Description of suggested change: On Template:Di-dw no source no license-notice and Template:Di-dw no source-notice can you change deprecated "Image" to "File" like how the original no source and no source no license notices says "File" instead of "Image"? Thanks. TheGreatestLuvofAll (talk) 13:54, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheGreatestLuvofAll:

Not done: Image: is not deprecated, it is a documented alias for File: and works equally well; there are no plans to change that. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 17:32, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All I found was "For backward compatibility with older pages the alias Image: (now deprecated) is still available instead of File: in wikilinks or in the search box, but "image" will now refer to more types of data files than just images." TheGreatestLuvofAll (talk) 18:00, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is deprecated as a prefix at the top of files, but is still avaliable as a link (e.g. Image:Example.svg) TheGreatestLuvofAll (talk) 18:01, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deprecated doesn't mean "you must replace all existing uses of this", it means "you should not use this when writing new code". WP:AINTBROKE applies. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:32, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? I asked can you change it because Template:Di-no source-notice, Template:Di-no license-notice, and Template:Di-no source no license-notice as "File" instead of "Image". I thought that it would look the same is another reason why. TheGreatestLuvofAll (talk) 20:19, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not going to change it, because it will make absolutely no difference - in short, it's a change for the sake of change. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:50, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, okay then. I did not ask again about you changing it, I only asked once, so I don’t know what do you mean by "I'm not going to change it". Most admins here think I waste their time anyway. I’m done.TheGreatestLuvofAll (talk) 22:56, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you genuinely don't understand the simple six-word phrase "I'm not going to change it", I'm certainly not going to waste any more time explaining it. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:44, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request 5 December 2024

This edit request to Template:Di-orphaned non-free use-notice has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Description of suggested change:

The wording of Template:Di-orphaned non-free use-notice probably needs to be changed to reflect the change in name of its parent template Template:Di-orphaned non-free use. The wording "may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use" isn't really correct because Wikipedia's non-free content use policy and the concept of fair use aren't exactly the same as explained in WP:NFC#Background; Wikipedia's policy is actually more restrictive than fair use. So, it seems more appropriate for the template's text to read as follows: "may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use", "may only be used on Wikipedia in accordance with Wikipedia's non-free content use policy" or something similar.
