Commons:Upload Wizard/Flickr

The Upload Wizard can upload files directly from Flickr.

This feature was deployed on Wikimedia Commons in December 2012. It was originally accessible to administrators and image-reviewers, then to extended uploaders in 2017. Since February 2019, it is accessible to autopatrolled users.
