Report request

Hello! Can someone please generate a list of files (ideally hyperlinked or in a gallery) that meet the following criteria:
1) The file page contains {{Remove border}}
2) The most recent upload contains the text "using CropTool"
This should allow me to quickly review requests for crop that have already been completed, as CropTool didn't remove that template during its early history. Thanks! The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 12:13, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

translation

hi, i want to translate the village pump and welcome in punjabi language (pa), that appears in the sidebar. Punjabi translations of these are

  1. Village Pump - ਸੱਥ
  2. Welcome - ਜੀ ਆਇਆਂ ਨੂੰ

KuldeepBurjBhalaike (Talk) 13:10, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

This relates to MediaWiki:Sidebar and its Punjabi language interface. Our Village Pump doesn't appear to have a Punjabi language variant, but COM:Welcome (See {{Lang-VP}}) has an attempted little translation at Commons:ਜੀ ਆਇਆਂ ਨੂੰ. You'd need to adopt the Village Pump at Commons:ਸੱਥ (by attempting Village Pump's Punjabi language translation), and for Welcome, I believe I have set-up the messages at MediaWiki:Welcome/pa and MediaWiki:Welcome-url/pa. It should appear on the interface. Please let me know if this helps. ─ Aafī (talk) 14:23, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-10

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

  • The Special:Book page (as well as the associated "Create a book" functionality) provided by the old Collection extension has been removed from all Wikisource wikis, as it was broken. This does not affect the ability to download normal books, which is provided by the Wikisource extension. [1]
  • Wikitech now uses the next-generation Parsoid wikitext parser by default to generate all pages in the Talk namespace. Report any problems on the Known Issues discussion page. You can use the ParserMigration extension to control the use of Parsoid; see the ParserMigration help documentation for more details.
  • Maintenance on etherpad is completed. If you encounter any issues, please indicate in this ticket.
  • Gadgets allow interface admins to create custom features with CSS and JavaScript. The Gadget and Gadget_definition namespaces and gadgets-definition-edit user right were reserved for an experiment in 2015, but were never used. These were visible on Special:Search and Special:ListGroupRights. The unused namespaces and user rights are now removed. No pages are moved, and no changes need to be made. [2]
  • A usability improvement to the "Add a citation" in Wikipedia workflow has been made, the insert button was moved to the popup header. [3]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 5 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 6 March. It will be on all wikis from 7 March (calendar). [4][5]

Future changes

  • All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on March 20. This is planned at 14:00 UTC. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [6]
  • The HTML markup of headings and section edit links will be changed later this year to improve accessibility. See Heading HTML changes for details. The new markup will be the same as in the new Parsoid wikitext parser. You can test your gadget or stylesheet with the new markup if you add ?useparsoid=1 to your URL (more info) or turn on Parsoid read views in your user options (more info).

Automatically Counting Images in Section

Is there a way to automatically count the number of files in a page section and have it displayed somewhere on the page? I have a gallery section with a number of subsections on my userpage and for reference purposes it would be useful to have a way to know how many files are in each section without having to manually count them. –Noha307 (talk) 00:57, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

You seem to use {{Gallery}}. It’s technically possible to expand the template to support your use case, although I’m not sure if it’s worth making a template used on thousands of pages more complicated just because of one page. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 09:58, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
you could adapt w:Module:Table row counter for this. Enhancing999 (talk) 10:01, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

The 5MB bug

Last Wed I fixed a bug (phab:T350917) where files uploaded with chunked uploads would have their last chunk missing (Often called the 5MB bug because upload wizard uses 5MB chunks, so usually such files are a multiple of 5MB). This is not the first time this bug has been fixed, but I'm hopeful this fix is a bit more robust. So far no new files with this issue have been uploaded, where previously we were averaging about 2 a day. Anyhow, the reason I'm writing here is there are a bunch of files that are cut-off from before the fix went in. I'm not sure if someone wants to tell their authors, or delete them, or something. There is a list at https://quarry.wmcloud.org/query/80784# (Its possible there could be false positives on this list, but it seems like most are true positives). Bawolff (talk) 05:18, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

thx a lot for fixing it.
a few years ago such files have been added to Category:Incomplete JPG files (5 MB interruption). more recent buggy uploads over the last few years can be added to this too, ideally simultaneously with a reminder sent to their user talk pages.--RZuo (talk) 09:42, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

SDC duplicator？

How to exclude redirects in search results？

Background not showing up in SVG previews

For some reason the background is not showing up correctly in SVG files I recently uploaded, e.g. File:Finnish dialect location map - southwestern dialects.svg (and 6 others). They're supposed to have the water (light blue) as the background, and it shows up correctly when I open the SVG file in my browser, but not in any of the generated previews, where it is either transparent or solid black. I think it is an issue in the SVG file, but I'm not sure what it is. — SURJECTION / T / C / L / 15:23, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

@Surjection:
The background is created with 
<rect class="sea background" width="960" height="1558" rx="" ry=""/>
Which is not supplying a number for rx or ry. I removed the attributes and the sea appears.
The class information is also conflicting. The "sea" wants to be stroked, but the "background" does not.

