CommonsHelper Helper (CH²) is a user script which expedites the process of moving free images over to the Wikimedia Commons using Magnus Manske's excellent tool CommonsHelper. When installed, this script adds a "Move image to the Commons" button to image edit pages, which brings up CommonsHelper in an inline frame and automatically tags the image with {{NowCommons}} when complete.
Installation[edit | edit source]
To install, add the following to your user script page (most likely Special:Mypage/monobook.js):
// [[User:Krimpet/CH2.js]] document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="' + 'http://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=User:Krimpet/CH2.js' + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></script>');
Save the page and clear your browser's cache.
