[edit] VisualFileChange

Hi Rillke, something seems to be broken about that (or I'm using it incorrectly). I selected a couple of uploads from User:Cunard, the result was http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Watercolor_of_Nancy_Kwan_in_a_cheongsam.jpg&diff=prev&oldid=64821039 :(. Here's what I did: 1) select "perform batch task" in the toolbox, 2) select the file, 3) choose action "OTRS-add", 4) enter {{subst:OR|id=2011120210018792|reason=processing}} within the textbox, 5) check "Clean permissions-section?". Maybe you can take a look. Cheers & a successful new year to you, —Pill (talk) 03:50, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

A successful new year to you, too. Thanks for the report. I will focus on it ASAP. -- RE rillke questions? 15:21, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Quibot

I wanted to thank you for pointing out the problems with my bot's uploads. It did not occur to me that I should actually check that all metadata was copied. This is fixed now (the problem was caused by using jpegoptim, an absolutely unnecessary step anyway...). I also refreshed the images' thumbnails, as you suggested. I am confident enough that the problems you pointed out are resolved, so I already started uploading the images. If you feel like it, you can confirm that everything is OK (link to bot's contribs). Thanks again! —Quibik (talk) 20:43, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Wow, this was really fast. Checked & Ok. Thanks. You must be a professional. -- RE rillke questions? 21:34, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
Uhm, I hope you aren't being sarcastic? If so, I apologise, that I could not reply any sooner – It was not possible for me to work on the bot before the weekend. —Quibik (talk) 22:08, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
No, no sarcasm! Read point 6 of the rules above (assume good faith). I am happy to see a responsive, professional and helpful bot-operator. That's really rare here. Just have a look over the approval-page. And I know how difficult it is to create a proper-working bot. -- RE rillke questions? 22:28, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
Ok. Sorry about that and thanks for the kind words! :) —Quibik (talk) 00:21, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Drehdrehdreh!

Hallo Rillke, hier war es zu viel http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Volterraio_-_Ginster_und_Fels.jpg&action=history  ;-) Wahrscheinlich mittlerweile irrelevant oder eh bekannt - also nur für den Fall, dass du es noch nicht weißt, dass es da zu nem "BK" kam. Viele Grüße --Saibo (Δ) 14:43, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Ja, sorry. Da war der Bot schneller, als ich die (ziemlich große) Seite neu geladen hatte. Ich denke mir da werden so einige Dateien 2 resetexifs abbekommen haben: Immer dann wenn 2 Leute gleichzeitig an der Liste gearbeitet haben und der Rotatebot Langeweile hatte. -- RE rillke questions? 14:54, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
Hehe, ja, alles klar - wie gesagt, nur damit du es weißt, dass es das Problem gibt/gab (denn die Liste ist nun ja fertig! :-) ). Viele Grüße --Saibo (Δ) 23:30, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] per Bot eine Category hinzufügen

Moin RE rillke , vielen Dank für Deine Antwort, also es geht um meine Bilder, ich habe irgendwann angefangen Category:Images by RaBoe einzubauen, jetzt würde ich es gerne auf die "alten Bilder" ausweiten, wie viele es sind kann ich nicht sagen. ;) Des weiteren überlegt ich mir meine Bilder auch gleich so zu sortieren, das ich weiss mit welcher Kamera sie gemacht wurden, dafür habe ich ein paar Vorlagen gebaut und ebenfalls irgendwann begonnen sie einzubauen. Ich gebe zu, das sind alles nur Spielereien und ich kann gerne bis zu Wikicon warten, in der Hoffnung, das dort jemand ist, der mir das (auf Deutsch) erklären kann, denn wie schnell man einen Fehler macht, hab ich schon erlebt. ;) Tschüß und Danke Ra Boe watt?? 12:41, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Dann warte bitte bis zur Wikicon.

Also wenn in der Wikicon nicht's rauskommt, frag' noch einmal bei mir an. Es sollte möglich sein; nur macht es eben ein bisserl Arbeit. -- RE rillke questions? 13:52, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Mach ich gerne, ich warte einfach mal ab, ist ja nicht so wichtig, ich danke Dir, die Fragen und die Vorlagen werde ich schon mal ergänzen: Tschüß Ra Boe watt?? 13:58, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
Um "Hast Du das ab dann immer gemacht, oder ab und an vergessen?" besser beantworten zu können hilft sicher diese Liste. -- RE rillke questions? 14:09, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] rtl

Hi Rillke, take a look at Category:Ruhollah Khomeini. {{ar}} or {{fa}} makes the text rtl automatically, but it doesn't work when it is placed inside a collapsible box. Could you please fix it? Thanks in advance AMERICOPHILE 14:42, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Please restore my file

In December 2011, I uploaded four files of my own copyright, and set permissions correctly when uploading. One of those files you flagged for deletion, claiming (incorrectly) that permissions were not set. Your warning notice included an e-mail address where I could write to set permissions (again).

