Forum:Animated files and Instantcommons

(Initial query copied from my talk page - Robin Patterson 05:25, February 15, 2011 (UTC))

I am attempting to upload an animated file for the illustration of the article Yugoslavia which was copied from en:wikipedia. The image is Breakup of Yugoslavia.gif. However, I was able to get only the first image of a series of successive images.

From wiki commons I get the following information

Page url

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Breakup_of_Yugoslavia.gif

File url

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/85/Breakup_of_Yugoslavia.gif

but I still cannot find I way to load them into Familypedia.

There is also a possibility of linking Familypedia to Instantcommons. The procedure is indicated in http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgUseInstantCommons and would theoretically enable Familypedia to access directly the images from Wikicommons, without uploading all of them, as I am trying to do. However I think that an administrator should decide if this is acceptable or not for Familypedia. I would kindly ask you to help me upload the indicated file and also to decide if direct links to Wikicommons are acceptable. Sincerely Andrei FilottiAfil 05:15, February 15, 2011 (UTC)
