Hi Bryan,
With the pending toolserver shutdown, I was thinking about retiring Flickr
Upload Bot. However, this bot is apparently still used about 2000-4000 times per month. I was under the impression that the upload wizard would replace this bot, however, I couldn't find any references to this. Does anybody know what the status of uploading from Flickr using the upload wizard is?
I penned https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Upload_Wizard/Flickr some time ago. It’s scarce and probably not up to date but the essential information is here : UploadWizard for Flickr is reserved to sysops and image reviewers at the moment. This would explain why your (awesome) bot is used.
Hope that helps,
