User:This, that and the other/For the Common Good

FtCG includes several features:

• Easy traversal of Category:Copy to Wikimedia Commons, Category:Copy to Wikimedia Commons (bot-assessed), Category:Move to Commons Priority Candidates, or any other category (FtCG is not limited to category traversal: you can also enter file names manually)
• Integrated display of all elements on the file page (wikitext, file metadata, file links, previous versions, EXIF metadata)
• Automatic provision of a partially-filled {{Information}} template if not already present, or amelioration of the existing one if present
• A number of magic transformations to generate the Commons file description page:
  • For example, on English Wikipedia, "self" license templates are converted to the equivalent "user" templates, and there is plenty more magic
  • FtCG allows you to customize the transformations for each wiki using local wiki data
• Ability to rename file when transferring
• Ability to select one or more old versions of an image and transfer them separately
• Automatic tagging with {{now Commons}} (or deletion, for admins) of the local image after transfer
• Ability to keep a log of transfers if desired (very handy for Move to Commons drives)
• A built-in categorisation system, similar to HotCat

Be aware that FtCG doesn't do all your work for you. Normally, you will still need to clean up the file page wikitext a little bit before clicking the "Transfer" button.

You can download the latest version of FtCG at https://atlight.github.io. The most recent version is listed on that site. (You can check the version of your copy by clicking the "Settings..." button.)

A note on operating system compatibility: FtCG works on Windows and Linux, and most likely on Mac OS too.

• Windows users can run FtCG directly. No installation is required, so long as your PC has the .NET Framework 4.6.1 (already installed on almost all Windows computers).
• Tech-savvy Mac OS and Linux users can run this application using Mono and/or Wine^[1], with only very minor loss of functionality compared to Windows^[2].

For those who are interested, source code (in C#) is available on GitHub.

I would appreciate any feedback, bugs, or suggested improvements, especially regarding the deletion of files after transfer (not being an admin, I can't really test this feature).

• For the Common Good is available in a few languages.
• You can download "local wiki data" files, which allow FtCG to adapt to a particular wiki. See also the list of local wiki data files.
• You can even use FtCG to perform reverse transfers from Commons back to local wikis, or from one local wiki to another.
