High street thumb nail.

Hello there. Just a quick note about your thumbnail of Ashford high street. I have lived here my whole life and thought you would like to know that this picture is of an area known as middle row. It runs adjacent to the high street.

Wiki Loves Africa

In English (lire en français plus bas)

Thank you for your contribution to Wiki Loves Africa 2017

The project is a celebration of the visual diversity of Africa on Wikipedia and its sister projects. There are several fun ways you can help us to make the impact of Wiki Loves Africa stronger:

• Add more categories to your images so that people will find them to use them in articles ... you can see how to do this here: Quick Guide to Categories on Commons
• Add your image to a relevant Wikipedia article, i.e. if your image shows a tailor sewing, then add the image to an article on Sewing or Tailors - this allows readers to see different global perspectives of a universal subject. You can see how to do this here: How to insert images into Wikipedia using WikiText
• Improve the images description to make them easier to understand and reuse.
• If there is no article that reflects the subject of your images, then start an article about that subject. If you are a new editor, you can see how to do that here: Creating your first article
• Add more images - you can add more images or media that reflect interesting and encyclopedic subjects in your immediate community.
• Become involved in (or start) your local Wikimedia community groups - it is a lot of fun, and is important! Find the existing groups here: Wikimedia groups across Africa

We look forward to seeing your contributions!!

Warmest,

Anthere for the Wiki Loves Africa Team

I have no idea how this works with talk/questions etc. but so far I don't understand the communication. Can you tell me why you deleted a perfectly good photo in two places?

Picture of my house in Askov

I see the picture of my house published by you without my permission and I want it to be removed as soon is possible from the historical homes of Minnesota. My house is private and shouldn not be there any more. Thanks Raquel D

Cyclamen from Adélaïde Verneuil de Marval deleted

Hi, You had the file "Cyclamen" by Adélaïde Verneuil de Marval deleted in December 2017. My question is: I took the picture myself since I am the owner of this work, which hangs in my house. The painter also named me as one of her heirs in her testament. I wanted to have this picture in wikipedia because this artist remained quite unknown, in the shadow of her husband Maurice Pillard Verneuil. And since she had no children and no descendants - her only sister died in the 1940th - the only mean to show her work is probably through the internet. Why I am not allowed to publish this picture is not clear for me since as said: 1. It is in my possession, it was as many other pictures given to me by the artist herself 2. I was one of her heirs (still have the documents) 3. A. Verneuil de Marval never had children and left no descendants, so no one who will remember her 70 years after her death... Thanks in advance for your answer Bemafra1 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bemafra1 (talk • contribs) 05:40, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Frage zu Dateiweiterleitung beim Verschieben

Hallo Steinsplitter, seit kurzem darf ich Dateien verschieben. Oft sind diese noch nicht in Nutzung und dann scheint mir eine Weiterleitung nicht erforderlich. Üblicherweis verwende ich {{speedy|error in name}}, und dann müssen andere die Arbeit machen und aufräumen. Natürlich müssten Verweise auf genutzte Dateien in der entsprechenden Seite umbenannt werden. Kann ich Weiterleitung auf ungenutzte Namen vermeiden (wie ?). Und ist "convert to DR" hilfreicher oder ggf. exakter als die genannte Vorlage? Danke, viele Grüße Wilhelm Zimmerling PAR (talk) 23:48, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

SteinsplitterBot - dates 188-

Hallo Steinplitter, zufällig bin ich auf die folgende Änderung deines Bots gestoßen: [1]. Soweit ich das sehe ist hier der Bindestrich teil des ungefähren Datums. Deshalb finde ich eine Anpassung dieser Art angebrachter: [2] Insgesamt glaube ich dass das ganze ziemlich speziell ist und soweit ich diese finden konnte habe ich alle anderen derartigen Änderungen deines Bots korrigiert. Grüße, --Schlurcher (talk) 06:28, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

Hallo & Danke, Bist du sicher? s schreibt das Jahre, und circa könnte auch kurz davor sein. Der strick ist nicht übriggebliebener junk? Ich werde es dann entsprechend anpasse. lg --Steinsplitter (talk) 11:40, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

Hallo, den Strich gab es schon auf der Originalseite (und dort auch nur bei diesen Bilder); demnach ist es fair anzunehmen, dass er etwas bedeuten soll. Alle bestreffenden Bilder, die ich finden konnte sind stereoscopische Aufnahmen. Deshalb müssen diese zwangsläufig später als 1800 entstanden sein. Ich stimme dir zu, dass diese auch kurz vor der angegebenen Zeit entstanden sein könnten, was bei meiner Änderung verloren gegangen ist. Ich habe es deshalb alle nochmals angespasst: z.B. [3]. Mein Code ist hier [4]. Wichtig ist hier auch der Umbruch am Ende, sonst läuft bei ca. 188-02 (circa Februar 188) alles aus dem Ruder. Viele Grüße --Schlurcher (talk) 05:17, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Double redirect

Hello. I had to undo this edit, because it redirected the category to another redirect (back to itself). I think the better solution in this case would be to get an admin to move the category page to the correctly spelled title, and perhaps delete the misspelled one. --R'n'B (talk) 12:33, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Patroler Question

I've asked another admin this but I still wasn't sure so I thought I'd ask someone who I believe is known for good vandal fighting. Once an IP has been reported/delt with and the vandalism has been reverted already is it appropriate to patrol the edits if it isn't already patrolled? I try to keep as much of a handle on anonymous IP vandalism as one person can and I am curious what would the appropriate way to deal with this? I already patrol the edits of a someone doing vandalism before I would revert/correct/restore but I don't know how to handle someone who has had an admin action against them. The case of 85.118.76.63 made this issue shown to me. Thank you for your time. -- Sixflashphoto (talk) 18:32, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Reviewed edits should be always marked as patrolled so they no longer pop up at the queue (You may find the CVN page helpful: COM:CVN#Read_me). Best --Steinsplitter (talk) 18:46, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for the quick response and direct answer. This was just a new situation with an IP that an admin had already blocked and I didn't want to step on anyone's toes. Thank you very much again. -- Sixflashphoto (talk) 18:48, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Since I have your attention and this is something I do while you are much better at it, is there a specific trick or way you use to find and fight vandalism? You would be the person to ask, and this is something I want, even enjoy, doing to help the project. I've been doing it for a bit, long enough to know that there must be a better way. Recent changes and the RTRC only help so much unless, go back so far, is there is a trick to configuring them? So any suggestions would be most welcome. Thank you again, -- Sixflashphoto (talk) 19:17, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

There is no real tool. Watching abusefilter logs may be helpful, and adding widely used files to the watchlist. --Steinsplitter (talk) 12:05, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Correction request File:Paises con mayoría cristiana.svg

In File:Paises con mayoría cristiana.svg, could you correct Azerbaijan because it is erroneously shown as a Christian majority country? The percentage of Christians in Azerbaijan is below 5% according to various academic sources and research companies. (It is shown as a nominally Muslim Shiite majority country in these sources, but it ranks among the least religious/most irreligious countries in the world according to these same sources as well.)

