Instead of the good old "Move" link in the dropdown, there's this "Move & Replace". How do I get rid of it? It's a nuisance when working at [[COM:HMS]] (and surely at many other special venues as well). [[User:Rehman|Reh]][[User talk:Rehman|man]] 13:37, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

== Noncommercial by the back door ==

[[User:Fir0002/credits|This user's custom license template]] gives re-users two options: noncommercial use under CC-BY-NC, or commercial use under GFDL 1.2 with a copy of or URL to the full license - an [[Commons:Licensing#Well-known licenses|impractical requirement]] that will almost certainly never be met in a commercial context. As if that wasn't bad enough, it even goes so far as to say "If you require a less restrictive commercial license please email me to negotiate terms".

This is a blatant attempt to evade our restriction on non-free images. If I understand our policy on [[Commons:Licensing#Acceptable licenses|acceptable licenses]], even offering CC-BY-NC as an option is not permitted. — [[User:Hex|'''Hex''']] [[User_talk:Hex|(❝'''?!'''❞)]] 14:35, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
