[Commons-l] [Fwd: [Wikipedia-l] Commons moving helper]

Wow, that's super awesome. Nice work!!

Some initial thoughts:
* It would be nice if you could enter "Image:Foo.jpg" as well as
"Foo.jpg", or at least have a warning that the latter is expected,
since the former generates scary looking errors. :)
* It would be really nice if it failed (with explanation) if an image
with a fairuse license was entered. eg, fairuse, logo, screenshot,
promophoto, et al. I don't know if Duesentrieb's meta tags have been
implemented on en yet but if/when they are, they could be useful here.
* It would be super nice if it prompted/warned the user to only upload
images where the license is verifiable and/or a source is given. This
would be more for the benefit of people transferring images after the
fact rather than the original uploaders, since they obviously ignore
such warnings anyway.
* It would be awesomely nice if it also put a message at the end
asking the user to give the image a category. This is v important for
the Commons but not so much for the Wikipedias. In this spirit, it
could also remind the user to tag the original image as
{{NowCommons|new name}} or {{NowCommonsThis}}.

But anyway... very awesome! We can add this to [[commons:Commons:Tools]].

Now we just need the universal login to make life complete :)