Bitte den Bot bremsen

Guten Abend. Bin gerade zufällig darauf gestoßen, dass Dein Bot vor ziemlich genau einem Jahr reihenweise Unfug angerichtet hat wie diesen hier.

Es ist kein persönlicher Vorwurf, dass ein normaler Mensch keine Flugzeugtypen auseinander halten kann. Aber eine zweimotorige, alte Tu-134 ist nun mal etwas vollkommen anderes als eine dicke, dreimotorige Tu-154.

Habe nun alles mühsam zurückgesetzt. Ich bin sehr gerne bereit, Fragen zur Luftfahrt zu beantworten. Freundliche Grüße --Uli Elch (talk) 16:31, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

By the way: HotCat wäre vielleicht etwas für dich. Lg --Steinsplitter (talk) 16:48, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Danke für die Antwort und den Tip. "Hot cat" benutze ich allerdings schon lange; es ist eine enorme Erleichterung gegenüber der früheren Bearbeitung innerhalb des File-Textes.

Was ich aber sehr gut gebrauchen könnte, wäre eine Funktion, mit der man - wie bei "Cat-a-lot" - mehrere Kategorien gleichzeitig ändern könnte. Gibt's denn so was überhaupt? Viele Grüße --Uli Elch (talk) 09:34, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

Sortierschlüssel bei Flughäfen

Hallo noch mal. Ein Nutzer (Apalsola) hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, die früher (und in den meisten Fallen übliche) Reihenfolge (Sortierschlüssel) bei Flughäfen zu ändern bzw. zurück zu ändern. Er meint, die cat "year" sei die einzig wirklich wichtige und gehöre, deutlich abgehoben, ganz an den Anfang.

Die cat "Aircraft at XYZ airport" sei dagegen unwichtig und "Just another sub-category; no reason to sort above the others". Meine Meinung lautet dagegen "Aircraft are much more important for an airport than dates" (nach 18.000 Flugstunden in der Linienfliegerei).

Bevor sich da ein edit war entwickelt, möchte ich Dich bitten, das mal zu prüfen und ihn ggf. anzusprechen. Viele Grüße --Uli Elch (talk) 15:29, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Frage

Hallo, wenn ich mir das ansehe [5], frage ich mich, ob ihr (die liebe Adminschaft) nicht schlicht und einfach "euren Aktionismus" rückgängig macht, den Herzi Pinki anzettelte. Gruß -- Bwag (talk) 14:51, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

@Bwag: Wie du sicher dem AN entnommen hast ist aufgrund eines technischen Fehler derzeit das Wiederherstellen der Datei nicht möglich und somit kann der sog. Split nicht abgeschlossen werden. In keinster Weise Aktionismus, es ist mir völlig fern liegend warum du immer konnotiertes Vokabular verwendest. --Steinsplitter (talk) 14:58, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Schau, welchen Vorteil gibt es durch das Splitting? Ich sehe keinen, daher ordne ich so etwas als "Aktionismus" ein. Wenn einer unbedingt das ältere Bild haben will, dann klickt er auf der File-Site nicht das aktuelle Foto an, sondern das in der History - das war's. Hinzu kommt, dass es nicht verboten ist, neuere Versionen über die ältere zu laden, denn das hier ist ja nur als "Empfehlung" deklariert: [6]. Also warum jetzt unbedingt dieses Splitting stattfinden musste ich mir ein Rätsel. Gruß -- Bwag (talk) 15:08, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

@Ronhjones: He was rude to other users, misused his talkpage access, was disruptive (personal attacks included, not going to link), made legal legal threats.

@Dsm.wiki: Hi, The correct one is .oga as per https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5334.txt --Steinsplitter (talk) 18:01, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Yes, but Wiktionary doesn't support that yet. So could you change that? --SE ^(talk) 19:15, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

@Dsm.wiki: Not really, MediaWiki:Gadget-AjaxQuickDelete.js (switch at line 1125) enforces the oga when moving such files. But it should work on Wiktionary, at lest for me it work there. Do you have a example where it does not work? --Steinsplitter (talk) 19:22, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

I think, it's working. It was the extension. I forgot to change it. Is this now the replacement of .ogg? If so, they need to replace that too in all of the articles, unless it will not die any time soon? --SE ^(talk) 19:43, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

It should work without replacing as well, and it will not die any time soon. :) --Steinsplitter (talk) 14:52, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

File:Bundesverwaltungsgericht, Leipzig, 180222, ako.jpg

Hi, not sure what you tried to achieve here. The file is currently in Category:Files with no machine-readable license. This category has to be checked regularly (about every week) by hand, file by file, because many files that are uploaded without a license are not detected by the bots. So if we allow files with a valid license to be in that category, we are basically frustrating the process of detecting files without a valid license. Jcb (talk) 15:40, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

@Jcb: See my comment here. Plese don't create DR's (Commons:Deletion requests/File:Bundesverwaltungsgericht, Leipzig, 180222, ako.jpg) to make a COM:POINT. Maybe your behavior should be discussed at AN/U. --Steinsplitter (talk) 16:01, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

How do licenses qualify as machine-readable?   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 16:55, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

You have to add some markers to the license template, so that other tools can read it. --Steinsplitter (talk) 17:00, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

