Bot's tasks for which permission is being sought: Tasks related to the contests "Wiki loves Earth" (in Russia) and "Wiki loves monuments" (in Russia).

Images uploded for these contests must comply with certain rules: the minimum resolution must be at least 2Mpx, the photo must include the identifier of nature or cultural heritage monument. The bot's task is to add the category "Low-res submissions..." or "Submissions with invalid id ..." for photos that do not meet these criteria. It is believed that the author of the photo will pay attention to this change and will be able to adjust his upload before the end of the competition. It is also a little help for the jury members of these contests.

Automatic or manually assisted: Automatic.

Edit type (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): During WLE/WLM seasons, once a day.

Maximum edit rate (e.g. edits per minute): up to 12 edits per minute

Bot flag requested: (Y/N): N

Programming language(s): PHP

Low-resolution photos tagging looks OK for me. Did you encounter files with invalid identifier? I think will be good idea also to notify user on talk page. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:30, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Fortunately, so far only one photo has been uploaded with the wrong ID: [2]
The idea of ​​notifying the participants explicitly about these problems did not occur to me.
On the one hand, contributors uploading low-res photos may do this deliberately, as photographers do when they don't want to lose their commercial income from high-res photos. Therefore, obviously pedaling about it seems bad manners to me.
On the other hand, incorrect SPNA identifiers are most often found in uploads by newbie participants. In this case, it is unlikely that they will be able to find the correct identifier without assistance. Usually our volunteers (among the participants of the Russian Wikivoyage) track such downloads and fix them.
However, it really might be worth organizing an alert for these issues if they turn out to be uncorrected one week before the end of the competition. I think this can be done not regularly, but only twice: a week before the end of the competition and on the last day. Avsolov (talk) 19:26, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see pedaling in notification :-) Newbies may be unaware about watch list or could disable adding their uploads into watch list. So message on talk page will notify them about status of uploads on early stages, just to avoid surprises later. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:37, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that it is worth notifying users on their talk page as well. I think twice will be enough: a week before the end and on the last day. It makes no sense to generate an alert for every upload. Avsolov (talk) 22:19, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds reasonable, but please make test run now. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 13:56, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Here it is: [3]
However, I discussed this issue with other organizers and we agreed that it is not necessary to practice the notification about low resolution photos in principle — tagging is enough. Nevertheless, notifications can be useful for photos with invalid ID or missing coordinates. Avsolov (talk) 21:06, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Please add newline before message header. I could suggest organizers to recall times when they were newbies - did they know intuitively where to look when encountered problem? :-) --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:23, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Another newline before message header: [4] Avsolov (talk) 18:49, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Looks OK for me. Or maybe English translation could be omitted if file name and description composed mostly in Cyrillic characters? --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:02, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think there are many ways to choose a suitable language for a message. You have suggested a recipe that works in most cases. However, at the moment I see no reason to implement this feature, because the organizers of WLx do not intend to use this part of the script for notifications. Avsolov (talk) 22:00, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good to me. --Krd 06:25, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If there are no objections, I think task should be approved. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:01, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
