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)

:{{complete2}} – the [https://search.creativecommons.org/search?license=cc0,pdm,by,by-sa 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 [https://openverse.org/ {{red|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 {{u|NotAGenious}}, for your diligence! P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 19:59, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

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.

Just wanted to flag that I opened in Wikipedia:Bot requests a discussion about creating a bot to remove the outdated instances of this template.

There is quite a lot of vertical blank space when the {{para|in}} parameter is used. Example below: — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 22:27, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

There are certain countries where the category and template require a "the" to be present in the location variable, but users sometimes don't add a "the" and cause it to generate a redlinked tracking category instead of the one that does exist for that same location. The one I saw today was Talk:Pueblo Viejo mine, where somebody had typed {{Image requested|in=Dominican Republic}} instead of {{Image requested|in=the Dominican Republic}}, thus causing a redlinked {{cl|Wikipedia requested photographs in Dominican Republic}} to appear at Special:WantedCategories, so I had to go in and add the word "the" to it to make the redlink go away.

I don't remember specifically what other countries were involved, but I have seen other instances like this in the past, where the redlink hinged solely on the absence of a "the" in the image requested template's in= field.

It seems like this is the kind of thing this template should account for, however, as there's no potential ambiguity that would require in=Dominican Republic to be treated differently from in=the Dominican Republic. So could somebody modify this template to ensure that it doesn't generate redlinked categories that hinge solely on the absence of a "the" from a location label that does have a category with a "the" in it? In=Dominican Republic should automatically work the same way as in=the Dominican Republic does, and I see no particular reason why I should keep having to fix redlinks of this type when they're so easily preventable.
