[edit] Information copied from RobinP's talk page with small edits
CommonsTicker is a system to track images from Commons in each Wikipedia. In this link (Wikipedia Galicia) you can see an active CommonsTicker. There are few images from Commons in mi.wiki but the system can be useful in the future. If you agree I request CommonsTicker in Meta and configure Māori version here. Greetings. --Prevert(talk) 14:29, 6 Pipiri 2006 (UTC)
- This is the page of Duesentrieb tools. "Most of the run on the Toolserver on a live copy of the project databases". The toolserver copy of the english wikipedia is still corrupt and outdated. For that reason, there is not en.wiki CommonsTicker. --Prevert(talk) 21:43, 6 Pipiri 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CommonsTicker: new version, new features
Hello. A new version of CommonsTicker will be rolled out soon (probably tomorrow). Please have an eye on what the bot is doing, and report any problems to m:User_talk:Duesentrieb/CommonsTicker. Some of the changes are:
- the ticker can now post warnings to the talk page of articles that are using "endangered" images. This is not enabled per default, and you can select for which namespaces it is done. If you want this feature, please request it at m:User:Duesentrieb/CommonsTicker#Change_Requests.
- in append mode, there are now three empty template parameters: status, editor, and notic. The ticker does not use them itself, but you can use them in the TickerEntry template, for example to strike through entries that have been fixed. en:wikinews has already been using this for a while now.
- if the ticker fails to post an update, a warning is posted to your and the ticker's talk page. In append mode, the ticker will also re-try to post the update on the next pass. Until now, failed updates where simply ignored.
- edit summaries become a bit more informative.
I hope these changes will help to make CommonsTicker more used and more useful.
On a related note: you may have noticed that on long pages, entries near the bottom of the page are sometimes not expanded but rendered just as {{TickerEntry}} or similar. This is due to a new limit to template expansion - see bugzilla:7005. To avoid it, try to keep the page short and/or try to simplify the TickerEntry template.
