:Agreed that COPYVIO is often poorly understood by even many experienced users and admins, and you are right that this page is not designed to cover every eventuality. The licencing system is a minefield - only yesterday I found a clear 'own work' graphic of mine tagged for deletion at Commons. However, this system is so new (only hours old) that it would be a presumption to suggest it needs changes already. I would wait until it has been in operation for a while and let the affected page creators speak for themselves. If they suggest the page has not been very helpful, then it can be improved.

::I agree that it does not "need" changes—very little onwiki "needs" to be fixed. Copyright issues do in fact need to be fixed, so I believe we should proactively prevent them. With all due respect, I politely disagree that we need to wait for feedback: we improve pages without prompting from the intended audience all the time. [[Wikipedia:The perfect article|The perfect article]] does not exist; look at the second sentence in [[Wikipedia:Editing policy]]. This page always can, and should, be improved.<span id="HouseBlaster:1667929429546:Help_talkFTTCLNUnreviewed_new_page" class="FTTCmt"> [[User:HouseBlaster|House]][[Special:Contributions/HouseBlaster|Blaster]]<sup>[[User talk:HouseBlaster|talk]]</sup> 17:43, 8 November 2022 (UTC)</span>
:::I agree that it would be better to link to a new simple-language help page on image reuse and general copyrights. But until we have such a place, I think this should be left as it. The major point here is telling them to write in their own words. Saying {{tq|(some material may be in the public ___domain or compatibly licensed for reuse in Wikipedia)}} is just to note that there are some exceptions, but this is not the right help page to explain that in more detail.
