Commons is adding a background to PNG

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T198370

I uploaded File:Povray logo sphere.png. It has an alpha channel and no visible background. When I view the image in [1] there is an added white background behind the image. How can I fix this? Thanks. SharkD Talk 00:52, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

There's nothing you can do about this, unfortunately. It's a new bug: phab:T198370. --El Grafo (talk) 08:02, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

SVG map needed

File File:Baltic-pipe-mapa-pogladowa.png showing graphics from https://www.baltic-pipe.eu/pl/o-projekcie/ was recently deleted due to copyrights of the underlying map. Can someone recreate the map using existing SGV maps like File:Regenbogen location map.svg + File:Poland location map.svg? A language independent version could be used by multiple articles in d:Q4852713. --Jarekt (talk) 17:44, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

SVG Translate tool revival and improvements

Hello! As requested in the Community wishlist survey, the SVG Translate tool is being revived and improved by the Community Tech team. I am the product manager for the project and am looking for input from people who work with SVGs on Commons/other projects and have experience with them. I have put together the project page for this project and I have some open questions on the talk page. I'd appreciate if you could take a few minutes to comment on them and point out anything I have missed. Thank you. -- NKohli (WMF) (talk) 17:57, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
