It would be useful if a few things were changed:

It could be difficult, since there are various kinds of image urls at
flickr, but I'll see what I can do.
well, it doesn't have to be perfect. The two obvious cases (the image
page, where comments and tags are, and the 'photo zoom' version which
has different sizes) should be relatively easy. for anything else, it
can always throw an error which explains how to find the image ID.
* include the
{{flickrreview}} template in the pastable output (I
thought it used to?)
For admins it already does :)
for everyone else, it should just put {{flickrreview}} though :P
* make
translatable, since if other langs update their special:Upload
forms, they will want to link to a version in their language
What exactly should be translateable?
Subtitle ('the easy way to upload pics from Flickr'), field name
('ID:'), submit button text ('Get Flickr-Info'), link names ('Open
upload form', 'Download original size'), preview button text
('preview'), any error messages. You know, basically any piece of text
aside from the paste-able content.
I would also make the URL of the 'open upload form' link
translate-able. For EN it can be
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?uselang=fromflickr&title=Speci…
If other languages implement these forms, they will be like
uselang=DEfromflickr
etc.
I would also create a page just for feedback and comments on the tool,
rather than only linking to your userpage. (And make it on commons or
meta, please. :P) And on the page you can give info about how people
can provide translations.
Probably Magnus or Duesentrieb can give more advice at this stage,
about making tools i18nable.