User:Arbalete

Hallo Stein, ein IP-Benutzer aus Italien hat sich mehrfach über die Umbenennungen beschwert, die Arbalete auf Commons vorgenommen hat. Es gab dazu einen Thread auf COM/AN, der aber im Sand verlaufen ist, sowie eine kurze Nachricht auf dem Vandalismusboard. Nun hat der IP-Nutzer u. a. Taivo und mich persönlich kontaktiert. Da es zu dem Problem offenbar eine Vorgeschichte mit Sockenpuppen und Sperrungen auf ITWIKI gibt, sind wir der Meinung, dass du wegen deiner Sprachkenntnisse eventuell die Sache auf Commons untersuchen solltest. Und weil deine Disk-Seite geschützt ist, kann sich der anonyme Kollege nicht selbst melden. Was meinst du dazu? De728631 (talk) 15:27, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Muss mich da erst einlesen, kann etwas dauern. --Steinsplitter (talk) 16:05, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Bei Cirié/Ciriè hat meine recherche ergeben das de-jure Cirié und de-facto Ciriè 1. Ist tricky, eb nimmt È. Bei Presseaussendungen der Gemeinden wird é verwendet. Die Vorgeschichte muss ich erst lesen. --Steinsplitter (talk) 16:23, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

@Steinsplitter: I'm now able to contact you in your talk, I was told you're an admin who can deal with Italian linguistic issues. Well, I'll explain here: first, Arbalete is an Italian vandal who was blocked for damaging Wikipedia to sustain his opinions and who anonymised himself with German IPs again and again to bypass the block but was blocked again and again; second, despite in all projects Cirié has always been spelled like that and despite Cirié is the correct spelling which is used in the municipal site (Città di Cirié) and even in the municipal statute (Statuto del Comune di Cirié), Arbalete has arbitrarily and without consulting anyone moved all the categories and files with this name to Ciriè, changing the accent because, either from his "point of view" (POV) or because of his lack of knowledge about Italian language conventions, he sustains that every Italian name ending with accented E must have the grave accent, which would mean that no Italian name with the stress on final E can have the sound /e/, which is not only false but also absurd... What do you think about these 2 issues, that is this vandal's behaviour and the correctness of the sourced spelling Cirié?

2A01:7C8:AAAE:2B3:4890:8C4:91BA:B2D6 09:39, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

@De728631 and Taivo: I've done as you advised me, I asked Steinsplitter for help because he should be able to deal with such issues... Well, you've been more helpful than him just saying you couldn't help me: at least you both bothered to reply my messages. 2A01:7C8:AAAE:2B3:85FD:C990:DE33:6BB7 08:00, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

@Ruthven and .snoopy.: Likely the filemove performed by Arbalete should be reverted, as well as the category moved. At least the cat moved should be reverted and discussed at CFD. --Steinsplitter (talk) 13:49, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

As you said, "Cirié/Ciriè" is tricky, but the same happened with Category:Portobuffolè/Category:Portobuffolé (where he might be right, given the sources), Baselga di Piné (where he's not right at all), etc. I'm checking and, eventually, reverting. Thanks --Ruthven (msg) 14:26, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

Actually I've noticed that he's Filemover. How do you suggest to proceed, in order to remove this flag? --Ruthven (msg) 14:35, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

Not sure. Needless to say that he never provides a reason when moving files as required by COM:RENAME. --Steinsplitter (talk) 14:55, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

Request to contact STL viewer developers

Hi Steinsplitter,

As you wrote about STL now being supported by Wikimedia, I wonder if you could point me to the relevant person(s) about a possible bug in the Wikimedia model viewer. I'd posted the following on the Computer help-desk but didn't get any replies:

“

I created a few STL files below and found that artifacts appear in the Wikimedia viewer and occasionally the thumbnail. I've checked that the direction of facet vertices is anticlockwise, the normals are sensible and polygons are not duplicated. It seems to happen more where the polyhedron is thin. All these polyhedra render correctly on http://viewstl.com . Would anyone know how to fix these artifacts? Severe artifacts Severe artifacts Major artifacts Minor artifacts

Structured Data on Commons Newsletter - Spring 2018

Welcome to the newsletter for Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons! You can update your subscription to the newsletter and contribute to the next issue. Do inform others who you think will want to be involved in the project!

Community updates

• Our dedicated IRC channel: wikimedia-commons-sd ^webchat
• Several Commons community members are working on ways to integrate Wikidata in Wikimedia Commons. While this is not full-fledged structured data yet, this work helps to prepare for future conversion of data, and helps to understand how Wikidata and Commons can work better together.
  • Thanks to Jarekt and other contributors, some Commons templates can now be filled via Wikidata: {{Creator}} (Phabricator) and {{Institution}} (Phabricator). Work is ongoing on the {{Artwork}} template (Phabricator).
  • Thanks to Mike Peel and others, Wikidata-powered infoboxes can now be added to Commons categories, with the template {{Wikidata Infobox}}. (Example)
  • Multichill is working on an experimental workflow to upload images to Commons via Wikidata (and using metadata from Wikidata). See a part of it here.

Things to do / input and feedback requests

• Join the community focus group!
• Do you want to help out translating messages about Structured Data on Commons from English to your own language? Sign up on the translators page.
• Contribute to the next newsletter.

Discussions held

• Conversation about licensing and copyright modeling.
• High-level discussion on ontology for Commons.
• Review first designs for multilingual captions.
• IRC office hour, 13 February

Events

• Wikimedia Conference, Berlin, 20-22 April (+ Learning Days 18-19 April): several sessions and workshops around Structured Commons
• EuropeanaTech Conference, Rotterdam, 15-16 May: several presentations + a full workshop day on Monday 14 May about Wikidata and Structured Commons
• Wikimedia Hackathon, Barcelona, 18-20 May: Structured Commons as a focus area.

Partners and allies

• We are still welcoming (more) staff from GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) to become part of our long-term focus group (phabricator task T174134). You will be kept in the loop of the project, and receive regular small surveys and requests for feedback. Get in touch with Sandra if you're interested - your input in helping to shape this project is highly valued!

Research

• The research about GLAM contributions to Wikimedia Commons is concluded. A blog post on the Wikimedia blog provides a summary, and you can read the full results on meta.wikimedia.org.

Development

• Prototypes will be available for Multilingual Captions soon.

Stay up to date!

• Follow the Structured Data on Commons project on Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/34/
• Subscribe to this newsletter to receive it on a talk page of your own choice.
• Join the next IRC office hour and ask questions to the team! The date for next quarter will be announced soon.

