Notes

This is a modified version of Covery by Evad37 that adds the ability to generate different FUR/Licensing info for the uploaded image as well as an upload-only option for pages without infoboxes (or other issues).

Usage

edit

When viewing articles, a new toolbox menu item is added: "Upload cover (Custom)". Click this link to open a dialogue window, where you can select a file – a preview of the image will be shown. Fill out the rest of the form (including a valid file name that is not already in use on Wikipedia or Commons), then click the upload button.

The script will then:

  • Resize the file, if the resolution is more than 100000 pixels
  • Upload the file
  • Create a talk page for the file with the project banner
  • Add the image to the article's infobox (along with caption and alt text if they were specified)
  • Edit the article talk page to remove the |cover= parameter from the project banner (if it is present)

When finished, the article will be reloaded.

Alternatively, another new menu item is added: "Covery (Custom) - Upload only". This will ignore checking for infoboxes and allow you to upload an image without adding it to the page or removing the cover tag.
