I have a few ideas about making it easier for Commons admins to discuss with people: A) With SUL, it's probably easy enough to make sure that at least the "homewiki" of a user is prominently shown on their Commons user page. This would allow for: *Better communication (you'd know what language those people speak) *Better and more to the point warnings (you'd know if someone is a newbie or a long time contributor) B) Could the Commons talk page be embedded in the homewiki talk page somehow, allowing for people to get their message where they are at. Or at lest have a warning "your talk page on commons has a message!" C) If SUL does not allow link to homewiki, or if someone creates an account directly on Commons, maybe in the login page, they could be asked to link to their homewiki account.
These are just ramblings. Commons is my project of choice, because I think it is one with the biggest potential, so I'm biased :)
Some years ago I created {{notify me}}. The idea was to make the bot responsible for alerting local projects of deleted and altered pictures (CommonsTicker?) notify people on their home wiki. Unfortunately that function got never implemented.
The template is/was mentioned at every welcome page users see when they register on Commons. The majoritiy of registration processes should be obsolete with SUL, but maybe we can get Duesentrieb to implement the feature ...
Best regards,
Flo
That would be really good. Full support!

Why don't we suggest turning the "Notify me per e-mail when my talk page is edited" feature on by default for new accounts? That would effectively do the same thing, but without a bot.

That would help, but it's often not the uploader who is responsible for the use of an image on a Wiki. One needs a more general way to notify the editors who are watching the page on which the image is used.
At the moment, CommonsTicker does not work on the English Wikiedia, and there is no way an en.W user can be advised in advance that a particular Commons image is likely to be deleted.
One option would be to write some code that would leave a short message on the talk page of any article on which an image nominated for deletion is in use.
Anyone care to write something like that?

The toolserver didn't have an up to date db of enwiki. It was then fixed but seems it wasn't added (and now enwiki replag is high again after the toolserver maintenance!).