Possible abuse filter request

Hi Steinsplitter. I noticed that you do a lot of abuse filter work and I was wondering what your thoughts are on creating a filter, just to log right now, that looks for people using alamy as a {{Copyvio}} deletion reason? This is per Commons:Village pump/Proposals#Add alamy.com to spam blacklist. Obviously the spam blacklist is not going to happen as that would not be appropriate. We also don't have any data on how often this problem occurs so just having a log right now would be immensely helpful. I'm trying to find a middle ground that will please both sides here and I think a filter might do the trick. Thoughts? --Majora (talk) 19:49, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

We have limited ABF condition therefore i am not a fan of such filters. --Steinsplitter (talk) 07:33, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

I'm sorry but I don't quite understand what you mean. Do you mean there isn't enough limiting there to make a filter worthwhile? Or that it would be a waste of resources? I'm more just looking to see if this is really such a big problem as it is being made out to be. We have no data on this issue. Just some passing problems mentioned at the pump. Do you have any other suggestions as to how we could potentially see if this is as large a problem as it is being made out to be? --Majora (talk) 16:32, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

It would be indeed a wast of resources, see Commons:Abuse filter#Filter_requests, mw:Extension:AbuseFilter/Conditions. --Steinsplitter (talk) 16:35, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Irgendwas stimmt nicht mit der Hauptseite

Hi. Mir scheint, irgendwas stimmt nicht mit der Hauptseite. Zurzeit steht in der Überschrift ziemlich ungeordnet "Wikimedia Commons a collection of 46,303,385 freely usable media files to which anyone can contribute". Bis vor kurzem stand dort "Welcome to Wikimedia Commons" und weiter mit neuer Zeile -- so wie auf diesem Screenshot. Nach der Änderung, die das ausgelöst haben muss, habe ich leider vergeblich gesucht. Hast du eine Idee? Thx --A.Savin 22:40, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Anfrage für Deinen Bot

Tach, Steinsplitter, ist Dein Bot zu Folgendem in der Lage (und wenn nicht, wen könnte ich stattdessen fragen Commons:Bots/Work requests — Speravir – 18:02, 20 April 2018 (UTC)):

• In allen Seiten, die in Category:Pages with incorrect usage of Template:Published sortiert sind, nach der dort vorhandenen Vorlage {{Published}} suchen – die kann auch mehrmals pro Seite vorkommen – und in jeder Vorlagenverwendung kontrollieren, ob der Parameter legal gesetzt wurde. Nachtrag: Falss das ein Problem sein könnte: Es gibt auch 3 Weiterleitungen auf die Vorlage: {{Online source}}, {{Press}} und {{Reused}}. — – 17:54, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
• Wenn er fehlt, dann |legal = unclear setzen, als Bearbeitungsvermerk sowas wie „fixed template“ oder konkreter „added missing template parameter“ oder so in der Art.

Dann müsste man (vulgo ich) sich manuell nur noch den Fällen widmen, wo der Parameter zwar gesetzt ist, aber mit fehlerhaften Werten (ich habe zum Beispiel einmal gesehen, dass jemand die Kopiervorlage unverändert belassen hat) oder ein Parameter ab legal2 oder defekt ist oder fehlt. — Speravir – 17:45, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Werde versuchen es die nächten Tage zu erledigen. lg--Steinsplitter (talk) 17:55, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Trotzdem danke. Nein, der Parameter ist nicht optional, siehe Vorlagen-Doku und erstes der Beispiele dort, wie das dann aussieht. — Speravir – 16:12, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Hey @Waddie96: , I don't think photos of propaganda are de-jure "communist symbols" it is matter of interpretation, it depends in which context they are used (see judicature in affected country's). Tagging such files would require us to add this disclaimer to then thousands of commons files and not just a few one. In general there is no danger in re-using such files in a educational context inside the EU and the US (for example in a scientific paper). Best --Steinsplitter (talk) 08:11, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Please contat the user who request the rename. And yes, there was a CFD: Commons:Categories for discussion/2012/07/Category:Aircraft by airline --Steinsplitter (talk) 17:18, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Please take a look at Category:Aircraft by registration. You used your bot on a category which was not part of the discussion. "You" are the responsible one for your bot's mistakes. -- Meisam (talk) 17:34, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

@Meisam: The move was requested via COM:CDC. Please follow due procedure and contact the admin who requested/approved the move. Again: I am not going to revert other admins decisions. I have nothing to add. CC: @Ruthven: --Steinsplitter (talk) 17:40, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

I did some checks, and the name seems to be indeed wrong to me. I reverted it for now... --Steinsplitter (talk) 17:52, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks again. I understand that you get tons of requests like this all the time. But please read properly before dismissing them. Cheers! -- Meisam (talk) 18:04, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Thank you Steinplitter, it was a mistake indeed. This CfD implied a very big set of changes, and it's normal that something escaped our vigilance. Cheers, Ruthven (msg) 18:51, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

request: support mirroring in addition to rotation

in addition to rotation, sometimes image mirroring is needed (see multiple requests in MediaWiki talk:Gadget-RotateLink.js). the standard answer for these request is "first, teach the bot to mirror, then we can add it to the gadget" (or something similar). can this bot learn to mirror images, as a "special case" of rotation?

Stained glass windows

Hi, Steinsplitter. I see your bot is redirecting all categories containing the phrase "stained glass windows" to similar categories with "stained-glass windows". I have no quarrel with this, there are good grammatical reasons for it. However it's also redirecting other categories where "stained glass" stands by itself, not as an adjectival phrase qualifying "windows", and in these cases it's taking perfectly good grammar and turning it bad. The categories I'm talking about are:

Category:Elizabeth Woodville on stained glass
Category:Edmund the Martyr on stained glass
Category:Saint Etheldreda on stained glass
Category:Elizabeth I of England on stained glass
Category:Monstrances on stained glass
Category:Elizabeth of York on stained glass
Category:Dagobert I on stained glass
Category:Coats of arms of Lorraine on stained glass

I'm not sure if changing them all manually is as simple as it might appear at first glance, being as untechie as I am. Can you do this by bot or should I be taking this elsewhere for discussion? Thanks. --Antiquary (talk) 15:01, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Abgewählte FP's

Hallo Steinsplitter. Mir ist eben folgendes aufgefallen: wenn ein Bild auf FPC abgewählt wird und folglich nicht mehr zu den Exzellenten gehört, wird ja in der Vorlage {{Assessments}} der Parameter 1 auf 2 geändert. Dann steht in der Vorlage ein "zerbrochener" Stern und der Text "This formerly was a featured picture on Wikimedia Commons" etc., was soweit korrekt ist. Nun aber steht gleichzeitig in der oberen rechten Ecke der Bildbeschreibungsseite immer noch ein voller Stern und beim Drüberfahren des Mauszeigers: "This is a Featured Picture". (Siehe als Beispiel File:Baker Beach 2.jpg.) Das sollte nicht sein, da es offensichtlich irreführend ist. In der rechten oberen Ecke sollte beim Parameter 2 der gleiche "abgebrochene" Stern und der Text mit "formerly was" etc. stehen. Irgendetwas sollte am {{Assessments}} geändert werden, aber ich traue mich nicht ran. Kannst du helfen? Gruß --A.Savin 00:25, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Fehlbestimmtes Bild File:Bärenschote - Astragalus glycyphyllos.jpg

