Notice: I created [[Commons:Upload/autolang]] which automatically displays the upload form in the current interface language of the user. Mainly this page is used to be linked from the [[COM:UW|UW]]'s "back to the old form" link. [[Commons:Upload/autolang]] relies on the existence of the upload pages / redir pages in the format [[Commons:Upload/langcode]] - that is the case for all languages which are currently listed in [[Template:Lang-Upload]].

It would even be imagineable to move [[Commons:Upload]] → [[Commons:Upload/en]] and [[Commons:Upload/autolang]] → [[Commons:Upload]]. But maybe we have links coming in who reply on the fact that [[Commons:Upload]] is always in English and not in the user's language. Hmm..

== Delete [[Template:PD-USGov-OWI]] from US Gov't. license pull-down ==

+

+
OK, I used this page to upload a file from the Library of Congress, and for a license, I chose the "Original work of the US Farm Security Administration or Office of War Information" option from the pull-down.

+

+
It turns out that this option uses the [[Template:PD-USGov-OWI]] license, which was ''deleted a year ago''. If I, like the many Commons users who visit the Commons infrequently, hadn't carefully checked the resultant page, and hadn't returned a little while later to see the message left to me by a bot, I may never have noticed that the license was invalid, until ''after the file was deleted''. I wonder how many such deletions have occurred over the past year?

+

+
Regardless, this option must be removed from the pull-down. Thanks, [[User:Grolltech|Grolltech]] ([[User talk:Grolltech|talk]]) 23:22, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
