--- Comment #23 from Dereckson <[email protected]> --- Status update: On [[Commons:Commons:Requests for comment/Allow transferring files from other Wikimedia Wikis server side]], we have an unanimous consensus. (In reply to Faidon Liambotis from comment #15) > No, an upload-by-url proxy is the wrong day to do it. If we want to copy > files within the upload.wm.org realm, then we should use efficient > server-side copies (e.g. Swift's X-Copy-From header), not go through the > application servers and upload-by-URL proxies. > > Moreover, copying files internally seems wrong to me in general.

Actually, we already do that with manual bots and tools to transfer media from local Wikimedia to Commons when they have been cleared as freely licensed or in public domain. So I offer to enable it as it won't create more copy than we currently have, and then open a new bug to work on a better solution. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