  Astragalus glycyphyllos
  mein Bild
• 
  Astragalus glycyphyllos (Zeichnung)
• 
  Lathyrus laevigatus

Hallo Steinsplitter/Archive/2018,
Dein oben gezeigtes Bild ganz links in der Galerie halte ich für fehlbestimmt, da die aufrechten Pflanzen gar nicht zu der fast immer am Boden liegenden Art Astragalus glycyphyllos passen. Außerdem passen die spitzen Teilblättchen und die einseitswendigen Blütenstände überhaupt nicht zu Astragalus glycyphyllos und die ockerfarbig verblühenden Blüten habe ich da auch noch nicht gesehen. Ich tippe daher darauf, dass es sich beim Gegenstand Deines Fotos um Lathyrus laevigatus subsp. occidentalis handelt, falls das Bild aus Tirol stammen sollte. Allerdings steht beim Bild leider nicht, wo es fotografiert wurde, und ich habe Lathyrus laevigatus noch nie gefunden. Immerhin handelt es sich um eine erheblich interessantere und ungewöhnlichere Pflanzenart als Astragalus glycyphyllos. Mit freundlichen Grüßen --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 09:58, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

@Robert Flogaus-Faust: Hallo, Danke. Wurde tatsächlich in Tirol, über ca. 1300 m s.l.m. aufgenommen. Soll ich die Beschreibung und Dateinamen an "Lathyrus laevigatus" anpassen? --Steinsplitter (talk) 10:09, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

Structured Data on Commons Newsletter - Summer 2018

Welcome to the newsletter for Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons! You can update your subscription to the newsletter and contribute to the next issue. Do inform others who you think will want to be involved in the project!

Community updates

• Our dedicated IRC channel: wikimedia-commons-sd ^webchat
• Since our last newsletter, the Structured Data team has moved into designing and building prototypes for various features. The use of multilingual captions in the UploadWizard and on the file page has been researched, designed, discussed, and built out for use. Behind the scenes, back-end work on search is taking place and designs are being drawn up for the front-end. There will soon be specifications published for the use of the first Wikidata property on Commons, "Depicts," and a prototype is to be released to go along with that.

Things to do / input and feedback requests

• A workshop on what Wikidata properties Commons will need. This workshop will be open for the entire month of July 2018 at minimum.

• Join the community focus group!
• Do you want to help out translating messages about Structured Data on Commons from English to your own language? Sign up on the translators page.
• Contribute to the next newsletter.

Discussions held

• In late February there was a discussion around how Commons generally sees data being modeled.

• The first discussion on copyright and licensing with Commons was held in March. This was a "high level" discussion, there will be a consultation later this summer about the deeper mapping of copyright and licensing in a structured way.
• In April there was an exercise for GLAM partners in metadata and ontology mapping.
• A discussion about the design for Multilingual Captions on the file page took place in May. You can still review the designs and leave feedback.
• There was an IRC office hour in June to discuss progress so far and future plans.

Wikimania 2018

• Three sessions about Structured Commons are officially scheduled for Wikimania 2018 - Cape Town, South Africa - July 2018.
  • Wikimedia Commons and GLAM needs around the world (Friday 20 July, 10:30 local time)
  • Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons and knowledge equity (Friday 20 July, 14:00 local time)
  • Design challenge workshop: How can multilingual structured metadata bring knowledge equity to Commons? (Friday 20 July, 14:30 local time)
• Structured Data on Commons is also a focus area during the Wikimania 2018 Hackathon. We will, among other things, do 'live' modelling of Wikidata properties for Commons - an offline spin-off of the community consultation taking place on wiki.

Partners and allies

• We are still welcoming (more) staff from GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) to become part of our long-term focus group (phabricator task T174134). You will be kept in the loop of the project, and receive regular small surveys and requests for feedback. Get in touch with Sandra if you're interested - your input in helping to shape this project is highly valued!
• Structured Data on Commons was presented to GLAM audiences during EuropeanaTech 2018 in Rotterdam (15 May 2018) and at the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek Forum in Berlin (4 June 2018).

Research

Two research projects about Wikimedia Commons are currently ongoing, or in the process of being finished:

1. Research:Curation workflows on Wikimedia Commons—a project that seeks to understand the current workflows of Commons contributors who curate media (categorize it, delete it, link to it from other projects, etc.).
2. Research:Technical needs of external re-users of Commons media—soliciting feedback from individuals and organizations that re-use Commons content outside of Wikimedia projects, in order to understand their current painpoints and unmet needs.

Development

• Prototypes will be available for Depicts soon.

Stay up to date!

• Follow the Structured Data on Commons project on Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/34/
• Subscribe to this newsletter to receive it on a talk page of your own choice.
• Join the next IRC office hour and ask questions to the team! The date for next quarter will be announced soon.

Image of Lomatia polymorpha

Hello Steinsplitter,

I uploaded an image of Lomatia polymorpha to Commons. The image was taken by Murray Fagg and included in the Australian Plant Image Index. For reasons I do not know, someone thought the orientation was wrong. I have reverted to the original orientation but now the image in Wikipedia appears distorted. Any help you can give to fix the problem would be appreciated. Gderrin (talk) 08:00, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

I do not understand why, but after I made a minor edit to the Wikipedia page on Lomatia polymorpha the problem seems to be resolved. If your work, thank you. Gderrin (talk) 09:43, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Werkzeug zum Bewegen ganzer Kategorie-Gruppen

Schönen guten Abend. Weißt Du vielleicht zufällig, ob es ein tool zum Bewegen ganzer Kategorie-Gruppen gibt, ähnlich "Cat-a-lot" für Gruppen von Dateien?

Für mich ware das eine große Hilfe und Arbeitsersparnis. Beispiel: Auf der Seite Category:Aircraft built in 1991 möchte ich alle Kategorien (die jeweils einzelne Flugzeug-Kennzeichen betreffen), welche bei "8" stehen ("89-xxxx"), auf einen Schlag in die zuständige Unterkategorie "Category:Military aircraft built in 1991" schieben.

