foo]]. This is a "magic" link, which will a) appear in the category box at the bottom of the page and b) cause the image to show up in the category. See 공용:분류 for more information.
저만의 사진을 가장 잘 분류할 수 있는 방법은 무엇입니까?
Categorization should answer "W-questions", most importantly: What is it? Where is it? A file should be put in the most specific category/categories that fit(s). We don't use general keyword tags like "nature" or "architecture" to organize files.
There are several ways to find appropriate categories (or gallery pages).
- Look at Main page and at the categories given there, and go to the one that best fits your picture. Then look at subcategories and pages in that category, and again choose the one that fits best. Repeat until you find no more specific place that fits your picture.
- Type the name (or location, or a short description) of the depicted motif into the search box. In the search results, look for a suitable category or pictures of the same motif that have already been properly categorized.
- If your picture is suitable to illustrate a specific Wikipedia article, find out if there is a link to the corresponding Commons category (or gallery) in the article's "In other projects" or "External links" sections, and follow that link.
If unsure, choose a more general category. However, unless a picture has additional important elements to it that are currently missing their own subcategories, avoid categorizing pictures into both a subcategory and one of this subcategory's more general parent categories. See 공용:분류 for more information.
Why might a category list not be up to date?
Sometimes, pages are placed in categories not manually by Commons editors, but by means of a special editing tool called a template, which can be used to place identical information (including category membership information) on many different pages at once. When the information on such a template is edited, the pages containing that template are not necessarily updated immediately. This means that pages might not always appear in the most current categories. However, this problem usually affects project maintenance categories rather than the categories used for browsing.
Various other temporary delays may sometimes mean that lists of category members or subcategories, or the page counts given, are not completely up to date. So if you are editing Commons and find that your page hasn't yet shown up in a category or been removed from an old category, don't panic! The problem will probably resolve itself within minutes, or after a longer time in rare cases.
어떻게 분류를 정리합니까?
See also: Commons:Categories. Try to copy the existing structure when expanding categories. Make sure each new category has at least one parent category. See if your area has a category scheme, or if there is one you can model yours on. Especially for species and countries, the structure should follow the conventions set by existing structures. For more information about categories on Commons, see 공용:분류.
저만의 사진 갤러리를 가장 잘 만드는 방법은 무엇입니까?
You can create a user gallery either as a subpage of your user page (so if you are user Foo, put your gallery page at User:Foo/gallery), or as a category (called something like Category:Pictures by Foo). All user galleries should be in Category:User galleries, all user categories should be in Category:User categories – see Commons:User-specific galleries, templates and categories for details. To find all the pictures you have uploaded, you can use the upload log.
갤러리는 어떻게 만드나요?
See meta:Help:Images and other uploaded files#Gallery for information on how to create galleries the easy way – with the <gallery> tag. The page Commons:Galleries might give you information on common conventions of galleries here on Commons.
왜 이전버전 그림이 나오고 새로 올린 새버전 그림이 안 나오나요? (혹은 섬네일이 잘못 나옵니다)
캐시를 지우고 새로고침해보세요. 새로고침할 때 Shift 키를 누른 상태로 하세요(hard refresh) 가끔 새 버전의 이미지에 대해 새 섬네일을 생성하는 데 시간이 걸릴 수 있습니다.
See Help:Purge, en:WP:BYPASS, and en:WP:PURGE for more details.
Can I upload video and/or audio?
왜 일부 그림을 볼 수 없나요?
It might be a thumbnail problem (see the question above), or you might run an ad-blocking software that mistakenly thinks the image was an advertisement. Can you see File:D-fructose.png? If not, then that's the likely cause of your problem. That image resides at the URL https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ad/D-fructose.png which contains the string "/ad/". Your ad-blocker is probably configured such that it considers all images with a URL containing this string to be advertisements. Change the configuration such that this rule does not apply to the .wikipedia.org and .wikimedia.org domains. That should cure the problem.
