Commons:Structured data/Computer-aided tagging/Blocklist

 Request new items on the talk page.

Purpose of the blocklist

The Suggested Tags feature receives suggestions from a machine learning system built by Google. Some of those suggestions are not quite suitable for Commons for various reasons, so the teams developing the tool implemented a blocklist feature that excludes them when they are suggested.

There is currently a known issue where tags for some files don’t get updated when the blocklist does. We’re working on a solution for that, but most new uploads will not be affected.

The blocklist feature exists behind the scenes, so for now items can be added to the blocklist by developers. Editors can request blocklist additions on this talk page.

Blocklist

The canonical list actually lives in InitialiseSettings.php, so this list may be out of date.

Implementation

This blocklist is currently implemented via the $wgMachineVisionWikidataIdBlacklist config variable in InitialiseSettings.php. The code that handles the actual filtering lives in GoogleCloudVisionClient::filterIdBlocklist() in the MachineVision extension.

WithHoldImageList

In addition to the blocklist, as part of a temporary hold on images of people, the system utilizes a separate list of identifiers that indicate a person is in the image and the image should be excluded from the suggestion queue. This list is currently implemented via the $wgMachineVisionWithholdImageList config variable in InitialiseSettings.php.