Danke im Voraus! Viele Grüße --Uli Elch (talk) 17:57, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Mit "Cat-a-lot" kannst du auch Kategorien verschieben. Einfach wie Dateien markieren und dann verschieben. De728631 (talk) 18:03, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Danke, klappt aber leider hier nicht.

Wenn ich markiere und dann mit Cat-a-lot ">" oder "+" schieben möchte, kommt: "No file is selected", auch in der umgekehrten Reihenfolge. ... ?? Grüße --Uli Elch (talk) 18:16, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Also bei mir hat's funktioniert: [9]. De728631 (talk) 18:42, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Ja, gesehen. Vielleicht liegt's an der Software; habe Windows 7 mit IE 11, und da funktioniert es bei mir irgendwie nicht, obwohl ich mit Cat-a-lot für Dateien wirklich sehr viel Übung habe. Naja, nochmals Danke und viele Grüße. --Uli Elch (talk) 19:00, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Jetzt hab' ich es - falls mal wieder jemand fragt.

In den "Preferences" der Cat-a-lot-box muß man die Box "Allow categorizing pages (including categories) ..." mit Häkchen versehen. Dann nach "OK" auf "Publicly visible ...".

Vandalism

Hello. I saw several images rotated by SteinsplitterBot (talk · contribs) in response to requests from a vandalism-only account - Bells ring at school (talk · contribs). Some of them were highly-visible images (Donald Trump, Jimmy Wales). Is it possible/feasible for your bot to require some sort of manual review if a user who isn't yet autoconfirmed requests rotation? --B (talk) 12:21, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

@B: Such a feature (manual review) is currently not planned, especially because it will (hopfeully) replaced soon by a MediaWiki extension. Generally highly-visible images are watched well but it if it happens often we can set some limits. --Steinsplitter (talk) 14:35, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Das habe ich bemerkt. Ich habe zwar so ziemlich alle Bilder von mir kategorisiert aber es könnte sein, daß mir welche entgangen sind. Wärst du in der Lage, mal zu prüfen, ob ich alle erwischt habe? Ich habe sie unter Category:Quality images by Ralf Roletschek in Unterkategorien. Wenn der Bot die fehlenden in der Oberkat. einsortieren könnte? Ist nur ne Frage, bitte keinen Riesenaufwand. Ich habe keine Cat. aller meiner Bilder, das wäre zu viel... --Ralf Roleček  21:33, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Cοlin vs Colin

I have been on holiday since the 15th so haven't had access to Commons. I see the discussion on the other guy's username has been archived without any action that I can find. Can an AN/U discussion be un-archived, since it wasn't resolved? Or perhaps User:DerHexer has an opinion now they are active again on Commons. I thought the policy and action required was fairly straightforward, but the AN/U discussion got interfered by more than one unhelpful contributor. -- Colin (talk) 09:00, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

To be honest, i am inclined to block the user for violating the username policy. @DerHexer: Can you revert the rename, please? --Steinsplitter (talk) 11:12, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

Empty surname cats.

Hi, your bot currently creating thousends of empty surname cats with wikidata template - i.e. Category:Border (surname). There is an error message about mising wikidata item too. Whats the background and will that gets fixed by your bot? So: 1. Filling the categories? 2. Creating or connecting the wikidata items to them? Thx. --JuTa 13:59, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Hello, Please see Commons:Bots/Work requests#Batch_create_"surname"_categories. It might take a few days until everything is linked and synchronized (Commons:Job queue) from Wikidata. BTW: Nice to see that someone is watching page creations! Best --Steinsplitter (talk) 14:08, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

I'm watching the Category:Surnames :) Thx, So your bot will create missing wikidata items or link existing ones to the commons cats? --JuTa 14:13, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Laddo will do that as far i know with the QuickStatements tool. I am creating them and he is connecting them with wikidata (=if not exists yet, creating the stuff there). Best :) --Steinsplitter (talk) 14:18, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Hmm, I'm busy to "fill" Loddo's empty surname cats by either null-edits or correcting peoples wikidata items since about a week. I'm afraid that there will be a lot of manual work (for me and others) left. --JuTa 14:21, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Generally there should be no null-edit needed, the server-sice cache should disapperar after a few days ot otherwise we can null-edit via bot. Regarding remaining cats, we can (in worst case) mass delete them (the empty ones; i can do that if needed). No worrys. --Steinsplitter (talk) 14:30, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Well it looks like he startet at 26.8. with that manualy and there are still a lot of empty cats from that day. --JuTa 14:33, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

There are still 20k left, stopped for now waiting for Laddo's reply. --Steinsplitter (talk) 14:34, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Your bot can do a null edit to the people's categories which are not listet in the surname's cats? How it finds out what to null-edit? You can continue to bot-run, the quicker we will see if the jobqueue will fill the cats or not. Otherwise I will have to do about 32.000 searches and (null)edits anyhow. --JuTa 14:46, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Nulledit all transclusions with connection to a people cat. But i am a bit concerned because generally the jobqueue should keep such stuff up-to-date :-/. Maybe it should be reported on phabricator. --Steinsplitter (talk) 15:14, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Hmm, 1.7 Million null-edits to fix 32.000 does not sound like a very effectiv method, but it will work :). I'm currently going through Category:Surnames manually alphabeticly, filling emtpy cats (I find a lot of other things to fix btw) fixing sorting issues and moving double names outof surnames (and into their single names). I dont like to restart a Aa when your bot continues. So from my point of view, let is run now. --JuTa 15:22, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Ok, A is done yet. --Steinsplitter (talk) 15:24, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

@Steinsplitter and JuTa: Hi to both of you. All surname categories that I listed will have elements after the server cache backlog is processed. In all cases, "What links here" shows pages waiting for each category creation. I believe null-edits are unnecessary, as I witnessed with Category:Gautier (surname) (that took 5 days to eventually "fill"). IMHO, every time template {{Wikidata infobox}} is changed, all 1.2 million + pages are re-processsed. JuTa, I noticed your adjustments; I promise I will revisit those new categories needing fixes to sort or categorization to manually fix them just as you did so far.