I wrote to that address, and gave permissions on this file again.

The file, CC-V3.jpg, was deleted anyway.

Please restore this file. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Keithpickering (talk • contribs) 15:57, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I am sorry for the inconvenience. We have to be careful with the copyright and to verify that you are you. Unfortunately the OTRS/support-team is very small and it takes some time to process all the e-Mails. If you wrote to this address, you got a number or a "ticket"? If not, please tell me the subject of the e-Mail you sent. Thank you. -- RE rillke questions? 16:12, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Your original message stated that I should send an e-mail to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org, which I did on January 2. I did not get any response of any kind and I have no ticket number. The subject line of my email was "File permission".

Now three more of my files have delete notices on them too. Is it actually any use to write to permissions-commons, or are you just screwing with us? Do I have to write to individual talk pages and demand satisfaction? What's the deal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Keithpickering (talk • contribs) 05:24, 12 January 2012‎ (UTC)

  1. Please sign your postings with ~~~~
  2. You could simply write on your talk-page instead of speading this. BTW, this is also suggested on top of this page.
  3. Thanks for the subject. I am going to ask whether OTRS can find your mail.

[edit] Fehler im Tool

Hallo Rainer, dein Tool ist ja der Wahnsinn! Vielen Dank dafür. Ich bekomme allerdings gerade in Chrome und Safari folgende Fehlermeldung bei „retrieving details from server“: „Error. An error occurred while exctracting tags from the page’s content ##### Error: HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ER<nicht dargestellt> DOM Exception 3“. Was mache ich falsch? Viele Grüße, --Polarlys (talk) 21:38, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Das ist eine Fehlermeldung. Also machst Du nichts falsch. Benutzt Du Monobook? In User:Polarlys/monobook.js gibt's 'nen Aufruf zu "morebits.js", siehe dazu auch die FAQ auf meiner Nutzerseite. Ich werde in den kommenden Wochen versuchen, die Probleme die dadurch verursacht werden abzustellen. Es kann aber auch was ganz anderes sein.
Bitte: Mal kurz nach Vector wechseln oder ausloggen und testen. Problem taucht trotzdem auf? Dann benötige ich folgende Angaben: -- RE rillke questions? 22:05, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Nutzer/Kategorie:
  • Skin:
Jetzt geht es. Danke :-) Was ich noch hilfreich fände: optionale Anzeige der erweiterten Bild-Informationen (information template) und eine Löschaktion. Achja, und für solche Tools sollte die Foundation den Erstellern materielle Anerkennung zukommen lassen. Grüße, --Polarlys (talk) 22:39, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
materielle Anerkennung: Nein, ich bin hier freiwillig, wie die meisten anderen und will auch nichts dafür. Allerdings wäre ich der WMF dankbar, würde sie den Projekten immer ein paar Leute zur Seite stellen (professionelle Entwickler und evtl. auch Juristen, die man fragen kann)
Löschen & Anzeige weiterer Informationen ist eigentlich Aufgabe von Gadget Gallery-Details, das Löschen funktioniert leider seit geraumer Zeit nicht (siehe dazu auch Lupos Diskussionsseite). Naja, da sowieso immer alles mit geladen wird, könnte ich es irgendwann versuchen geschickt zu integrieren. Metadaten, insbesondere Kamera&Modell werden schon bald folgen (so wie es schon in Gallery tool gemacht wird). -- RE rillke questions? 23:14, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] File:Test Wall After 4 hour Exposure at 2000f.jpg