The file may be too large to give a thumbnail (e.g., a large JPG in progressive mode). See: Commons:File types#Size and scaling.
어떻게 그림을 검색하나요?
Look at Special:MediaSearch or Special:Search and follow the links there. For more advanced searching see Help:Searching and Commons:Tools#Search. You can also go to related articles in the different Wikipedias and look at what pictures they are using. Some may already be on Commons, and they should be categorized, giving you a hint where to look for more.
How will the software be adapted for this project?
See Commons:Tools, commons:소도구 and Commons:Bugs.
파일 수가 많습니다. 한 번에 하나씩이 아닌 일괄 업로드가 가능한가요?
See also: Commons:Upload tools. Yes. The UploadWizard allows you to upload a batch of files at the same time.
There also is a number of popular standalone batch-upload tools that you can install on your computer.
If you use Lightroom, Darktable or Digikam, there are even extensions for directly uploading (batches of) images from within your editing software available.
For those comfortable with the Unix command line or Python, there is a number of upload scripts for batch uploads available as well.
파일이나 문서의 이름을 바꾸거나 이동해야 합니다. 가능한가요?
Galleries and other standard pages: yes. Accounts older than four days can rename articles by using the 'move' tab at the top of the page. Note that for different language titles, redirects should be created rather than moving a page.
Files (Images): Yes, but only by administrators or users with the filemover permission. Please see § How can I rename/move an image or other media file?.
Categories: no. If the badly named category is still a likely one (rather than a misspelling), the badly named one should be converted into a soft redirect by tagging it with {{Category redirect}}. The images in the category have to be manually changed to belong to the new category. (Cat-a-lot is a gadget which makes such mass recategorisation easy.) Note that due to technical restrictions, categories should all be in English.
When I tried to upload my file, I get this error: "." is not an allowed file format. See Commons:File types for more information.
Make sure that the file you're uploading has an extension and that it is one of the allowed types. Make sure also that you have not left a space either before or after the point.
Be sure to include an extension in the Destination filename: field as well. For example, write "Orange grove in summer.jpg" not just "Orange grove in summer".
What does the upload error This file contains HTML or script code that may be erroneously interpreted by a web browser. mean?
The file you tried to upload contains some HTML code in its metadata. Most likely, you tried to upload a JPG file, and the HTML is contained in the file's Exif data. Because of security concerns, such files cannot be uploaded.
You'll have to remove the HTML code from the file's metadata. You will need to have access to software that allows you to edit such metadata. One way to do this is via exiftool. This is a very powerful command-line program to edit image metadata. If you're using a computer running the Windows operating system, there is also a graphical user interface to that tool called ExiftoolGUI.
If the file you tried to upload is from Flickr, you can view (but not edit) the metadata on Flickr. For instance, this Flickr image does have HTML in its metadata and will thus provoke this error message. You can view the metadata by appending "/meta" to the URL: this image's metadata. The "Caption-Abstract" metadata entry contains HTML-code: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napier,_New_Zealand#1931_earthquake">Wikipedia</a>. That's the bit you'd need to remove. (Yes, that's just a harmless link. But with HTML, one could try to do more nefarious things, and thus our software simply forbids any HTML in image metadata.) Download the Flickr file to your computer and then remove the HTML from the metadata.
Once you have removed the HTML from the image's metadata, you should be able to upload the file. (Do not upload this sample file from Flickr, though, it already exists as File:Central Hotel, Napier 05.jpg.)
공용 그림을 사용하고 싶은데, 제 로컬 위키에 동일한 이름의 파일이 이미 있어서 막혀 있습니다. 어떻게 공용 그림으로 접근할 수 있을까요?
현 시점에서는 안타깝게도 유일한 해결책은 로컬 파일을 삭제하거나 다른 이름으로 공용 그림을 다시 업로드하는 것입니다.
파일의 새로운 판을 어떻게 업로드할 수 있을까요?
Firstly, you can only do this if your account is older than 4 days.
Secondly, consider uploading to a separate file unless the changes are relatively minor. See 기존 파일 덮어쓰기.
