Your DRs on interiors of Swiss Churches[edit]
Hi!
I've seen that you created many deletion requests on the interior of Swiss churches. Please slow this process down until at least some of those DRs have been decided, so we're not needlessly binding resources. The sentence "Following the majority view in the legal literature, freedom of panorama does not apply to interior spaces" on Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Switzerland is not legaly binding and, given the fact that even there opposing views are quoted, this is not certain. It would be best if you could quote a recent federal court decision on the matter to clarify the meaning of the law. PaterMcFly (talk) 11:26, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- I have nominated several interiors and artworks of authors alive for deletion and until now the very vast majority was successful. So I believed my rational seems to work. Only recently some concerns come. Surprisingly for rather new buildings. On churches you also forget It is generally held that the interior of a church cannot be depicted under Article 27.
- But I can follow your concern that we'd be binding to many forces and I won't nominate new ones until some are decided. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 11:49, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you. That's what I meant: I am unaware of a court decision on this subject, so there's no clear indication on how "public place" is to be interpreted. And there are countries where FOP applies to indoor as well (eg. UK, Austria), so even in Europe there's no common understanding of this term. PaterMcFly (talk) 11:00, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah, but I have found a book that says otherwise. Any works in interior spaces are not within FoP also if they are accessible to the public.[1]p.158. I believe it is a good book, its of a law publisher and the book focuses on Swiss Cultural law. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 13:47, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

Tech News: 2023-44[edit]
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- The Structured Content team, as part of its project of improving UploadWizard on Commons, made some UX improvements to the upload step of choosing own vs not own work (T347590), as well as to the licensing step for own work (T347756).
- The Design Systems team has released version 1.0.0 of Codex, the new design system for Wikimedia. See the full announcement about the release of Codex 1.0.0.
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 31 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 November. It will be on all wikis from 2 November (calendar).
- Listings on category pages are sorted on each wiki for that language using a library. For a brief period on 2 November, changes to categories will not be sorted correctly for many languages. This is because the developers are upgrading to a new version of the library. They will then use a script to fix the existing categories. This will take a few hours or a few days depending on how big the wiki is. You can read more. [2][3]
- Starting November 1, the impact module (Special:Impact) will be upgraded by the Growth team. The new impact module shows newcomers more data regarding their impact on the wiki. It was tested by a few wikis during the last few months. [4]
Future changes
- There is a proposed plan for re-enabling the Graph Extension. You can help by reviewing this proposal and sharing what you think about it.
- The WMF is working on making it possible for administrators to edit MediaWiki configuration directly. This is similar to previous work on Special:EditGrowthConfig. A technical RfC is running until November 08, where you can provide feedback.
