Hi, for some reason the record for [[:File:Mark Donaldson VC 19-01-2009 fair use claimed.jpg]] isn't showing that it's being used in the [[Mark Donaldson]] article, for which it has a very detailed fair use claim, and keeps being tagged for deletion by this bot. Do you know why this is happening? If it's a wider problem it may be best to turn the bot off until it's fixed.

Read this first Sometimes MediaWiki will report an image not being used when it really is (often in the case of page blanking vandalism), and the bot will tag it in error. If this happens, revert the bot's edit to the image, and make a null edit to the article containing the image (click edit, then save without making any changes). If you do nothing the bot will remove the deletion template in a few days automatically. |
