NonFreeImageResizer on iswiki?
[edit]Hi, I am wondering if you are willing to run DatBot's NonFreeImageResizer task on is.wikipedia, with one change. Instead of adding "Template:Orphaned non-free revisions" after donwnscaling, it would add "Template:Non-free reduced", like was the case on enwiki prior to 2014. I would add the botflag myself. Are you up for this? Snævar (talk) 10:21, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hiya, is there community consensus for this? And if so, could you link it? DatGuyTalkContribs 20:16, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, the consensus is at is:Wikipedia:Potturinn#Skölun mynda. This is at the local village pump. It is also based on rule 2c of the local non-free content policy. Both links are to pages in Icelandic, the local language. I also did around 20 downscales myself, without any complaints. So you can judge the participation better, I should say there are 153 active users on the wiki. Snævar (talk) 23:16, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Snævar: sorry for the late reply. Aside from the template name, are there any other changes to the functionality that are required? DatGuyTalkContribs 15:12, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news
- Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
- An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
- An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.
Miscellaneous
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2025 to reduce the backlog of articles in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!