Opticks3 spricht anscheinend für den Hersteller. Sein erstes Bild wurde allerdings wegen Urheberrechtsverletzung schnell gelöscht. Dieses Bild kam von derselben Broschüre. Anhand der Benutzerseite lässt sich mehr erkennen. Mehr sieht man auch hier. Alle verbleibenden Bilder des Benutzers stellen Produkte desselben Betriebes dar. Er hat bislang nichts anderes hochgeladen. Auf seiner Wikipedia englisch Benutzerseite versucht er die Tatsache zu verteidigen, daß ein zulassungspflichtiges Bauteil ohne Zulassung verkauft werden kann. Dann setzte er eines der Bilder (wofür er doch eine Erlaunis hat) auf einer Seite ein, die ausschließlich für zugelassene Bauteile bestimmt ist, da sie das Zulassungswesen in Nordamerika beschreibt. Zugelassen bedeutet in Deutschland DIBt zugelassen durch bestandene Prüfung und Fremdüberwachung durch ein amtliches Prüfamt. In Nordamerika erstellt das Prüfungslabor selber die Zulassung. Er benutzt also Wikipedia und Commons zu Werbezwecken unter falschen Voraussetzungen. Aber wie Túrelio schon sagte, sehen wir mal ob er darauf reagiert, das die Genehmigung des Urhebers schon zu lange aussteht. Trotz allem verstehe ich nicht, daß copyvio von anderen nachgewiesen werden muss anstatt des Benutzers der die Datei aufgeladen hat. Das ist mir etwas schleierhaft.--Achim Hering (talk) 20:02, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Hallo Achim Hering,
Nun, dass er ein Bild in der Wikipedia missbräuchlich verwendet, heißt noch lange nicht, dass wir es auf Commons löschen. Wenn die Freigabe unter einer freien Lizenz erteilt wurde, kann dieses Photo sicherlich auch andere Sachverhalte illustrieren, als vom hochladenen Nutzer angedacht. Das Photo besitzt komplette Exif-Daten und niemand war in der Lage nachzuweisen, dass der Nutzer eine Urheberrechtsverletzung begangen hat, weil es nirgendwo in höherer Auflösung verfügbar ist. Wenn man etwas kleines mit höherer Auflösung speicherst (upscaling), sieht das mit Sicherheit anders aus. Man sollte auch nicht leichtfertig andere Nutzer der Urheberrechtsverletzung anschuldigen. Das ist üble Nachrede.
Es ist doch in diesem Fall nicht vollkommen auszuschließen, dass er tatsächlich der Fotograph oder Inhaber der Rechte ist.
Wenn Microsoft-Logos, Disney-DVD-Cover o.ä. hier auftauchen, ist das ein anderer Fall. Wenn es Verdacht (aber keinen Beweis) gibt, dass der Hochlader nicht der Rechteinhaber ist, sind die Dateien mit {{subst:npd}}; bei unzureichender Quellenangabe mit {{subst:nsd}} zu kennzeichnen.
Vielen Dank für Deine interessanten Informationen. -- RE rillke questions? 21:18, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
Alles paletti. Ich sehe nicht den großen Unterschied mit Microsoft, außer der Größe der Firma vielleicht. Das Bild ist zu Werbezwecken eingesetzt worden und das Urheberrecht ist klar von der Firma vermerkt und wir warten noch monatelang auf die Erlaubnis. Aber warten wir eben ab ob die Zusage trotzdem noch kommt. Was ihm die Sache anscheinend erschwert, gemäß seiner Aussage auf Wikipedia englisch, ist das die Brandprüfung vom Inhaber der Formel gefahren wurde. Der Hersteller ist von einer anderen Firma lizensiert worden. Das heißt, das das Urheberrecht nicht beim Hersteller liegt, sondern bei der Firma, die den Hersteller mit der Formel lizensiert hat. Er kann also nicht einfach den Chef fragen, sondern braucht Zusage von dem Inhaber der lizensierten Technologie. Túrelio hat ihm ja Bescheid gesagt. Bald sehen wir was da am Bach ist. Tschüß, --Achim Hering (talk) 23:38, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] ExtraTabs2 and RemoveImageTools

Re "-RemoveImageTools (now default gadget ExtraTabs2); " - how does that work? Help:Gadget-ExtraTabs2 would seem to need updating, but I don't know what to put there. Rd232 (talk) 14:39, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Gadget-ExtraTabs2.js is default since some time (wasn't me!). This is the replacement for MediaWiki:Extra-tabs.js. MediaWiki:Gadget-RemoveImageTools.js is obsolete since it is ignored by MediaWiki:Gadget-ExtraTabs2.js. If a user does not want the links, he/she can disable MediaWiki:Gadget-ExtraTabs2.

[edit] File:NetBeansLogo.gif

The lacking of an "all rights reserved" note doesn't imply the logo is free. In fact is the opposite: the lacking of a copyright note stating the logo is free is sufficient enough to think is fully copyrighted. As of COM:TOO, the "NetBeans" legend in Impact font could be uploaded under Template:Trademarked. But as for the logo itself, I think it's original enough to meet TOO. But if you wish, I can restore the image and open a deletion request. KveD (talk) 16:14, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

The first part is clear to me. But it could have been the case that the site was licensed under a free license. Checked this with http://web.archive.org now and it was not the case. Concerning TOO, I can't make a suggestion. It is basically a cube, white bordered red lines. If no complaints arrise, I see no need for a deletion-request so it can be kept deleted. Thank you.

Thanks for your attention Rillke. Mistakenly, I uploaded a picture (Capela do Porto.jpg) which has all rights reserved (a no creative license). As you could see, I hadn´t no idea about deletion process...and I tried to delete it manually, obviously it was a failure because after I found a page with deletion policies and guide, for this reason I tagged (or I tried) this picture for elimination, if you can help me, I would be very grateful.

