Hogging everything here
I recognize I’ve handled almost every request to this page instantly recently. If anyone is annoyed by that feel free to let me know. Snowmanonahoe (talk) 03:47, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- Snowmanonahoe: No problem—I have the same problem at PAM. Can you find time to take a look at the Drambuie upload request on the project page here? I'm not as familiar with the protocol for passing a request at this noticeboard as I'd like. The uploader has been waiting over 90 days, so if we can help out, I'd like to do so, and get the pic updated. Regards & Thanks, GenQuest "scribble" 20:06, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- @GenQuest: I'm going to leave that request to someone else, or maybe you can weight in on this—I'm not sure whether the new image breaks the no free replacement criterion because there's currently a free image on the page. Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 01:36, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
- Hello, Snowmanonahoe. I replied to you regarding another matter recently, then happened to see your familiar name here. I would be glad to help you with the files for upload screening. OTOH, I am not offended by your diligence, and especially your phrasing re "hogging". (I am fond of porcine critters as you might surmise.) If you want me to help out, to share the burden, I would be glad to do so. Just let me know by ping here or a note on my talk page. Thank you.--FeralOink (talk) 14:43, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Confusing instructions for IP who wants to upload free image
I'm an admin but after seeing a post at Wikipedia:Help desk#Uploading images without an account. I tried logging out and imagine I wanted a free image uploaded at Wikipedia:Files for upload. First click "Make a new request". The instructions now include "Files for Upload was created to allow unregistered users or registered users who aren't autoconfirmed to add new files to Wikipedia". Then click "The image is free and I'm not autoconfirmed". The instructions now include "As you have a Wikipedia account you can login to the Wikimedia Commons even if you're not autoconfirmed." But I don't have an account in this scenario and cannot log in to Commons. Am I missing something? PrimeHunter (talk) 01:38, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
- @PrimeHunter: A fix is in the works. Thanks for letting us know :). -- LemonSlushie 🍋 (talk) (edits) 08:13, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
- For now, I've redirected both 'non-autoconfirmed' buttons to the search page for the wizard. I have a replacement in work in my sandbox but there are currently some issues loading text properly when logged out, on both mobile and New Vector. -- LemonSlushie 🍋 (talk) (edits) 01:24, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