If you are still intent on uploading a new version of a file, you should have the new version of the file saved to your computer, then navigate to the image page here on Commons. Under the subhead "File history", there is a link that says "Upload a new version of this file". Click on this link. You will be taken to a page titled "Upload file". Scroll down to the middle of this page to a box labeled "Source file". Next to the words Source filename is a button marked Browse.... Click on this button and browse your computer to find the new version of the file. Do not alter the entry under Destination filename:. Under File changes, indicate what changes you have made (e.g., "hi-res version" or "removed background noise" or "fixed colour balance")— just one line is enough to say what changes your new version contains. Lastly, click the Upload file button. A warning will appear telling you that you are replacing an existing file— as that is what you want to do, you should continue.
Avoid overwriting images with different images of the same topic.
Where can I see where my file is being used?
Below the "File history" section are two "file usage" sections, one titled File usage on Commons and another titled File usage on other wikis. These two sections will list all instances on Wikimedia Foundation projects where your file is currently in use.
Why is the text of my new uploads corrected soon after upload?
In last couple of years Wikimedia Commons has been working hard on localization or internationalization (aka. i18n) of most of the text a user might see on any page. The goal is to show the content in the language of the user's choice. The current upload process, which creates a lot of new text visible on each page, was written before the current push for internationalization and creates all the headers and other standard texts in the language of the uploader, and since the software supports many different languages, new images are created daily with text in all those languages. In order to correct the problem, some automatic processes (aka bots) patrol new uploads, changing the text to code which will automatically show the text in the language of the user's choice. Some of the changes you might expect to see on files uploaded (using English language for these examples) are:
Summary→{{int:filedesc}}[[Commons:Copyright tags|Licensing]]→{{int:license}}Own work→{{Own}}
Can't the upload process be fixed so it creates the correct wiki-text?
As explained in the above section, the wiki-text of the new file uploads is created directly by the server-side upload program (a php script). It can only be fixed by changing the Mediawiki code. The problem is well known, but it is unclear if there are plans to fix it (as of Nov 2009). Some recent discussions on the subject can be found here.
Why did my image rotate after I uploaded it?
This is most likely the result of an error in the file's EXIF data (also called its "metadata"). See Commons:Rotation for information about fixing this problem.
How do I fix the orientation of an image?
If your image appears upside down or needs to be turned by 90°, click on the Edit tab on the top of the file page. Then scroll down and type {{Rotate}} somewhere in the edit window. This will add a "rotation" template to your file (if you know exactly how you would like the image rotated, add that information to the template per the instructions below). Finish by clicking Save page at the bottom of the page. After a couple of hours, a bot will automatically rotate the image (losslessly, if possible).
RotateLink is a default gadget to add a link “(
request rotation)” to file pages, which allows you to easily (automatically) request any rotation.
Manual way:
| Template | Rotation |
|---|---|
| {{rotate|90}} |  90 degrees clockwise
|
| {{rotate|180}} |  180 degrees
|
| {{rotate|270}} |  270 degrees clockwise (90° anticlockwise)
|
If you request a rotation by another value (e.g. 5°), the image will be placed in Category:Images requiring rotation for processing by humans. Maybe an editor will take the time to rotate it – can take some longer time.
My camera puts a timestamp on photos. Good?
No. Not good. Turn it off. It's much better to just let your camera store things like this in the file's Exif data – most devices will do that automatically.
What are the strangely named components in file paths?
And how are they computed?
If you go to some file on a MediaWiki installation, say File:Spelterini Blüemlisalp.jpg, and you click to view the full version, you may discover that the file resides at the URL https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ae/Spelterini_Bl%C3%BCemlisalp.jpg. (The "%C3%BC" part is just the result of url-encoding the Umlaut "ü".)
- Where does that "/a/ae" part come from?
- The "a" and "ae" denote some subdirectories that are used to avoid problems with directories containing too many files. Imagine all the millions of files at the Commons in one directory! Some operating systems have problems dealing with directories with many files. (Try working with a folder containing a few thousand files on Windows…)
- Can it be calculated from the file name?
