License doesn't show

I uploaded File:Gothic how to evade the orc between the bridge and the citadel.png and File:Gothic how to evade the orc before the citadel.png and I selected the public domain option in Special:UploadWizard, but it doesn't show on the file page? Lite Grooves (talk) 20:39, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

UploadWizard is kinda broken since it's built for Wikipedia and we don't use it the same way. It's on my to-do list to clean up. -- Prod (talk) 04:48, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
Prod I think it works now. Lite Grooves (talk) 18:11, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
Prod Template:Self/Documentation says "Note that this is NOT a requirement for it to be licensed this way, nor does it imply that content can be licensed under a different license." but is this still correct? I uploaded my guide image as CC0, I don't see why that wouldn't be allowed. Lite Grooves (talk) 12:51, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
It probably needs to be clarified a bit. All text contributions have to be CC-BY-SA. All file uploads are assumed fair-use unless otherwise specified. -- Prod (talk) 16:03, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

How to suggest deletion of an image?

I don't know what's the procedure here. (if there is any other than adding Template:delete)

I want to suggest deleting File:StrategyWiki user.jpg. This image is not from a game, purely decorative and there is no indication it has a free license. (it's probably a stock photo anyway) This isn't fair use, there is no comment on the photo itself.

It was used on StrategyWiki:Guide/Walkthrough, but I replaced it with File:StrategyWiki cat Monkey Island 2 Monkey Wrench puzzle.jpg which does have a free license, see Martha the cat reads up on aquariums. The Monkey Island within the image I photoshopped is fair use, but that's from a game. (and arguably the image also comments on the puzzle, making for a valid claim of fair use) Lite Grooves (talk) 19:01, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

{{delete}} is correct. -- Prod (talk) 19:29, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
Actually, in this case I'd suggest just uploading the file to the existing location. That's a really long filename. -- Prod (talk) 19:44, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
Prod Oh, didn't know that was allowed here. As you wish. Lite Grooves (talk) 20:01, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