[edit] LicenseReview.js

I was trying to add [License OK] and [License not OK] buttons on the LR div via my common.js, but looks like your LicenseReview script is overwriting the div's innerHTML and removing the existing ones there. Can you modify your script so that it only appends or prepends the [change license] link and not overwrite the current contents? --Sreejith K (talk) 09:37, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Of course. It is a relict from User:ZooFari/licensereviewer.js. Purge your cache and enjoy the changes. A disadvantage is that the "edit-buttons" to insert special characters may not work due to AJAX loading of the edit-form. But using AJAX instead of URL parameters is much safer. All scripts that check of a URL-param and then do eval(functionname) are a bit problematic from my POV. -- RE rillke questions? 16:05, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
I saw the changes in action now. Looks nice and a lot helpful than the dropdown menu. Thanks. Now I can remove my experiments from my commons.js file. Another thanks for that too. :) --Sreejith K (talk) 05:46, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Question about user messages script

Hi Rillke. Just a question. Did you place this message with the "notify user" script, did you do it by hand or did you use another script? I'm wondering, because I would like to user other information templates too (like the ones mentioned here). I'm looking forward to your anwer. Kind regards, Trijnstel (talk) 18:48, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I did so. An example on how to add messages to the selector is on Help:Gadget-UserMessages#Custom settings (custom tags) or in my common.js.
$(document).bind('scriptLoaded', function(evt, st, o) {
        if (st) {
                if ('AxUserMsg' === st && o) {
                        o.umTemplate.push(['Autopatrolgiven', "Autopatrol given", "After giving the auto-patrol user-group", 128, "Just an information: You are now [[COM:PATROL#Autopatrolled|autopatrolled]]."]);

Hello Rainer. When can i get this feature. License review ?

I have asked this but no luck. Best Regards. --MyCanon (talk) 18:26, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

You must re-apply since it is a community-process. By the way and not so important, I wouldn't call it a feature.
When trying again, it could be helpful to explicitly announce not reviewing own uploads in future. Thanks for helping, the efforts to get permissions and for your uploads! -- RE rillke questions? 21:43, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the discussion.

Did you mean, ask for a property License review, in the future, why? --MyCanon (talk) 00:59, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi, MyCanon, I mean, when you want to be allowed to review licenses, you must go to Commons:License review/requests again. It is a community-process so I cannot simply assign you to the reviewer-usergroup. It might be possible that you don't have luck again.
Why do you want to become a license-reviewer? -- RE rillke questions? 09:22, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
To be able to review images freely. I have experience in the licenses that come from Flickr and others. But I will request License review property, At a later time. According to your word. Best Regards. --MyCanon (talk) 12:48, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Re: bug report on thumbnails with & in the name

Hi, I'm hoping you're the same Rillke as showed up in IRC to report a bug with the Swift deploy around thumbnails with & in the name. (If not, please accept my apology and ignore this note.  ;) ) Thank you for the bug report! After digging for a bit AaronSchulz and I found that in some cases, Swift was unencoding portions of the URL. Some of the cases in which it unencoded bits of the url (specifically, %26 aka &) didn't match what the backend expected and the 404 was generated. We've committed and deployed code to re-encode the URL before sending it back for resizing. Please let me know if it does or doesn't fix the problem in all the cases you tried; my tests indicate that it's doing ok. Of course, maybe it will break some other image names! Thanks again for your help testing the system, and please let me know if you have any more issues or comments. -maplebed aka Bhartshorne (talk) 03:07, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

I wonder if there is a place where I can get help for the most ridiculous questions of how things work like for example where to put a template and how to use it and things relating to the most basic knowledge needed to partipate better. Like I don't know if I am not deleting the former message by posting mine and such things... I only know very limited functions and that's frustrating. Und ich möchte noch dazu sagen dass ich mich gefreut habe dass Sie sich so viel Mühe geben um andere zu helfen. Vielen Dank. Dinkum (talk) 19:11, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

  • Gerne. Fragen, auch ganz einfache, kannst Du im Commons:Forum, Commons:Bistro oder auf dem Commons:Helpdesk stellen.
  • If toolserver is down (=toolserver.org is not working), tools like the gallery that are hosted on toolserver are not working properly. Other things work, like uploading images or downloading them. To download an image, go to the file-description page (e.g. File:Red Apple.jpg) and rightclick on the image. Then click "save target in" (for the full resolution) or "save image in" for the version currently displayed.
  • Where to put a template: This depends on the context and the template.
  • Each page has a "view history"-tab on the top (next to edit). If you want to find out whether you (or someone else) deleted something, click on it, find the username (e.g. yours) and click "prev" in the same row. Now you can compare (I admit it looks ugly) what the user has added with one edit.
  • If you want to be sure not to delete anything or you don't want to get "edit-conflicts" (=page is edited the same time by 2 users), you can use the "add section"-tab from the top to create such a new section like this. The heading/summary you enter will be automatically transformed to a new section: == subject you have entered == Each talk-page has such a tab. You find all your contributions in Special:MyContributions. There is a link to your contributions close to the login link.
  • Discover and learn from other users. There are also Help resources on Commons and on Wikipedia.
  • You can also ask here any time. -- RE rillke questions? 21:41, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Maintainer

I'd be very glad to do technical maintainance as I do on enwiki, but my chances of becoming an admin here are pretty slim, as I don't even have a (good) camera, or even anything interesting to upload, which seems to be a requirement. So I remain limited to requesting protected edits. — Edokter (talk) — 23:04, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

