Template:ShadowsCommons

A different file is available on the Wikimedia Commons with the same name, Template:ShadowsCommons.

You can help fix this in one of the following ways:

• Rename the file locally using {{rename media}}.
  Due to T30299, if the Commons file is renamed, it will override the local file.
• Copy to Wikimedia Commons if it is a freely licensed or public domain media. See Moving files to Commons for more information.
• If the Commons file is substantially similar and of lower quality than the local file, you may want to overwrite the Commons file with the local one.
• Nominate the Commons file for deletion if it doesn't meet their copyright or inclusion criteria.
• Nominate the file for deletion if it is not usable or for example it is the same resolution or of lower-quality than the one on Commons.

__EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__

Usage

This template is inserted on a file description page when the following conditions all meet:

1. There is a file with the same name on Wikimedia Commons
2. The contents of the local file and the Commons file are different
3. It is desirable to resolve this naming conflict (i.e. the conflict is not one of the deliberate exceptions)

If the first condition meets but not the second, consider using {{Keep local}} or {{Now Commons}}, whichever is appropriate.

This template categorises tagged files into Category:Wikipedia files that shadow a file on Wikimedia Commons. This template is a self-reference.

If the file should be kept locally (i.e. not moved to Commons) or deleted, set |keeplocal=yes. You can optionally provide a reason to keep the file locally using |reason=.

Once the conflict is resolved, this template must either be removed from the file description page, or replaced with {{Keep local}}, whichever is appropriate.
