Hi Tacsipacsi. What is the translation of Saját fotó? My own photo (photograph that belongs to me) or Self-made photograph? --Leyo 19:46, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Szia! beírtam a megfelelőt. Üdv. Tambo (talk) 05:53, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Ránéznél erre?

Szia! File:Timár József.jpg képet azonnali törlésre jelölték, hogy jogsértő. A kép 1934-ben készült. Mivel nem tudok angolul, nem tudom mi a teendő. Segítenél? A szerzői jog tulajdonosa a fotós, aki ismeretlen. Megadtam a forrást ahol pontosan látni ezeket. A darab rendezője miért szerezne szerzői jogot erre a képre? Üdv.

Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. INeverCry 21:49, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Autotranslate at Template:CommonsStats

Please note that {{Autotranslate}} always passes all arguments to the subpages, even if they are empty. Therefore, for example {{{main-bg|white}}} must be changed to {{#if:{{{main-bg|}}}|{{{main-bg}}}|white}} at Template:CommonsStats/layout to restore the old behaviour. Hope this helps. More information is available at Help:Autotranslate#Language subpages: /en, /de, /fr, ... -- Rillke^(q?) 07:44, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Kategorizálás

Helló Tacsipacsi!

Elkezdtem a régebbi képeimet átdolgozni, mert palettát váltottam és az általam gyengébbnek értékelteket szeretném átdolgozni. Érthetelennek tartottam, miért nem találom a képeim egy részét, pedig tudtam hogy vannak valahol. Aztán nagy nehezen rájöttem, hogy a Pictures by Madboy74 kategóriát sok helyről kitörölted. A pontos okát nem értem, de ezzel eléggé lelassítottad a munkámat. Visszaállítgattam amiket a közreműködéseidből vissza tudtam keresni, de koránt sem ennyinek kéne lenni. Ha van olyan amit még te töröltél, kérlek állítsd vissza, mert nekem arra szükségem van, hogy át tudjam látni az összeset egészében és egyben megkérnélek arra, hogy a jövőben ezt ne tedd mégegyszer. Már annyi képet kéne átlátnom, amennyit normál körülmények között is nehezen tudok és még lesznek újak bőven. Üdv: Madboy74 (talk) 23:30, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

@Madboy74: Én nem emlékszem ilyenre, de bocsánatot kérek, és próbálok a jövőben figyelni erre. Még egy tipp: a Saját feltöltéseim speciális lapon láthatod, hogy milyen képeket töltöttél fel (ha a később felülírtakat is szeretnéd, akkor az AllMyUploads kell neked). --Tacsipacsi (talk) 14:42, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Köszönöm a Fájlista linket, nagyon hasznos volt! Az összes fájl mutatása túl sokat találatot adott és így alig láttam át. Üdv: Madboy74 (talk) 17:21, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Template:OpenStreetMap

Hi. Don't you see, that data is wrong?

| top            = 23.3404
| bottom         = 23.1432
| left           = 77.2796
| right          = 77.5176

See in Example section:

Geotemporal data Bounding box N: 23.1432°N W: 77.2796°E LibreOffice 3.4 tango icon lc arrowshapes.quad-arrow.png E: 77.5176°E S: 23.3404°N

You have damaged the data - is that OK? pjahr @ 10:15, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

No, of course, it's not OK. I'm sorry, I thought that your problem is that the geotemporal data section appears always and I didn't search for other bugs. I have to think about the solution, and I will correct the template before restoring the {{Map}}-based version. Also, please post your latter comments on the template's talk page so that everybody knows about them who watches the talk page. Thanks and sorry again! --Tacsipacsi (talk) 01:16, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

@Pjahr: OK, I understood your problem and found that it's not an error: it means (e.g.) “The east side of the map is 77.5176° East of Greenwich”, so the two E(ast)s and N(orth)s have different meanings. I restore the autotranslated version. --Tacsipacsi (talk) 22:48, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

It is still wrong. Can't you see that? If you can't do it right, why did you change template?

