Another easy and obvious way is to get
[[User:Orgullobot]] delinking
for us. User:Orgullomoore is happy to implement the bot with
translations and we have a good 40 languages already done. I have
thought we should wait until the single login is implemented before we
do this, but it's been 6+ months "coming soon", so I think we should
go ahead and if single login happens, well good for it.
I am willing to offer my services here. I am an admin (even
bureaucrat) on Commons, but have not been active recently simply
because there's so much more to do; however, I think I can be of much
use here because I already have logins on basically all Wikipedia
languages, so I can act as if single logon already exists. If you can
inform me of images that should be deleted but currently are not
because they are still in use, I'd be happy to go around and unlink
them. Letting me do so would I think be better than having a bot for
it, because I will go and check whether there is any replacement
available, and replacing is much harder than delinking to do by bot
(because one has to check whether the subtitle is still applicable).
You know we are talking about thousands of images... right?
Well you can start at [[Category:Against policy]] and from there it's
a long slog through [[Category:Unknown]] subcategories... all of them
more than 7 days old that is. Which is most of them. You can use
messages from [[User:Pfctdayelise/Translations]] in edit summaries if
you like.