- Yes. It's the first and the first two characters of the MD5 hash of the filename (blanks replaced by underscores) without namespace part. The file name "Spelterini_Blüemlisalp.jpg" has the MD5 hash "ae1a26d34d6a674d4400c8a1e6fe73f8".
- MediaWiki installations can be configured on how to generate these filenames and directory structures. Any MediaWiki installation has one or more file repositories, which may be local or not. First, such subdirectories are used only if the global server-side configuration setting $wgHashedUploadDirectory is
true(or $wgHashedSharedUploadDirectory for shared repositories). Then, for each file repository, there is a property calledhashLevelsthat determines how deep the directory structure shall be. If zero, no such intermediary directories are used. If set to e.g. 3, three levels of directories are used; for the example above, one would get "/a/ae/ae1". - This method of storing files has been in MediaWiki since version 1.1 (and possibly even earlier), though it became a bit more configurable over time; initially, it was hardcoded to use two hash levels.
- You can check what the file URL for a given file name will be at Special:FilePath. The file path can also be queried through the MediaWiki API using e.g. a query like https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=File:Spelterini_Bl%C3%BCemlisalp.jpg&prop=imageinfo&iiprop=url. Both these methods, however, work only for existing files.
- Online MD5 calculators differ in the way they treat UTF-8 input. Two that return values consistent with the way MediaWiki hashes UTF-8 strings are helloacm.com/md5/ and md5.cz.
How do I translate the subtitles on a video?
You can create a copy of the timed text page containing the transcribed subtitles, changing the language code in the timed text page to your language code. Then you simply translate the text. See Commons:Timed Text#Internationalization.
Internal error: bad token
When uploading a file you may see an Internal error: Bad token. error message. This will usually be fixed by logging out of Commons, closing your browser, and starting again. If not, you may additionally delete all cookies (or just the wikimedia.org cookie) and purge your browser's cache before trying again. If this still does not solve the issue, try turning off ad blockers or network filters (sometimes the token could look like an advert URL).
How do I close my account?
If you want to stop using Commons, then no special procedure is needed: simply stop visiting the site. Accounts cannot be removed completely, but some measures can be taken for privacy. See Right to vanish.
How do I request file deletion?
See the pages listed at Commons:Deletion.
Why can't I upload?
In some cases, uploads can be blocked by Commons:Abuse filter.
공용 공동체에 대한 질문
관리자는 무엇이며 어떻게 될 수 있습니까?
Commons:관리자 문서를 참고하세요.
질문은 어디서 할 수 있습니까?
If you want to raise a question which you think is likely to have been raised before, use the Commons:Help desk. If you want to raise a question which might be new, or gain wider community attention, use the Commons:Village pump. There's also a place to discuss technical issues at Commons:Village pump/Technical and a forum dedicated to anything copyright-related at Commons:Village pump/Copyright
How does Commons work with similar projects?
Commons is very interested in working with projects that have similar aims. See Commons:GLAM for details.
삭제가 필요한 문서나 파일은 어떻게 해야 되나요?
Commons:삭제 요청와 Commons:삭제 정책를 참고하세요.
왜 위키미디어 프로젝트의 모든 그림들이 기본적으로 여기로 업로드되지 않나요?
Most importantly, some Wikipedias have a less strict licensing policy than Commons, as some pictures that would not be acceptable to Commons would be okay on them. Commons does not (and cannot) allow fair use content, as some Wikipedias do. See 공용:공정 이용.
여기서는 어떤 언어를 사용해야 합니까?
Ideally, whichever one you are most comfortable with. See Commons:언어 정책. However for technical reasons categories should be in English.
Unfortunately, users who don't know English well may have a harder time on Commons. Commons tries to supply information in many languages, but non-English pages tend to be incomplete or outdated. Also, some things, like the names of categories, can't (yet) be localized. Sorry.