No one failed because he didn't take great photos here. You would presumably fail because you were not active enough in the Commons-namespace. And that's the problem people do not see. -- RE rillke questions? 14:12, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Answer question on my talk page

Hello Rillke

Can you help me with the question of Redcifer on my talk page. I think it is written in German language. Thank you in advance--Morning Sunshine (talk) 05:27, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
That was French. I know that all the latin/ Indo-European languages look the same for users from countries using other letters/ writing systems. So don't worry :-) -- RE rillke questions? 14:09, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Script request

I was looking for a way of finding all uncategorized files in Category:Malayalam loves Wikimedia event - 2012. Do you know of any scripts that can do that? I can try to do that with API but too lazy to start something from scratch now if anything is already available. :) --Sreejith K (talk) 09:51, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Hmmm. Don't know if one of Magnus' tools is able to do the job. Docu often uses them. Otherwise You may use VisualFileChange for this task. Click here to start. If you point over the "c" it displays all categories. And you can (de-)select files with additional categories using cute selction (matches wikitext \[\[Category:) and increase the number of loaded files with each scroll down in the advanced config.
But often categories are too general or wrongly spelled. You may ask Multichill whether he can run his bot over the category ignoring the category itself. -- RE rillke questions? 10:08, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
VisualFileChange is dangerous because it does not show me what are the changes it is going to do when I click the button. I think I will use AWB to cycle the list or I will use categorymembers api to get the list of files and then loop through them though some script which I need to make. --Sreejith K (talk) 16:48, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
Since most of them need real categories or spellings fixed, it might be the best to view them individually, yes. -- RE rillke questions? 18:41, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Commons:Village_pump#Enhancing_Image_Usability

Hi Rillke, the discussion at Commons:Village_pump#Enhancing_Image_Usability made me think of your gallery script. How hard would it be to adapt the popup code you have there to do something like that? I think especially for browsing categories it would be useful. Rd232 (talk) 00:20, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

If there would be a suggestion for a concrete implementation ... Should the pop-up appear when hovering or when clicking. -- RE rillke questions? 15:21, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
Google Images was mentioned as an example, so hovering. Like here. Rd232 (talk) 17:13, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
Should the magnifying ratio be fixed, a user setting, ... ? Should additional information be displayed? -- RE rillke questions? 17:56, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
I was really thinking the popup could look very similar to your gallery script popup. Of course that doesn't involve magnification. Could it be a sensible proportion of the window width? Or maybe it would be better to pick one of the existing thumbnail sizes for a given image, and display that (based on what will fit in the window)? Rd232 (talk) 18:06, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
I guess you're too busy with other stuff to do something new... I was just hoping that with code reuse it would be relatively easy. Rd232 (talk) 11:27, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
It's more and more getting a full-time-job. But this should be not too difficult. I just want to get the renameLink and the check-categories-auto-removal (will display a dialog if it detects the template that prompts for the action; just in case someone categorizes and the categories must be checked, through) ready before. But of course you can ask someone else, if you find one willing to do it. -- RE rillke questions? 14:10, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

[edit] licenseRecognization regular expressions

Hi there! A quick (?) question. I'm looking at your code, and wondering a bit about the regular expressions. You do things like: /Category:PD[\- _]Old.*/ – why the need for [\- _] instead of just the hyphen? Is it sometimes replaced by a space or an underscore? If so, shouldn't /Category:CC[\- _]BY-SA.*/ do the same thing also for the second hyphen? Thanks! /Skagedal (talk) 22:10, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Yes, that's presumably wrong. I think I checked the API where every nonsense that ever existed is listed. Making your regular expressions not too strict may catch user's stupidity or later changes while unlikely in licensing templates. -- RE rillke questions? 22:23, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
Allright, thanks for the allcategories links! I was looking through all the license categories that exist *now*, and, oh god... there are... many. /Skagedal (talk) 23:45, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
By the way, if you intend to re-use the images you must be careful with the attribution requests that some templates include: E.g. {{cc-by-sa-3.0|attribution=...}}. Some users here seem to like sending dissuasion letters. -- RE rillke questions? 22:29, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Very nice, yes! I discovered some of these template ids/CSS classes, Magnus' code in MediaWiki:Gadget-Stockphoto.js uses them. Great to have a help page that documents them. What I have now is some working Python code that (supposedly) does exactly the same as the Stockphoto code. Will put up some documentation of it also.

Are you on secure.wikimedia.org? I'm getting them, too: while editing, deleting, moving files but one told me this would be related to secure.wikimedia.org and I should use the new https://commons.wikimedia.org instead, (what I am not doing due to my laziness).

