The servers appear to be configured to render transparency in SVG
using a chessboard pattern:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:LithuanianHistory.svg
Is that actually desired by anyone? It seems more useful for debugging
purposes than for actually using images.

What is the status of the CommonsDelinker bot, why does it seem inactive?
Was there a decision to stop it?

When I just read about admins getting scolded for deleting an image
that was long past its "due date", I thought about the nature of the
templates and the message they convey.
Currently, they say something like "this image needs more source info"
etc., and give the date the template was added. If nothing changes,
the image *may* be deleted after, what, a month? This would be the
equivalent of "best before" - in reality, it might last a lot longer
than that.
What if the attitude of the templates were changed? "This image lacks
this and that. It will be deleted on XXXX-YY-ZZ unless this
information is provided." My tool [2] can be used to find images that
have reached their final use-by date, and could be deleted with good
reason.
Theoretically, one could write a bot which could do the deletions, so
no admins get scolded. The idea of a deletion-bot with admin rights (a
virtual equivalent of [2];-) might sound scary, but setting it for "no
edits for a month since addition of the template", combined with the
image resurrection capability, should calm this.

------------------------------
Anyone on en:wp get this to work there yet? I tried:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Lar/dellinkNowCommons.js
(and called from my monobook) but I am not seeing anything extra like a
delete link when I view an image in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_with_the_same_name_on_Wikimedia
_Commons
(these all have NowCommons templates in them)
If you got this to work, please let me know, I want to crib from you.
Thanks!

But anyway, nice. I put it here:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Nocategoryimages.js
I also created a category:User scripts. If anyone else has some nifty
Javscript for Commons feel free to add it to this category.
I must say I really like the method of creating extra MediaWiki pages and
then getting users to 'include' them in their own Javascript files. It is
possibly not the best-scaling solution ever, but it is so much neater than
copying a trillion different versions of code around.

Question on the above
Should we maybe move the popups and edit counter stuff to there???

Since I just linked it from the wikimediafoundation.org contact page,
I suppose this page should really be finished ...
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Reusing_content_outside_Wikimedia
That is: a simple *one or two sentence* explanation of how to simply
satisfy each of our common free-content licences, simple enough that
the people who keep calling us asking to reuse articles or pictures
will read this instead and know just what to do. Please help!
(As noted at top, it should probably be moved to meta, but I suspect
we should finish it where it is first.)
