Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Charles-Antoine Cambon - Set design for the première of Rossini's Robert Bruce, Act III, Scene 3.jpg

Well, it LOOKS like it's transcluded on the page, but it's not showing up. What have I done? Adam Cuerden (talk) 14:00, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Serves me right for tablet editing. Ah, well. I'll let it run, but I suspect I'll need to renom. Adam Cuerden (talk) 07:37, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

New template based on Template:FPpromotedUploader for the creator, but not uploader.

Would there be any objections of creating a new template based on Template:FPpromotedUploader for a creator who is not the uploader. I am getting currently FP credit for pictures that I imported from Flickr, but the creator is actually a commons user, but has only little time in dealing with uploads here himself. I feel he should see some credit for that. Agathoclea (talk) 17:51, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

@Agathoclea: Your message probably refers to 1, 2 and 3. As I can see from File:Macracantha arcuata - Curved Spiny Spider (8550192839) by Rushen.jpg, the file was created by Rushen on Flickr, and not by Rushenb on Commons. Both you (as uploader) and Ivar (as nominator) have been notified on your TPs. But our bots cannot send notifications to Flickr, or any other website. Rushenb properly receives the notifications related to the files uploaded on this project. To encourage Flickr users to spend more time here instead of there, you can copy & paste your notifications on their talk pages, so they will read them and understand -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:17, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

They are the same person, and yes I fully understand that a bot would never be able to make that connection. My first instinct was was to just copy the notifications over, but the wording is just a little off, which led me to come here. My idea was to create a template Template:FPpromotedCreator which could manually be deployed in such a case where the connection between a flickr and commons account is known. Agathoclea (talk) 06:24, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Intricate case for sure. But why Rushenb of Commons should be notified, while the creator is Rushen of Flickr? Same person maybe, but in those cases Rushenb of Commons did not upload / describe / categorize for us. They are your rewards, in my opinion (share your satisfaction if you feel inclined to do so). Uploaders of "new versions" do not get notifications either. And I don't think it's necessary to create so special templates for such rare cases, personally -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:04, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

@Agathoclea:, I've copied the 'FP promoted' notifications to Rushenb's talk page so that he can has the credit if he wants it. I'd just do the same for any future FPs by him if i were you. Cmao20 (talk) 00:54, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
