The files, which include {{tag|images}}, {{tag|video}}s and {{tag|audio}}; are for use by the various Wikimedia projects, such as [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]]. And whilst the [[English Wikipedia]] will accept 'fair use' images, the Wikimedia Commons will not; all must be completely free to use (either public domain, or an unrestricted copyleft license). Individual language editions of Wikipedia have their own standards for fair use—e.g. [[Español Wikipedia]] will not allow fair use media. | ||
[[Wikitravel]] has a similar free media repository with [[Wikitravel Shared]]. | |||
The [[mw:InstantCommons|InstantCommons]] extension for [[MediaWiki]] will allow non-[[Wikimedia Foundation]] sites to use Commons media. | |||