Meh - just for info. Not any faster but no 502s, on the other hand on a few images it told me that it couldn't delete the images because someone had done so - ME! So a difference in messages and nothing else :) --Herby talk thyme 16:37, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me edit it. But I only plan to lay my hands on such widely used scripts only after I learn the media wiki syntax in detail. In the interim, I am happy reporting errors and asking for modifications on your talk page. :). Btw, a quick question. Is there a way I can test my changes without saving the scripts? I do not want to break anything while testing. --Sreejith K (talk) 12:16, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
Yes, you can: Nearly each browser has some developer tools now: Firebug, Dragonfly, ... They all have a JavaScript console. Some of them support to switch to "multi-line" mode. Then you can copy the whole code, remove the "guards" (these are the if-statements that prevent that a script is executed multiple times (User:Rillke/LicenseReview.js doesn't have one but e.g. MediaWiki:Gadget-AjaxQuickDelete.js has if (typeof AjaxQuickDelete !== 'undefined' || namespaceNumber < 0) return;) and click execute. (Firebug: Console → Red button with arrow(⇑) → paste on the right side → execute) (Dragonfly: Ctrl + Shift + I (to launch) → Console → Shift+Enter (to multiline)) -- RE rillke questions? (ریلکه) (里尔克) (リルケ) 12:41, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
I have been using firebug for testing small changes to scripts, but has never tested something as big as your licenseReview script. May be I will give it a shot the next time I want an enhancement. Thanks for the help. --Sreejith K (talk) 14:03, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

[edit] File:Mezek Fortress 2011 PD 097.JPG

Hi Rillke, ich habe Probleme mit dem Beschreibungstext. Ich wollte einfach den Beschreibungstext von File:Mezek Fortress 2011 PD 096.JPG rüberkopieren, aber das geht irgendwie nicht. Ich hatte alle Bilder von Category:Mezek Fortress mit Commons hochgeladen, war aber wegen "Zeitüberschreitung" (oder so was) 3x hängen geblieben. Dabei ist wahrscheinlich der Beschreibungstext kaputt gegangen. Wo das Problem jetzt liegt, weiß ich nicht.

[edit] What's a "deleted revision" on the gallery tool?

Hi! Your gallery tools shows that one of my uploads is "deleted revision", what does that mean? It would appear the file is there. Palosirkka (talk) 21:50, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for this. It is because MediaWiki (the server software here) does not give me any chance to list all your uploads easily. Instead GalleryTool looks up your upload log and then it gathers information about images (categories, size, ...) and then displays.
In this case, the log entry is from 2012-03-03 13:43:34 while the file version is from 2012-03-03 13:42:52 -- a difference of > 40s. So the tool assumes that the file uploaded 13:43:34 was deleted but it sees that the file still exists so it assumes, it is a deleted revision, which is wrong in this case. I could decrease the number of false-as-deleted-shown-files by increasing the time-delta-tolerance (currently 35s) but this could also cause trouble when a user uploaded a file twice in-between a short time.
You may vote on bugzilla:30522 to get MediaWiki providing a complete list of your uploads.
What is a deleted revision: Administrators can delete file revisions. They do so in case of copyright violations or other issues without deleting the whole page. -- RE rillke questions? 22:16, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
Hey, no need to be sorry! And thanks for the thorough explanation. I was just a wee bit worried my image were gone, perhaps because of something I'd done. Glad it's not the case. :) Your tool is pretty cool. I'll probably go vote now. Thanks again and take care! Palosirkka (talk) 17:37, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

[edit] RenameLink

Hi Rillke, I've been getting a cascade of script errors recently (affecting lots of scripts), and after deactivating RenameLink, the only script I had installed manually (as opposed to gadget) it seems to have stopped. Rd232 (talk) 17:30, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Aargh, still getting them (might be a caching issue...) Rd232 (talk) 17:33, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
Are you sure it's related to this script? I think I am ready with it. Had to to add a select due to changes in the template. Hopefully nobody will revert them. -- RE rillke questions? 19:37, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
No, I'm not sure. I turned off lots of gadgets, and so far the problem hasn't reappeared. So it may well be a gadget; I'll try and figure out which one. Rd232 (talk) 21:29, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Inputboxen mit Vorschau

Hallo Rillke. Wäre es mit vertretbarem Aufwand möglich, das Framework aus Gadget-AjaxQuickDelete, welches für die Inputboxen inkl. Vorschau verantwortlich ist, auch für die de.wikipedia verfügbar zu machen? Siehe dazu de:BD:Schnark#autoantraege.js. --Leyo 20:27, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Leider habe ich überhaupt keine Ahnung, was Schnark für Boxen nutzt. Wikitext-zum-Parser-schicken ist eigentlich keine große Sache. Inzwischen gibt es dafür sogar mediawiki.api.parse, ein RL-Modul (das aber keiner (außer UploadWizard) nutzt, weil nicht dokumentiert und entwickelt nachdem alle ihre eigenen Lösungen geschrieben haben). So wie es Schnark geht, geht es mir leider auch: Zu viel Arbeit. Abgesehen davon, sind Schnakrs Lösungen immer etwas eleganter. Ich denke nicht, dass ich da mitpfuschen werde. Leider ist DieBuche auch nicht mehr oft hier und selbst simple Forderungen an die Devs werden kategorisch — aus alter Manier — abgelehnt. Lupo hat auch keine Zeit. Macht alles keinen so rechten Spaß. Am besten Du hältst mal die Augen offen, ob du jemanden für's Coden begeistern kannst. Am Anfang habe ich auch fast nur Bahnhof verstanden und viele Fehler gemacht. -- RE rillke questions? 22:14, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
Deshalb fragte ich ja nach „vertretbarem Aufwand“. :-) Ich verstehe eindeutig zu wenig von JS, um zu erkennen, ob der Code für die Inputboxen samt Previewfunktion ohne grosse Anpassungen für ein anderes Script nutzbar gemacht werden kann oder nicht. --Leyo 23:58, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I'm helping organize the Berlin hackathon, 1-3 June 2012 in Berlin, Germany.

