Hello all

I have activated CommonsTicker [1] for a first live test at the German Wikipedia [2] (have a look at the wiki text of the actual entries in [3], you don't need to speak German for that). An announcement about it is on the Village Pump [4]. After a short test run, I will set up ticker pages on other projects on request (in cooperation with a local admin).

CommonsTicker monitors Common's RC feed and records deletion and replacement of images, as well as deletion tags being placed on description pages. For each project with a ticker page, CommonsTicker then determines which images are used on that project, and posts a notice for the local community.

I hope this will help to integrate Commons more closely with the Wikipedia communities; I hope this will get people more involved with commons, and gets us some help unlinking images that have to be deleted, etc.

So, please have a look...
