Steps to Reproduce: Go to the Commons Upload Wizard, begin uploading a file, select "not my own work" > "the copyright has definitely expired in the USA" Actual Results: 1925 Expected Results: 1926 Description and proposed solution: It [[ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Upload_Wizard_feedback#Works_published_in_1925 | appears ]] that the Commons Upload Wizard is not updating the year in which works enter the public domain automatically. The hardcoded "1925" should be replaced with "{{#time:Y|-95 years}}", which will update it to 1926 (the current correct year) and get it automatically updating in future years.

Every year on new year, new items enter the public domain under U.S. law. When this happens, the Upload Wizard must be updated to indicate that items a year later may now be uploaded. (Go to the "release rights" step of the wizard, choose, "this is not my own work" > "The copyright has definitely expired in the USA" and note the dates.) This update currently happens manually through tasks like T326045, which results in a delay and additional work. The update should be automated by setting up [[ https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/extensions/UploadWizard/+/cd73c05443326e786a8267e0d8ae3d71efb58da6/i18n/en.json#339 | mwe-upwiz-license-pd-old-70-1923 ]] and [[ https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/extensions/UploadWizard/+/cd73c05443326e786a8267e0d8ae3d71efb58da6/i18n/en.json#309 | mwe-upwiz-license-pd-us ]] to use the full-protected {{[[ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Not-PD-US-expired-min-year | Not-PD-US-expired-min-year ]]}} or {{[[ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:PD-US-expired-max-year | PD-US-expired-max-year ]]}}, or directly through the formula {{#time:Y|-95 years}}.