I really am useless at Javascript. MediaWiki:Toolbox-search-link.js doesn't work. Neither does the top bit of User:Rd232/common.js (making search results open in a new window). These are really simple things, and I have examples to work from. Bah! Help? Rd232 (talk) 09:53, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

the toolbox link should just go to Special:Search. your portletlink isn't quite working at MediaWiki:Toolbox-search-link.js - I get things doubled - eg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/%2F%2Fcommons.wikimedia.orgToolbox-search-link.js%2Fw%2Findex.php?title=Special:Search or https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Rd232/%2F%2Fcommons.wikimedia.orgRd232%2Fcommon.js%2Fw%2Findex.php?title=Special:Search.

[edit] Gadget-ImprovedUploadForm oddity

For some reason it seems to be affecting the formatting of file descriptions: the SVGThumbs script is invoked twice on the pages of SVG files, and the {{information}} formatting also changes once the script is invoked. This doesn't appear to be intended behaviour, since it wasn't doing that before and the thing says it is for the upload form, though, so it's also entirely possible that it might be affecting other things as well.

Now since disabling the ImprovedUploadForm gadget makes it stop doing that and I noticed you moved recently moved that one out of the common.js, would you perhaps have some idea what's going on with this and possibly be able to fix it? — Isarra (talk) 20:21, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

[edit] VisualFileChange: files remaining

Hi Rillke. What about adding the progress status in the following way or similar? 347 files processed, 232 remaining. The green/yellow check mark and restart icons are nice, but the overview is missing somehow. --Leyo 16:33, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

✓ Done -- RE rillke questions? 21:43, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
Yes, might be useful. But in general one doesn't have those big batches very often.
BTW, you can increase the number of files to be "loaded with each batch" in the advanced configuration. Then you haven't to scroll down so often. And you don't have to do all work at once. It can crash your browser if you load too many files.
When clicking execute, your last inputs are saved and if you enter the same user/category, script will suggest to continue after the last loaded file from the last time.
VisualFileChange has an own automated clean-up module. It is currently very small and I would be happy to expand it with save, uncontroversial replacements. Clean-up replacements are only done if one of the replacements, the user entered has altered the content.
Thanks for correcting this orthography mistake in the manual. -- RE rillke questions? 17:30, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
When I did the batch custom replace yesterday, I had quite large batches. :-) The gallery-like screen switched up and down, but it was hard to guess the current progress state.
Is it possible to include subcategories? I would like to change the license templates for simple chemical structures (mostly in Category:Chemical structures and subcategories) to {{PD-chem}}. --Leyo 11:09, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
No, that's a technical limitation by the API. Otherwise one would have to do recursive API-calls. -- RE rillke questions? 11:46, 30 March 2012 (UTC)


[edit] navpop vs. cat-a-lot

hi. please review my suggestion here: MediaWiki_talk:Gadget-Cat-a-lot.js#NavPopups. note that in hewiki we modified cat-a-lot significantly, and it is used mainly for "normal" pages categories and not for file categories as it's used here - not sure what this means (e.g., is cat-a-lot doing anything in namespaces other than 14 on commons?)

peace - קיפודנחש (talk) 21:15, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Currently not but perhaps, soon. I don't think the patch is required because, as I already wrote there, cat-A-Lot is now using the link (<a href="this is used if " title=""></a>) to get page title from if the title is set to "" by navPopups. Anyway, thanks for your suggestion. -- RE rillke questions? 21:53, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi Rainer, in hindsight, a procedure's critic:
I was a bit naive, 1700 images is an enormous workload. But to ask for two categories, :Category:Unchecked and :Category:Uncategorized was right. After 100 years u have to check what the bot does.
I didn't expect Réginald alias Meneerke bloem to kill :Category:Uncategorized in 48 hours, I didn't expect this miracle ;o)
The :Category:Uncategorized should have red links and links to diambiguation pages. Categorisation "heavy" needs u fresh and in good mood ;)
The :Category:Unchecked should have the existing categories, and the :Category:Category-redirect; and as second option the :Category:"Genus" or even better :Category:Unidentified "Genus" too. This is categorisation "light" ;)
So the :Category:Uncategorized would have less than 100 images and be manageable ;o)
Thx for ur kind n nice work --Chris.urs-o (talk) 10:41, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Invitation to Berlin hackathon, and possible sponsorship

I invite you to the yearly Berlin hackathon, 1-3 June. Registration is now open. If you need financial assistance or help with visa or hotel, then please register by May 1st and mention it in the registration form.