I just ran a first QuickStatement batch to connect the "B" categories that you created so far. I hope you agree to restart category creations soon. Cheers -- Laddo (talk) 17:28, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi Laddo, jut as an expamle Category:Buxbaum (surname) wasnt yet connected. I just did it - see here. --JuTa 18:38, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

@JuTa: No worries, you were just too fast: my QS batch finished at 19:04:43... It processed "Buxbaum" right before "Buxton" at 19:02. Remember QuickStatement does about one edit per 10 seconds - my batch made 2674 edits in about 2 hours. I'm already preparing fixes for categories requiring adjustments to sort keys and subcategorizations. No worries! -- Laddo (talk) 22:17, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Einschätzung bezüglich Bot-Einsatz

Hallo Steinsplitter,

im Zuge dieser Botanfrage (dewiki) komme ich in die Verlegenheit, vollautomatisch per Bot neue Dateiversionen hier auf Commons hochzuladen.

Zunächst geht es mal nur wochentäglich um die Datei File:Euro exchange rate to TRY - Turkish Currency and Debt Crisis 2018.svg. Einen entsprechenden Testedit gibts im Beta-Wiki. Später sollen, mit deutlich geringerer Frequenz, die weiteren Diagramme nach dem Muster Euro exange rate to ???.svg aus Category:Euro exchange rate charts folgen.

Brauche ich für diese Änderungen hier ein Bot-Flag oder sonst eine formale Erlaubnis, bzw. was sollte ich beachten?

Grüße -- Jogo.obb (talk) 07:09, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

ungerechtfertigte Löschanträge

Hallo Steinsplitter,
es gibt ein Problem mit user:Patrick Rogel, der mir immer wieder fehlende Quellenangaben vorwirft, obwohl ich diese genannt habe. Die Fotos stammen aus dem Privatbereich und haben keinen Link zu etwas. Ich kenne alle angegebenen Personen (Quelle/Author) persönlich und habe sie per Messenger/Mail erhalten. Alles OK so weit. Es läuft aber gerade auf einen Edit War zB [12] raus, weil er meine Angaben einfach nicht akzeptieren will. Eine Seite für VM oÄ. habe ich nicht gefunden, deshalb wende ich mich direkt an dich. Was soll/kann ich tun?. Dank im Voraus. Gruß Rafael Zink (talk) 17:12, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

PS: Anscheinend macht ihm das gerade Freude alle meine Uploads durchzugehen und sie als unbequellt in den DR bzw. OHNE Quellenangabe zu setzen: [13] Irgendwas läuft da bei ihm falsch. Ich habe bei allen ordnungsgemäß Quelle und Autor angegeben. Gruß Rafael Zink (talk) 17:22, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

Bist du der Urheber (Fotograf in diesem Falle)? Solltest du auf Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Rafael Zink anmerken. COM:AN/U ist für Benutzerprobleme, sollte aber die ultima-ratio sein. Löschprüfung ist COM:UDEL. --Steinsplitter (talk) 17:17, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

Nein, ich bin nicht der Fotograf. Die Fotografen/Author wurde genannt und auch die Quelle über die ich sie erhielt. Gruß Rafael Zink (talk) 17:22, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

Dann wird leider eine Freigabeerklärung (COM:OTRS) des Fotografen benötigt. Weil sonst ist es nicht rechtssicher, müdliche Freigaben sins immer schwierig. Also am besten er schrickt ne freigabeerklärung per Mail ans OTRS Team und dann sollte die Sache passen. --Steinsplitter (talk) 17:28, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

Was genau soll das heißen? Mir wird Betrug unterstellt? Die Leute stellen Commons Fotos zur Verfügung, haben sonst aber nix mit Wiki zu tun und mich gebeten diese für sie hochzuladen. Nicht nur das meine jahrelange, aufwendige Arbeit jetzt völlig, rechtens in Frage gestellt wird, wird keiner sich die Mühe machen und eine Freigabeerklärung aufsetzen. Das sind Leute, die sich die Turniere hobbymäßig anschauen und keinen weiteren Aufriss damit haben wollen außer Carambol. Aber selbst seine Bilder, die ich für ihn immer hochlade, weil er älteren Semesters ist und sich mit der Materie nicht auskennt. Wie anders sollen dir an Bilder kommen, wenn nicht durch Privatpersonen, die ab und zu mal vor Ort sind. Ich finde das gerade extrem frustrierend, abgesehen von Rogers schofeliger Art, dass jetzt tausende Bilder die ich im Namen anderer hochgeladen habe, einfach zur Löschung ausgeschrieben werden. Da braucht sich Wikimedia nicht wundern, wenn die Leute nichts mehr machen. Es gibt keine andere Möglichkeit, als auch über solche Leute an Bilder zu kommen. Man kann aber nicht erwarten, dass sie diesen aufwendigen Weg über OTRS gehen.

Von Carambol könnte ich wohl eine Generalfreigabe über alle bisherigen und alle zukünftigen Bilder erhalten. Wird das akzeptiert? Gruß Rafael Zink (talk) 07:51, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

@Rafael Zink: Generalfreigaben sind auch OK. Unterstellt wird dir nichts, die Richtlinie sieht es so vor. Es ist eine Vorsichtsmaßnahme, sonst kann er irgendwann kommen und die Löschung der Bilder fordern oder Nachtnutzer Abmahnen. Siehe COM:OTRS. --Steinsplitter (talk) 10:56, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Ich werde das dann heute erstmal mit Carambol versuchen. Wenn er das an OTRS gesendet hat, gibt es dann eine „Quittung„ mit Bearbeitungsnummer? Wer setzt dann das Ticket in die hunderte von Dateien ein? Kann ich, bei der Generalfreigabe, dann bei neuen Dateien dieses Ticket gleich einfügen? Schönen Sonntag. Gruß Rafael Zink (talk) 05:46, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Die Freigabe wird durch den OTRS-Mitarbeiter hinzugefügt, wenn ein Template erstellt wird (für künftge Uploads) wird dessen name dann mittgeteilt. Schon vorab: Die bearbeitung kann eine Tage oder Wochen betragen. Weiteres auf COM:OTRS --Steinsplitter (talk) 11:20, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Carambol hat gestern Abend eine Rechtserklärung rausgeschickt. Hoffe die ist so OK. Betrifft auch die Bilder, die gerade Zur DÜP anstehen. Kann ich die irgendwie markieren, so dass sie nicht gelöscht werden? Gruß Rafael Zink (talk) 07:27, 5 November 2018 (UTC) PS: Kann ich die Dateien mit {{OTRS pending}} versehen? Rafael Zink (talk) 07:46, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Structured Data - IRC office hour today, 1 November

