Localization of Montage

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T157878

Hi, Would it be possible to have Montage added to Translatewiki.net to have the interface available in other languages? There has been a task asking for that since 2017, but no reaction from anyone so far. Thanks in advance. /Axel Pettersson (WMSE) (talk) 10:55, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T310144

Ping on this issue, and also the newly created T310144 about implementing Disqualify coordinators/organizers as it would be helpful. /Axel Pettersson (WMSE) (talk) 12:38, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Ping @Ciell. Any news on theese tasks? /Axel Pettersson (WMSE) (talk) 08:05, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Axel Pettersson (WMSE)! We are looking for a front-end dev, and localisation is definitly one of the main priorities. I cannot promise to have it ready for the WLM 2023 edition, but who knows...! Ciell (talk) 14:44, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

Is there more documentation anywhere?

The documentation leaves some questions which I cannot find answers to. Like for yes/no it only asks for a quorum number.

1. Does that mean [two] votes each and the organizer determines what to do with the results?
2. Will it automatically divide the images to ensure each image is voted on by two people?
3. What do the results look like for the different kinds of voting? Just a straightforward csv with like filename, juror name, and yes/no/rating?
4. Is the expectation that that csv (or whatever) will be manipulated and then serve as a file list for the next round? Is there a WMF-hosted site to upload it? Thanks. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  16:42, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi Rhododendrites I have only been a campaign creator since last year, and I have not came accross more documentation. The devs are my fall back, as I am yours now, so let me see how far I get!

1. Montage will let you set the threshold for the next round: if you as a coordinator can select if one vote out of two is enough to go to the second (rating) round, or if both (or 'all') jurors will have to agree = threshold.
2. Yes, all 'tasks' (nmbr of images x number in quorum) will be spread out over all jurors. They will not have to, and can't, judge the same image twice.
3. Nope, once in the campaign the first round is activated, all the images that are needed are pulled into Montage, and you can create several rounds from the previous ones automatically.

Montage enables you to set up a ranking round for the jurors once you've got less than 51 images left. That ranking round will come out as a cvs (though I've seen that Excel 2019 struggles with it, you may want to use Libre office, google spreadsheet - or use a different open tool to convert the file so you can use excel. Let me know if you want me to download and convert the results for you.

1. ...? Maybe the previous answer answered this one as well...?

Best, Ciell (talk) 20:16, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

1 - Example text - Is this selected afterwards? I don't see an option for this.

3 - I'm still not clear about this. It would help if there were documentation about the kinds of options available to coordinators after the round. I presume there's a lot more that's presently hidden from me. I guess I'll just move forward with the first round and see what happens?

Thanks — Rhododendrites ^talk |  20:53, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

@Rhododendrites if you create a small sample size category (with ~20 images), I can set up a simulated campaign for you so you can try the process.

1 - when setting up a second or third round, you a the coordinator can decide the threshold of images that will go to this next round.

3 - there are three options: yes/no is always the first round, then you will create as many rating rounds as needed to get to the final 50 images or less, and you always end with a ranking round. Ciell (talk) 10:05, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Wikivacaciones 2023 (Colombia)

Hello, @Ciell

I would like to request access to the Montage platform for the purpose of evaluating the Wikivacaciones 2023 campaign. This campaign took place from December 4, 2023, to January 31, 2024.

Campaign Details:

Campaign Name: Wikivacaciones 2023

• Commons:Wikivacaciones 2023
• Category:Wikivacaciones 2023

I will be the campaign coordinator within Montage, my username is Sara Idarraga (WMCO) and the jury assigned are as follows:

Juror 1: Libardomm Juror 2: JOAN Juror 3: Kaicen7

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sara Idarraga (WMCO) (talk) Sara Idarraga (WMCO) (talk) 22:00, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Sara Idarraga (WMCO),

Omg, I think I have just fallen in LOVE with your landing page design!!

I have set up the Montage campaign for you here: wikivacaciones-2023. You will notice the page is still empty, this is because you will need to set up the rounds and assign the jury members yourself. More information is in the Montage manual.

Happy judging! Ciell (talk) 17:44, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Ciell

Hahaha, it's nice to know that you like our work :)

Thank you very much for your help.

Sara Idarraga (WMCO) (talk) 20:33, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Vizag 2024 Montage request

Hello @Ciell, I've recently coordinated a contest called Wiki Loves Vizag 2024. This campaign ran from January 21st, 2024, to March 5th, 2024. You can find the uploaded media at Images from Wiki Loves Vizag 2024 category. We've categorized the images into five sub-categories, and Round one will involve selecting images from these subcategories. The second round will entail selecting images from those chosen in Round 01. I'll be serving as the coordinator for this campaign. Thank you very much. --iMahesh (talk) 09:31, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi @iMahesh, let me make sure I am understanding your request correctly:

The easiest for Montage is to have all eligible images in one category, so it can pull these into the tool. Does this mean you would like to have separate campaigns for the 5 different topics you specified in the subcategories? Ciell (talk) 11:44, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Yes, it seems like we might require 5 campaigns for the 5 subcategories under Wiki Loves Vizag 2024: Nature, Built-forms, Transportation, Culture & History and Miscellaneous, followed by a single campaign to vote for 3 winners from the selected 15 images. Although this process may appear complex, it was communicated to the participants before the contest that each subcategory would receive 3 selected images, so we should adhere to that. In the future, we'll strive for better resolution and clarity in contest rules. --iMahesh (talk) 12:32, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks @iMahesh. This is not a problem at all for Montage, I just needed to be sure I understood the request and have the specifics. :)

I think I see on your landing page that the campaign ran in IST, so UTC -5.5: I have set the times for the Montage campaigns accordingly, and here are your campaigns:

• wiki-loves-vizag-2024-nature
• wiki-loves-vizag-2024-construction
• wiki-loves-vizag-2024-transport
• wiki-loves-vizag-2024-history
• wiki-loves-vizag-2024-miscellaneous
• wiki-loves-vizag-2024-finale

Ciell (talk) 05:22, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the campaigns. But when I try to start one using the Category, it starts with being paused and when I resume, it says "Bad Request: can not activate empty round, try importing entries first". This happens only with entries related to Nature, rest 4 campaigns are working fine. --iMahesh (talk) 18:31, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi @iMahesh, I am not sure what's causing this: let me pass on the case to the Montage devs and get back to you. Ciell (talk) 18:55, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi @iMahesh & Ciell Same issue here (WLF 2024 in Italy). I have some screenshots, maybe can help. Camelia (talk) 18:06, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks Camelia, I have forwarded your screenshots as well. I hope they have time soon to look into this. Ciell (talk) 18:57, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

@Camelia.boban: yours is ready now! I created a new round after our dev did his magic (it's a rare, but known bug), so please check if I applied your settings correctly again. Ciell (talk) 18:19, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

@Ciell It works now, thk :-*. Camelia (talk) 09:21, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Great. @IM3847 your campaign for the Nature category should also work now, please go ahead and try to set up the first round, and let me know the result. Ciell (talk) 10:49, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Nevermind, I see you already managed. Ciell (talk) 10:52, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
