Licensing update
This page is to coordinate and keep track of which Wikimedia projects have completed the transition on their GFDL 1.2-only files. The objective is to encourage uploaders to switch to GFDL 1.3/CC-BY-SA 3.0 (or both).
The following table illustrates whether any discussions or action plans are underway to deal with any GFDL 1.2-only files.
Projects | Status | Notes |

Arabic Wikipedia | Not OK | Template states GFDL 1.2-only. |
Chinese Wikipedia | OK | All GFDL files are available under 1.2 or "any later version", license migration in progress. (see template) |
English Wikipedia | OK | Files under GFDL 1.2-only are deprecated since April 14, 2009. |
German Wikipedia | OK | Files under GFDL 1.2-only are disallowed since December 9, 2008. (see poll) |