There will be an IRC office hour for Structured Data on Commons today, 1 October 2018, from 17:00-18:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office. You can find date/time conversion, as well as a link to join the chat in your browser if needed, on the IRC Office hours page on Meta. I realize this may be short notice for some people; I am experimenting with advanced notice times to see what works best for the most people, I'll be giving more warning before the next office hour. I look forward to seeing you there. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 16:02, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

Structured Data - IRC office hour today, 1 November

The above message says 1 October in the body when it should say 1 November, as the subject line says. Apologies for making a new section by mass message, it's the only way to get this out quickly. See you in twenty minutes! -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 16:37, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

Structured Data - copyright and licensing statements

I've posted a second round of designs for modeling copyright and licensing in structured data. These redesigns are based off the feedback received in the first round of designs, and the development team is looking for more discussion. These designs are extremely important for the Commons community to review, as they deal with how copyright and licensing is translated from templates into structured form. I look forward to seeing you over there. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 16:25, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

recently declined rename requests

Hallo Steinsplitter,

meiner Auffassung nach wird die Seite Commons:File renaming/Recently declined rename requests nicht mehr aktualisiert (vgl. Versionsgeschichte), obwohl es definitiv abgelehnte Anfragen seit dem 26.10. gab. Das macht doch sonst dein Bot? Magst Du da bei Gelegenheit mal einen Blick drauf werfen?

Grüße und Danke, --Druschba 4 (talk) 13:14, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/2018/11/02 1.109 bis 1.120

Hallo Steinsplitter, ich habe am 2. Nov. für 12 Bilder Löschanträge gestellt, die seitdem vor sich hin dümpeln. Unter Globale Dateiverwendung finden sich [14] und [15], gibt es da einen Zusammenhang, dass die Bilder nicht gelöscht werden? Ich bin Neuling bei Löschanträgen. Kann es sein, dass ich nur einige Wochen oder Monate Geduld haben muss, oder kann ich irgendwie aktiv werden, um die Löschungen zu veranlassen? Speedy deletions viell.? Bilder für die ich später Löschanträge gestellt habe, wurden (teilweise) schon gelöscht. Gruss von Adelfrank (talk) 10:44, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

Hallo :), Die Datei müsste man vermutlich zum Löschen nominieren, wenn es denn wirklich eine URV ist (bin a selbst nicht 100% sicher).

Category:User pages with script errors

I noticed you created Category:User pages with script errors and I wonder if you know what mechanism was used to separate pages in user namespace from the rest in Category:Pages with script errors. I would like to do something similar on Wikidata with d:Category:Pages with script errors. --Jarekt (talk) 19:16, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for discussion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution.

VysotskyBot

Dear Steinsplitter, What do I need to do to have VysotskyBot flagged? Vysotsky (talk) 13:46, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

Hello, See COM:BOT. Generally for Ca-a-lot no bot account is required, generally the main account may be used Best --Steinsplitter (talk) 13:47, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

VysotskyBot only uses Cat-a-lot, but I want to distinguish between handmade edits (by Vysotsky) and semi-automatic edits (by VysotskyBot). Is it possible to use VysotskyBot nonetheless? Vysotsky (talk) 13:49, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

Bots cannot operate without approval. --Steinsplitter (talk) 13:59, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for this information. That leaves me two-options: 1) try to obtain a bot-status that is not needed, because this user will only apply cat-a-lot; 2) remove all bot-references at the user page. Are you willing to unblock VysotskyBot if I would remove all bot-references? I would then blank the page and use this text: "VysotskyBot is not a real bot. It is an account that is only used by User:Vysotsky for semi-automated edits in Wikimedia Commons via Cat-a-lot." Vysotsky (talk) 14:20, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

Generally for Cat-a-lot no seperat account or a botflag is needed. To operate a "xBot" a botflag is needed. Please see the above linked bot policy. --Steinsplitter (talk) 14:33, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. I changed the set-up of User:VysotskyBot. Can I ask you to rename User:VysotskyBot to User:VysotskyZ, or is that not necessary to have this user unblocked? Vysotsky (talk) 10:46, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

@Vysotsky: I can only confirm what i wrote above, if you want to operate a bot on a seperat account you need to ask for permission. Generally for Cat-A-Lot edits not Bot is needed. --Steinsplitter (talk) 15:23, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

Multilingual captions beta testing

The Structured Data on Commons team has begun beta testing of the first feature, multilingual file captions, and all community members are invited to test it out. Captions is based on designs discussed with the community[16][17] and the team is looking forward to hearing about testing. If all goes well during testing, captions will be turned on for Commons around the second week of January, 2019.

Multilingual captions are plain text fields that provide brief, easily translatable details of a file in a way that is easy to create, edit, and curate. Captions are added during the upload process using the UploadWizard, or they can be added directly on any file page on Commons. Adding captions in multiple languages is a simple process that requires only a few steps.

The details:

• There is a help page available on how to use multilingual file captions.
• Testing will take place on Beta Commons. If you don’t yet have an account set up there, you’ll need one.
• Beta Commons is a testbed, and not configured exactly like the real Commons site, so expect to see some discrepancies with user interface (UI) elements like search.
• Structured Data introduces the potential for many important page changes to happen at once, which could flood the recent changes list. Because of this, Enhanced Recent Changes is enabled as it currently is at Commons, but with some UI changes.
• Feedback and commentary on the file caption functionality are welcome and encouraged on the discussion page for this post.
• Some testing has already taken place and the team are aware of some issues. A list of known issues can be seen below.
• If you discover a bug/issue that is not covered in the known issues, please file a ticket on Phabricator and tag it with the “Multimedia” tag. Use this link to file a new task already tagged with "Multimedia."

Known issues:

• Search is not currently working on Beta Commons. Search is not needed for testing captions, but service should be restored soon.
• Language name display inconsistencies in multilingual file captions
• Language names for multilingual File captions can run into the caption value in the mobile view
• Deleting a caption field that has text that exceeds the limit does not re-enable the "publish" button
• "Edit" tab for past revisions should be "restore"
• When using the back button, recently added captions sometimes don't display in Chrome
• File Captions can't be edited on mobile browsers
• Wrong font weight for some language labels on SDC captions box

Thanks!

Renaming declined, but user reverted it

Hi Steinsplitter, in Village Pump I wrote this message (the first of 20 december). Maybe you also want to take a look at this, I'm not so happy that the user didn't respect my decision. Normally I do a little change if something can be done better, but because the user reverted it, I'm not gonna do that now.
