Template editor's help wanted

Hi Jeff, you are my favorite experienced template editor ;). I stumbled accidentally upon File talk:Recueil des plus illustres proverbes divises en trois livres 1657-1663 (5799532).jpg and tried to fix according to that the file page File:Recueil des plus illustres proverbes divises en trois livres 1657-1663 (5799532).jpg. Afterwards I noticed that thousands of file pages are affected. Therefore extending the template {{Polona}} is better than fixing the file pages. The GLAM uploader used the parameter url= which is unknown to the template and thus the links don't work. I think the simplest way were <pseudocode→ if there is url= take that link else let it run the way it was before>. May be you have a better idea, the template has 2 parameters and there is no doc.

@Achim55: Please see these edits. Docs umm later IFF I have some time for them.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 04:01, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Jeff, many thanks! I transferred your solution to /de and /fr. Maybe the 2nd parameter (missing on /de) had been an earlier attempt to fix that. Have a nice day! Achim55 (talk) 07:56, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Fire scoops or Fire shovels

Hello Jeff, I have a very specific question about the correct word in English and imo you will be able to answer this. Thank you so much for your time. Lotje (talk) 07:04, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

Bull-doser

Hello Jeff G.,

As you have had some encounters with Bull-doser in the past, I just wanted to inform you that he is blocked indefinitly from FRWiki since last friday. He probably won't be able to get unblocked as he doesn't seems to understand what was the problem that got him blocked. Also, it is now known that he has been harassing the people he takes the pictures of. He was even kicked from an event by security because of his behavior.

@Yann: With regard to Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems/Archive 97#Bull-Doser, is that enough?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 00:28, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Old painting of Townsend Harris

Hello Jeff G. There's a photo of an old painting of Townsend Harris on Flickr. It says copyright, but the painting is from 1855 by James Bogle. Can it be used on wiki commons? -Artanisen (talk) 22:31, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

@Artanisen: Yes, please use "{{PD-Art|PD-US-expired|country=US|deathyear=1873}}".   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 07:09, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

File:SM City Sorsogon.jpg

Hi Jeff G. Aren’t Google Maps images like File:SM City Sorsogon.jpg generally considered protected by copyright? Does Google Maps generate its own original images or does it get images from somewhere else? — Marchjuly (talk) 04:16, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
