Dear Wikimedia Community, We are excited to announce the release of Wikifile-transfer v2, an enhanced tool to streamline media transfers across Wikimedia projects. Wikifile-transfer supports users in moving non-free images across wiki projects, making it easier to specify a source URL, target project, language, and filename. This tool is helpful for contributors managing media across multiple language wikis.
