Category:Move To Commons

This category contains images and other media files which an editor has considered may be appropriate to be moved to the Wikimedia Commons by tagging the page with Trans-commons.

In some instances, media files should not be moved to Commons even where they are available under a free licence. It is important to ensure that uploads to Commons are within the project scope and have an acceptable licence. See Commons:Licensing for details.

The contents of this category should be periodically reviewed by experienced editors familiar with Commons policies. Files which shouldn't be moved should have the Trans-commons template removed and an explanation of why it should be kept locally added to the talk page. It may also be helpful to explain the reasoning to the user who suggested it should be transferred.

For files which it is determined can be moved to Commons, the best way is to use the Move-to-commons assistant to ensure the image description page created meets the requirements. Try to use the same name for the upload to Commons unless the name is not descriptive enough.
