TimedText: Sit-in Against Racial Injustice, Downtown Indianapolis (2020-06-06).webm.*.srt

[edit]

Koavf created 201 subtitles all containing identical content, the name Breonna Taylor thrice. No actual translation to other languages or transcription to non‑Latin scripts has been performed. (Well, the Spanish version uses ¡!, which is negligible.)

To preserve the revision history I have moved the “English” subtitles, the first language version from the entire set, to the multiple languages code now; presumably Koavf was not aware of this option. Since the {{closed captions}} template assigns bogus categories, creating the false impression any real translation was performed, I propose their deletion without redirect.

The pages nominated for deletion are, except the .mul. version, that cannot be omitted from the list (unless you really want to waste 19195 bytes to have it spelled out):

Also, is there a bot flagging the files? The mass deletion request guide does not mention any, but I’ll go insane manually adding {{delete}} to all 201 of them. ‑‑ Kays (T | C) 04:20, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kai Burghardt: Couldn't you just redirect them all to TimedText:Sit-in_Against_Racial_Injustice,_Downtown_Indianapolis_(2020-06-06).webm.mul.srt instead? Duckmather (talk) 23:54, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Duckmather: No,
  • as I wrote, a redirect will still categorize the file as having closed captions “in German” (etc.), which is kind of misleading,
  • with redirects installed you can still choose from 201 subtitle tracks in the media player, which by the way causes a fetch/list-delay that might last as long as the video clip itself, and
  • redirects create n ∶ 1 relationships en → mul, de → mul, etc., but in fact the actual semantics of the mul code are 1 ∶ n mul → en, mul → de, and so on as far as applicable – the other way round.
