I often go about town with WikiShootMe opened on my phone, showing dots for places that have a Wikidata item, green if it has a picture and red if not. If red, bring up the Wikimedia Commons app to snap and upload a picture. The other day in the course of other work I discovered that we had a Wikidata item about a nearby old hotel with a pointer to an article and no picture. It didn't already have a picture from me, because it didn't show on the map, because the WD item had no coordinates. So, I immediately found and added coordinates, and next day walked to the hotel and snapped it.

The template should mention it. If it's on an article about a thing with one location (like, a building or a pond) then it should either quote the coordinates from Wikidata or, if none, request that coordinates be added. Jim.henderson (talk) 13:40, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This template currently links to Public domain image resources, a cross-namespace redirect to Wikipedia:Public domain image resources. That page claims to be out-of-date, and it says it's a copy of meta:Help:Public domain image resources, which is marked historical. The WP page links to c:Commons:Free media resources/Photography as a better listing of sources. Therefore, the line Many copyright-free image sources are listed at our [[public domain image resources]], or you could create your own. should be changed to Many copyright-free image sources are listed at [[c:Commons:Free media resources/Photography|Wikimedia Commons]], or you could create your own.. --rchard2scout (talk) 15:15, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Creative commons search link not found

Not really an X to Y, but still needs attention. The current link to Creative Commons search is still broken. Perhaps it should be changed to https://search.creativecommons.org/ (or something else)? Thanks, -- NotAGenious (talk) 17:20, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Completed – the 404 page that arises with the old CC.org link reads, "The /search path is currently broken. This will addressed soon. This domain previously hosted CC Search, which became Openverse." So the link in this template has been changed to Openverse, which appears to work the same as the old CC.org link did. This might be a temporary situation and should continue to be monitored. Thank you, editor NotAGenious, for your diligence! P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 19:59, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please apply this sandbox diff to the template (the sandbox was previously identical to the template, so copying its full contents should suffice). This will change the FIST link to link directly to the tool’s URL without going through the iw.toolforge.org redirect, which should be slightly faster for users and also plays nicer with Special:WhatLinksHere. (See also the equivalent edit request on the Photo requested template.) I tested the new version on Talk:Mojo (African-American culture) (without saving it, just via the preview), an arbitrary page using this template with some special characters (()) in the title, in order to check that the escaping isn’t broken.
