This is a centralised report page for bugs related to user-developed Commons:Tools (including but not limited to gadgets, bots, user scripts...). For bugs related to the Mediawiki software or wikis operated by the Wikimedia Foundation, please file reports on phab:.

Please file bug reports at the bottom of this page. They will be assessed and then grouped according to different priorities:

  • Unbreak Now!: urgent bugs that paralyse Commons operation.
  • High: serious bugs that affect large parts of Commons.
  • Medium: bugs for which circumvention or alternatives are inefficient.
  • Low: bugs for which circumvention or alternatives are possible.

See also grouping of tools in the Commons:Tools/Directory. Generally, the lower the grouping of a tool, the lower priority of its bugs.


The following pages may be more suitable for discussion of other topics:

FlickreviewR 2 bot, size not found[edit]

Tool: User:FlickreviewR 2

Problem: it sometimes has hiccups and returns size not found, e.g. File:12.17 總統接見「美國退伍軍團協會總會長賴斯塔德訪團」 (46350888361).jpg File:Rome 2015 95 2 (20570268974).jpg.

Solution: temporary: i think it'll be a good idea to run the bot thru Category:Flickr images needing human review (for everything, or better only for files that were created with the tags "flickr" or "flickr2commons [1.0]") once a month. or another bot can reinsert {{Flickrreview}} to such files. this can minimise congestion in the human queue.

longterm: fix the problem that leads to "size not found" error in the first place.

Search bug[edit]

Hi since this afternoon (CET) i can't get searchresults like this test shows : https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?search=Cat%3AAdrie+V%C3%BCrtheim&title=Special:Search&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&ns0=1&ns4=1&ns6=1 It happens for me in two different browsers tested, so it is probably not a local error on userside. I hope this can be resolved soon, because it is a show stopper. I managed to work around it and create the cat. But the error (and message) is still confusing.