This is the premier event for the MediaWiki and Wikimedia technical community. We'll be hacking, designing, teaching, and socialising, primarily talking about ResourceLoader and Gadgets (extending functionality with JavaScript), the switch to Lua for templates, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Labs.

We want to bring 100-150 people together, including lots of people who have not attended such events before. User scripts, gadgets, API use, Toolserver, Wikimedia Labs, mobile, structured data, templates -- if you are into any of these things, we want you to come!

I also thought you might want to know about other upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.

Check out the the developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC and our other events.

Best wishes! - Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation's Volunteer Development Coordinator. Please reply on my talk page at mediawiki.org. Sumanah (talk) 21:32, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, I forgot to mention the character of that "error" (palmface). Actually, having the review tabs in the toobox is not bad, but the problem is continuity/consistency with previous versions. Once I'm here, I'll tell one more thing (just for feedback - not a request to change). Compared with the ZooFari's script, the advantage of yours (for me) is notifying the user if the license is incompatible with Commons - very handy, especially for admins. The drawback is the pop-up window for flickr reviews suggesting to thank the author (it slows down mass reviewers like me). The majority of uploads from flickr are from "regular" authors (like Eva Rinaldi, whom I won't spam with thanking every one of her thousands of images we copy to Commons), and have no obvious license problems (FOP aside), thus I currently favor ZooFari's script.

[edit] Wikisources need a modified version of a Commons gadget

Gday Rillke. Your hatnote gives me a sense of foreboding, though maybe it is also opportunity when looking at the amazing job that you have been doing with the gadgets around the place more recently [and A BIG THANKS for all the gadget work that you have been doing].

At Commons we have the gadget MediaWiki:Gadget-ThumbnailPurger.js that allows the regeneration of thumbnails, and at the Wikisources there is a great need for that with regard to our use of Extension:ProofreadPage where we occasionally (regularly) have a failure of the thumbnail used for transcription of works, either no image or part of an image. When the thumbnail fails there is no means for WSes to regenerate the thumnail and we have to wait (days?) for the cache image to terminate which is really problematic. From my looking at the gadget here, it isn't readily transferable to enWS, especially with all the underlying componentry with another gadget here. As background, where possible at enWS we usually ResourceLoad gadgets from other sites rather than have second copies of existing tools.

I was wondering whether you would mind having a look at the gadget at Commons, and suggest means that we could use to extract or utilise to get a thumbnail purge function at the Wikisources. Once we have it working at one Wikisource, we would usually share through the others. If you are able to assist that would be marvellous, and any help would be much appreciated.

Random example of an existing transcription page s:en:Page:Science and Citizenship.djvu/15 or for a fresh page via a redlink at s:en:Index:Science and Citizenship.djvu and where we would be looking to push for a new thumbnail, and to make a note that much of this transcription work is on djvu-type files.  — billinghurst sDrewth 01:44, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello billinghurst,
I have to admit that this is my first experience with Wikisource.
Why not, but please acknoladge that my homewikis are de.wp and Commons. There is enough of workload on Commons.
So here are my first impressions, please correct them if they are wrong:
  • The files (books) are hosted on Commons. (all files?)
  • For File:Science and Citizenship.djvu
    • In (pre)view a 600px (dependent on the window-width)-thumb is loaded (by a JavaScript, namely ext.proofreadpage)
    • While editing, a bigger thumb is shown (1000px) by JavaScript.

Here is what happens when using the commons' gadget:

GET http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php
?title=Special%3AFilePath&file=FILE.EXT&width=800
RESPONSE-HEADERS
Status          301
Cache-Control   private, must-revalidate, max-age=0
Location        //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/FILE.EXT/800px-FILE.EXT

http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/includes/specials/SpecialFilepath.php?revision=112387&view=markup does not allow passing a page-parameter.

$.post('https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?titles=File:Equiseti%20herba%20178088.jpg&action=purge', 
       '', 
       function() {console.log('this will never happen from wikisource')}
);
  • Cross-site XHRs fail but the request is sent to the server and the server purges, indeed, the thumb.
  • After doing so, we simply increase the file-size by 1px to get a fresh thumb.

Re [2], I'm really not sure how that happened. I was only ever editing the section, not the whole page, but it appears the result of my edit was saved over the whole page. If I remember rightly, there was a strange edit conflict, the other edit appeared to be adding a new section and not editing the same section. Anyway, I copied by additions, went back to the full page, clicked on the section edit, re-added my comments and saved (having previously previewed before the edit conflict). Anyway thanks for fixing it :-) --Tony Wills (talk) 23:21, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
