UploadWizard indiscriminately links to "/deed.$languageCode" versions of CC licenses when those versions may not exist
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

What happens?:

  • You arrive at a 404 Not Found page on CreativeCommons.org

What should have happened instead?:

  • Either Creative Commons should add redirects for deed.*** URLs (that would be an Upstream issue), or
  • We should maintain a list of translations CC licenses have, and only link them in case a translation exists (link to a fallback language or en if a translation doesn't exist).

Software version (skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):
