Extra variables
edit{{edit protected}} CommonsDelinker has new variables. See m:User:CommonsDelinker#Replacements. Please change the page accordingly. Bryan 21:50, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- Could you be more specific? I don't have a clue what you're talking about, but maybe somebody else will. - auburnpilot talk 17:18, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not comfortable with adding the new $3 and $4 because, looking at their description, they are not always available. Unless the bot knows how to suppress wording other than the deletion / replacement variables, we would end up with edit summaries like "Replacing Image:File1.png with Image:File2.png (deleted by because )." which isn't pretty.

Shortening the summary to allow a longer reflection of the deletion reason
edit{{editprotected}}
Hello, please change the text of this page to: "Replacing $1 with [[File:$2]] (by [[commons:User:$3|$3]] because: $4).". This has the following reasons:
- The first file mentioned in the summary usually gets deleted as a duplicate, and the link to it turns red, which makes it useless to click on it (example)
- While the most reasons are usually short ("Incorrectly named" or "exact, or scaled-down duplicate"), they sometimes need to be longer (for example linking to a page that explains the renaming of a file). The change would only give 11 characters more, but they're necessary sometimes, for example when linking and the summary isn't long enough, then something like
[[commons:Linked page|The link titappears as reason, which isn't good. - Minor thing only, but the image namespace furthermore is no longer called "image", but "file".
- Thank you. --The Evil IP address (talk) 14:13, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
Done *Hi Evil IP, I've completed your request, partially. I see no issue with removing the first link and appreciate its redundancy. User:RockMFR completed the third part of your request yesterday. Maedin\talk 17:12, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
