'''Wikimedia Commons''' is a major part or 'Project' of the {{tag|Wikimedia Foundation}} (WMF). More commonly known as | '''Wikimedia Commons''' is a major part or 'Project' of the {{tag|Wikimedia Foundation}} (WMF). More commonly known as merely '''Commons''', it is a [[wiki]] of an online depository {{tag|database}} of over 19 million freely usable {{tag|media}} files to which anyone can contribute. The files, which include {{tag|images}}, {{tag|video}}s and {{tag|audio}}; are primarilly 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). Other individual language editions of Wikipedia have their own differing standards for fair use — e.g. [[Español Wikipedia]] will not allow fair use media. | ||
The [[mw:InstantCommons|InstantCommons]] extension for [[MediaWiki.org|MediaWiki]] will allow non-[[Wikimedia Foundation]] sites to use Commons media on their own wiki. | |||