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 March. It will be on all wikis from 14 March (calendar). [7][8]
  • After consulting with various communities, the line height of the text on the Minerva skin will be increased to its previous value of 1.65. Different options for typography can also be set using the options in the menu, as needed. [9]
  • The active link color in Minerva will be changed to provide more consistency with our other platforms and best practices. [10]
  • Structured data on Commons will no longer ask whether you want to leave the page without saving. This will prevent the “information you’ve entered may not be saved” popups from appearing when no information have been entered. It will also make file pages on Commons load faster in certain cases. However, the popups will be hidden even if information has indeed been entered. If you accidentally close the page before saving the structured data you entered, that data will be lost. [11]

Future changes

  • All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on March 20. This is planned at 14:00 UTC. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [12][13]

TimedText select list loss

There is no Montenegrin language (crnogorski cnr) in select language list of TimedText pages. how to fix this? ITZQing (talk) 11:02, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

you need to write on phab:. you can make one for your language like phab:T354201. RZuo (talk) 12:55, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Lossless crop assistance

File:MartzAction41A-1-.PNG has specific cropping instructions that I have never seen before with suggestion for lossless tools. I would like assistance in cropping this into 4:3 (630px wide) and/or 3:2 (560px wide) proportions using such a tool.-TonyTheTiger (talk) 11:16, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

That file is a png, so cropping with pretty much any tool is going to be lossless. I assume that is why the template limits its recommendations for lossless tools with the note "if cropping a JPEG...". —RP88 (talk) 11:22, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
I have extracted with Photo. What do I need to do regarding the metadata to follow the instructions?-TonyTheTiger (talk) 13:13, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
I think you've already done it. Since the "copy this file metadata" link is just an edit link for the source file, I am pretty sure the template just wants to make sure you copy the contents of the {{Information}} from the source file to the new file. One quibble I would have is that the request was to "Crop to show the woman with the ball" but your cropped file shows both women. I think the goal of the requestor is to have a image of just Jennifer Martz that can be used at d:Q6178597 where it is not ambiguous as to which of the two women in the original image is Jennifer Martz. —RP88 (talk) 13:38, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
User:RP88, Notice that my crop removed a front facing teammate of Martz'. I think that would be the more important secondary subject to worry about. I think considerations of the backward facing person are less relevant.-TonyTheTiger (talk) 00:04, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

  • IP info feature displays data from Spur, an IP addresses database. Previously, the only data source for this feature was MaxMind. Now, IP info is more useful for patrollers. [15]
  • The Toolforge Grid Engine services have been shut down after the final migration process from Grid Engine to Kubernetes. [16][17][18]
  • Communities can now customize the default reasons for undeleting a page by creating MediaWiki:Undelete-comment-dropdown. [19]

Logging usage of ajax quickdelete.

"According to Exif data"

I have just discovered the According to Exif data and in the talk page, the user @Arnd had an interesting idea: to use a bot which will automatically add the EXIF data in the template. Would this be possible? Thanks, Erick Soares3 (talk) 20:12, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

I am running my bot from time to time to add missing dates to the template. To find the files i perform a search like insource:/According to Exif data *\}\}/. Would be nice to have a maintenance category for it. Regards, --Arnd 🇺🇦 (talk) 08:34, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Image appears but doesn't appear although appear

Tarapaca Campaign.svg

In es:Guerra del Pacífico the image File:Tarapaca Campaign.svg doesn't appear but in es:Desembarco y combate de Pisagua the image appears. I guess it is some SVG irregularity in the SVG-Format of the image: the last thumbs in its common-history also doesn't appear. Does any one know the reason?. --Juan Villalobos (talk) 11:57, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Sense of which shows is flipped? Guerra del Pacífico shows the image, but Desembarco y combate de Pisagua does not?
view-source:https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desembarco_y_combate_de_Pisagua has
src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d2/Tarapaca_Campaign.svg/300px-Tarapaca_Campaign.svg.png"
which should link to https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d2/Tarapaca_Campaign.svg/300px-Tarapaca_Campaign.svg.png
That image is good. ?action=purge of the es.Wiki page did not fix it.
Purging on the Commons file page kills the displayed main image (making it match the history thumbs).
Now the image does not display on Guerra del Pacifico.
Loading the PNG directly shows a server error.
At least everything is consistently broken.
