The code for mw.FlickrChecker.js suggests that it supports links to user favorite pages, but testing this in the UploadWizard times out.
As an example, this item https://www.flickr.com/photos/britishlibrary/50563227766/ is marked "no known copyright restrictions" and if pasted into UploadWizard is successfully recognized. It is on about twenty favourite lists; pasting any of these into UploadWizard fails, coming up with a spinning icon for an indefinite period.

Looking into this a bit more, it seems to be down to a bug on line 79 of mw.FlickrChecker.js. This currently has:
userFavoritesMatches = flickrInputUrl.match( /flickr\.com\/(?:x\/t\/[^/]+\/)?photos\/([^/]+)\/favorites/ );
This seems to expect the URL to be of the form flickr.com/USER/photos/.../favorites. However, favorites URLs are currently of the form flickr.com/photos/USER/favorites (with an optional /pageX suffix). USER can be a 'display' username or an internal 12345678@N00 type one.
Updating the regexp should hopefully allow it to match again.
