Symbol move vote.svg The MediaWiki software now (starting at 5 October 2011) looks at image metadata such as EXIF and automatically rotates the image when it is uploaded. At the bottom of the file page there is a Metadata section—click on "Show extended details" to see the orientation.

The file may be stored on Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. If the text below the image is "This is a file from the Wikimedia Commons", then it is on Commons.

  • If the file is on Commons, then click on "description page there" to directly open the image on Commons.
    • If you are registered, then (log in) use the Request rotation link directly below the image. Then a bot will correct the orientation automatically.
    • If you are not registered, then edit the page and add {{rotate}} per the documentation.
  • If the file is on Wikipedia, then
    • the file will need to be downloaded, fixed using editing software and reuploaded.
    • the file could be moved to Commons (if it is allowed there - e.g. fair use images are not) and rotated by bot (see above) there.
    • If you don't have any of those abilities, then you can add {{Cleanup image|rotate 90 degrees clockwise}} {{Cleanup image|rotate 90 degrees anticlockwise}} or {{Cleanup image|rotate 180 degrees}} to the top of the file description page. You can also place a request on the Help Desk.
