User:Fran Rogers/CommonsHelper Helper
{{historical}}
This tool is now obsolete. [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~magnus/commonshelper.php CommonsHelper] now handles image uploads directly.
CommonsHelper Helper (CH²) is a user script which expedites the process of moving free images over to the Wikimedia Commons using Magnus Manske's excellent tool [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~magnus/commonshelper.php CommonsHelper]. When installed, this script adds a "Move image to the Commons" button to image edit pages, which brings up CommonsHelper in an inline frame and automatically tags the image with {{tl|NowCommons}} when complete.
Installation
To install, add the following to your user script page (most likely your common.js file which will work with whichever skin you've chosen):
importScript('User:Fran Rogers/CH2_en.js');
Save the page and clear your browser's cache.
Manual
NOTE: You must have the preference "Preview on first edit" set or CH2 will NOT work.
To move an image to the Commons:
- Go to the image's page
- Click "edit this page"
- Click the "Move image to the Commons" button above your toolbar
- Enter a new name for the image if desired, or leave blank
- Click "Start CommonsHelper"
- Upload the image with CommonsHelper (see the CommonsHelper manual for help)
- When done, click the "Click when finished uploading" button
- Review everything to make sure it's correct, and save the page.
