Main page about GFDL: User:MGA73/GFDL files
This page contain a list of all wikis linked to d:Q5296. The purpose of this page is to check if GFDL or any know variants are mentioned on MediaWiki:Licenses.
MediaWiki:Licenses creats a dropdown with suggested licenses that is used during an upload of files on a wiki (unless a upload wizard is used).
Given that GFDL is not a good license for media files it should not be suggested as a solo license. If wanted it could be included in combination with cc-by-sa-4.0 for example.
The total number of files uploaded to the wiki is also included to make it more clear if files are uploaded locally or not.
The word "gerrit" means there are no licenses specified and there is a dummy page there to make it possible to upload files anyway (typically only for admins).
The link to Special:FileList is added to make it easy to see the latest files uploaded. That can be handy to judge if files are being uploaded or it is only legacy files that remain.
There are around 850 wikis so the list is split up in different parts:
- #Wikis with GFDL or variants and files (151 wikis)
- #Wikis without GFDL or variants but with files (335 wikis)
- #Wikis with GFDL or variants but without files (24 wikis)
- #Wikis without GFDL or variants and without files (341 wiki)
- You are welcome to edit this list if you have new info.

[edit]Comments from c:Commons:Village_pump/Copyright#GFDL_license_across_wikis:
- Note on ro.wikipedia: listed under Alte licențe libere (other free licenses), with a warning that it is more intended for documents. There is no explicit statement that the licenses in this section are acceptable, but given that the section includes things like Imagine asupra căreia s-a renunțat la drepturile de autor (images were the copyright-holder has given up their rights), it would appear so. - Jmabel ! talk 16:01, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- The situation is not necessarily a lot clearer for ro.wiktionary and ro.wikisource, both of which say simply Licențe libere - Licența GNU pentru o documentație liberă ("Free licenses - GNU license for free (libre) documentation.") There is nothing explicit there about whether the license is acceptable for images or not. - Jmabel ! talk 16:07, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
