Revision as of 23:09, 11 December 2011
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. To see the backlog time, check the help page.
- If you are not registered, then edit the page and add {{rotate}} per the documentation.
- See also: Commons:Rotation
- 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 the bot there (see above).
- If you don't have any of those abilities, then you can add
,{{Cleanup image|rotate 90 degrees clockwise}}, or{{Cleanup image|rotate 90 degrees anticlockwise}}to the top of the file description page. You can also place a request on the Help Desk.{{Cleanup image|rotate 180 degrees}}
