Hi Bryan,
With the pending toolserver shutdown, I was thinking about retiring Flickr
Upload Bot. However, this bot is apparently still used
about 2000-4000
times per month.
I was under the impression that the upload wizard would replace this bot,
however, I couldn't find any references to this. Does anybody know what the
status of uploading from Flickr using the upload wizard is?
I penned <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Upload_Wizard/Flickr
some time ago. It’s scarce and probably not up
to date but the essential
information is here : UploadWizard for Flickr is reserved to sysops and
image reviewers at the moment.
This would explain why your (awesome) bot is used.
Hope that helps,
