[edit] Explanation of the move from {{GFDL-self-with-disclaimers}} to {{GFDL-self-en}}

I was asked to provide an explanation.

  • All free images on all wikis will ideally be moved to commons.
  • It would be on the best interest of the common goal of the free encyclopedia (Wikipedia) and free image repository (Commons) for the license templates to have identical naming.
  • Naming of license templates on commons are done with multilingualism in mind. A person editing/reviewing commons may not necessarily know any English. Preferably we avoid giving any language a priority. The -en here is the ISO code for English.
  • "with-disclaimers" is a problem not unique to English wikipedia. There were wikis that copied the en.wikipedia license template with it's emphasis on disclaimers. This can cause a possible problems when images are moved to commons because we have many flavors of the GFDL template.
