Please help verify the authorization license of the video files uploaded from the bilibili.com website.

Unlike YouTube and Flickr, bilibili.com does not have a Creative Commons license setting, so users need to manually mark similar licenses. A bilibili.com user contacted me and asked me to help him upload some video files to WikiCommons under CC-BY-4.0 license. The files are listed below, and I hope someone can check the license.

@Fumikas Sagisavas: Where on bilibili.com can we verify that this person has granted this license for these files? - Jmabel ! talk 22:31, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
For example, this video file is File:Freshippo torch meat skewers.webm, and the original video file is marked "本视频按照署名 4.0 协议国际版进行授权（CC-BY-4.0）" in the summary. Fumikas Sagisavas (talk) 22:40, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

How do I use autowikibrowser?

I want to start using AWB since I upload large amounts of files and want to make mass edits to them. How can I use it? I know it has a permission requirement, so how hard is it to get it? Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 10:44, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

@Immanuelle: See Commons:AutoWikiBrowser —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 10:47, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
Hi, Did you try Visual File Change? Yann (talk) 10:47, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
@Yann thank you that works great Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 11:22, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
Let me also endorse VFC. I use it pretty heavily; I've used AWB now and then, but have found VFC generally easier for most purposes. - Jmabel ! talk 22:27, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
@Jmabel how do I make it appear and where should it be appearing? I started it but I cannot find it and I think I either didn't clear my cache or didn't properly activate it. Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 12:28, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
@Immanuelle: It should appear as "Perform batch task" with the rest of your tools. See Help:VisualFileChange.js#Step 0: How to Install, including the "If you do not have the autopatrolled right: add" bit.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 14:48, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
@Jeff G. that was it. I was confused since I thought autopatrolled was something you got automatically. Thank you. Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 16:49, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
@Immanuelle: Right, you got autoconfirmed automatically four days after you registered December 5, 2021 at 22:44:14 (UTC). You're welcome.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 13:55, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

Native American fishing rights

We don't seem to have a category for Native American fishing rights (nor hunting rights, but offhand I don't have any content for that). I'm not sure how to bes get that into our category hierarchy: it's a matter of tribal treaty rights, not civil rights. We have at least File:Helix, v.4, no.5, Aug. 29, 1968 - DPLA - 841a1a68f4295fee3a912baf0c87caaa (page 9).jpg, File:Helix, v.4, no.6, Aug. 29, 1968 - DPLA - 73a8fb15a58855b090d500dba021b984 (page 4).jpg, File:Helix, v.4, no.7, Sep. 12, 1968 - DPLA - feeee1d59fc70ba359e15965679dafbf (page 6).jpg, and Category:Billy Frank Jr. that would belong there. I suspect there are a fair number of other files and possibly categories. - Jmabel ! talk 02:57, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Question (in English) about categories in Chinese

Please see Commons:Village_pump/zh#Commons:Report_Special:UncategorizedCategories_in_zh.

I posted it there due to the (assumed) language of the categories, but it's unclear if that Village pump is actually read.

looks like a perennial problem for chinese books.
you can dump this code on all of them whenever such categories appear in future.
{{Category for book|zh}}
[[Category:Chinese-language books by title]] RZuo (talk) 16:54, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Thanks. Will do. Ideally the categories (and files) would have {{Book}} or at least an infobox.

adding wdib without knowledge of the books only adds to maintenance backlog unnecessarily.--RZuo (talk) 23:29, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Need to modify a photograph in the articles

Hello Wikimedia Commons, I just made a post that includes sources showing a detail of the difference between two species. Through this post it is possible to see that the butterfly in this photo is Bhutanitis ludlowi and not the liderdalii whose articles contain it (and it is on several pages). Mário NET (talk) 04:06, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

You can edit the category on File:Dead_Bhutan_Glory_in_Eaglenest_Wildlife_Sanctuary.JPG.
Then update d:Q1768041 (which will likely solve it for several Wikipedia articles).

Thank you. I changed the category of the specimen, its common name and the scientific name was added to the image. I don't know how to change the Wikidata numbering. Mário NET (talk) 13:01, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
@Mário NET: you don't change the Wikidata numbering. On Wikidata, you change the (typically one) image associated with each affected item. - Jmabel ! talk 14:17, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