File:Dolsk (gmina) location map.png

| top            = 52.0548
| bottom         = 51.9220
| left           = 16.9715
| right          = 17.1953

should be:

N = 52.0548
S = 51.9220
W = 16.9715
E = 17.1953

and now is:

N: 51.922°N - wrong
S: 52.0548°N - wrong (°N???)
W: 16.9715°E (°E???)
E: 17.1953°E

pjahr @ 20:31, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

OK, I was careless. I corrected something again, I hope it’s OK for now. I didn’t think that the bottom side has to be given before the top (in the parameter of {{Map}}). But you also didn’t say exactly what do you want, I always corrected something what I thought you were thinking about. The second letters are explained above. --Tacsipacsi (talk) 21:13, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

@Steinsplitter: I didn’t find other way for it (and now it’s translatable again), can you show me how? Also I wrote on the administrators’ noticeboard, but I didn’t get answer: can you delete the frr subpage and merge no’s history with nb (and after it, delete no)? I created them by mistake. --Tacsipacsi (talk) 11:40, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Just use the normal move function and fuzzybot will process the moves then. --Steinsplitter (talk) 11:48, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

OK, thanks. I will try it when I have to move a language subpage. Can you do the admin tasks? Thanks, --Tacsipacsi (talk) 11:51, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

@Jameslwoodward: Why should I not recreate it? (Also I created from here where deletion warning doesn’t appear.) It’s part of the translation at Commons:Checkusers/Statistics/hu. I don’t see who and why requested the deletion, just the public deletion log: I don’t understand the January 27 deletion reason (can you explain it?), but the other 3 were absolutely wrong as it’s actually did have valid content (translation of == Notes ==) and it’s neither a category (today 12:13 deletion reason) nor a file or gallery (today 17:58 deletion reason, project scope doesn’t refer to other pages). Please let me to translate that page. Thanks! --Tacsipacsi (talk) 20:45, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Hmm. It showed up in the New Page Patrol log as a gallery, which is what happens to all pages that do not have a valid Commons prefix (User, File, Commons, Help, Template, Category, etc.). However, "Translations" is a valid prefix, so it should not have been there. There is a bug somewhere, but it may not be worth tracking down.

Pages with invalid prefixes are almost always mistakes by people who didn't know what they were doing or who made a mistake, so they get deleted rapidly -- hence my handling of this. Now that I know about this bug, I'll be more careful with "Translations". Sorry for the inconvenience. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:12, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

File:Harsányi Tibor.jpg

Szia! Ez a kép jogszerűen van feltöltve? A képen látható személy 1898-ban született, és 1923-ban Franciaországban telepedett le. Ez a kép ezt megelőzően készült, és hozták nyilvánosságra. A kép szerzője viszont 1970-ben hunyt el. Különben annyit tököltem a licenccel, hogy véletlenül töltöttem fel. Tegyek rá még valamilyen másik sablont, vagy töröltessem a képet? Üdv. Tambo (talk) 06:41, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

@Tambo: Sajnos, mivel itthon csak a fényképész halála után 70 évvel lesz egy kép közkincs, ezért legfeljebb akkor maradhat, ha az örökösöktől szerzel engedélyt szabad (pl. CC BY-SA) licenc alatti közzétételre. --Tacsipacsi (talk) 08:56, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Commons:Message templates

Hi, Please don't mark Commons:Message templates for translation. It is hard to edit when marked (because it needs re-mark after every change). I removed the page from the translation system therefore. You are also overwriting existing translations. --Steinsplitter (talk) 19:36, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

@Steinsplitter: Maybe we can use subpage(s) which can be freely edited (and then only one page should be maintained instead of four). Existing translations: I wanted to rename pages (done) and than merge existing translations to the new translation system (not yet done). I can do the first if you think it’s OK, and I will do the second of course (if the page will use the Translate extension). --Tacsipacsi (talk) 19:42, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Subpage(s) which can be freely edited is a excellent idea! The problem are bugs like phabricator:T48716 - this makes it very hard to keep complicated pages up-to-date. Have a nice day. --Steinsplitter (talk) 19:49, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Photo requests

Hi! Do you do photo requests in Budapest? If so I have some ideas for photographs

Thanks WhisperToMe (talk) 23:00, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

I don’t take photographs often, but I can try it. What do you need? --Tacsipacsi (talk) 08:31, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Here is my list:

• Higher quality photo of Thomas Mann Gymnasium (main entrance with school name visible) - 1121 Budapest, Cinege út 8/C.
• Lycée Français Gustave Eiffel de Budapest 1029 Budapest, Máriaremetei út 193-199
• American International School of Budapest - Nagykovácsi út 12 Nagykovácsi 2094 Hungary
• National Transport Authority (Nemzeti Közlekedési Hatóság) HQ - 1066 Budapest,Teréz krt. 38.
• Britannica International School Budapest - 1121 Budapest Kakukk út 1 – 3 Hungary
  • old Malev head office - 1051 Budapest, Roosevelt tér 2.
• Budapest Japanese School (ブダペスト日本人学校/Budapesti Japán Iskola) - 1125 Budapest Virányos út 48, at Virányos Iskola, photograph building with the Japanese flag
• Travel Service Hungary head office - 1077 Budapest, Wesselényi u. 16/a WhisperToMe (talk) 21:47, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
• Hungarian State Railways (Magyar Államvasutak, MÁV) head office: H-1087 Budapest, Könyves Kálmán krt. 54-60
• old Wizz Air headquarters at Airport Business Park C2, Lőrinci út 59 2220 Vecsés, Hungary

Please let me know if/when you take photos of these places :) WhisperToMe (talk) 21:44, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

I don’t want to go out from Budapest (Nagykovácsi and Vecsés; because I have a Budapest pass, which is valid only until the city border). I don’t find the Malév head office on Google Maps (it’s possible that your information is a bit outdated, e.g. Roosevelt tér is Széchenyi István tér since 2011). I also didn’t find the Japanese school and the Travel Service head office. The rest is on the map. Since they are very different places from Máriaremete to the Népliget, it won’t be enough one day to take these photos. I’ll try to photograph some of them this weekend (we have four days because of the anniversary of the 1848 revolution’s outbreak) and around Easter in two weeks. I’ll ping you here if I upload some photos (I think I’ll start in the Buda hills, so the 2. and 12. districts, postal numbers 102x and 112x). --Tacsipacsi (talk) 08:13, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Ok! The Japanese school is at Virányos Iskola, Budapest, Virányos út 48., 1125 Hungary but it seems to have its own building. It's fine if the pictures are taken across several days. Re: Malev old HQ it is possible that the address changed. I don't know what the new address would be. Anyhow, please let me know when they are uploaded. Thanks!

Migration of templates i18n

I'm happy to learn that you use Special:PageMigration. Did you find our documentation clear enough? Thanks for converting some templates; is there a way I can help migrate all the autotranslated templates? I think we could devise a bot to automatically add the basic translate tags and then copy translations in most cases, but we'd need a translation admin at least to review and approve the pages for translation manually. --Nemo 15:19, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

To be honest, I used it once a long time ago so I don’t remember how exactly it went, but I don’t remember having big trouble with it. I think I can’t edit Wiki(p|m)edia more, so I can’t help you migrating so many translations – looking at the logs, I think I haven’t marked more than a hundred individual templates for translation in the past more than 1.5 years, and there are nearly two thousand to go. There are 55 other translation admins and I’m sure you can be the 57th so that you can do it yourself. --Tacsipacsi (talk) 15:49, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

Hungarikusz Firkász (talk) 01:54, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

@Daphne Lantier: I would be happy if you could wait a bit with the deletion. On the Hungarian Wikipedia, the uploader has 5-7 days to prove that the image does not violate the copyright or to get permission to use the file. Here I couldn’t even see what is this picture about without workaround (Google search memory)—people are normally sleeping in Europe between 1:53 and 04:06 UTC. Please give us at least a small chance to protest against the nomination. Thank you. --Tacsipacsi (talk) 10:05, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Waiting really isn't an option when a file is tagged for COM:SPEEDY deletion. As admins, we're supposed to delete copyright violations quickly, and we have roughly 1000+ copyright violations uploaded every day. I would also point out that this was tagged for speedy deletion by a Hungarian Wikipedia administrator, which is a factor in how quick the deletion is done. I figure that a Hungarian Wikipedia administrator tagging a Hungary-related image knows what he or she is doing and I can trust their judgement. You may want to speak with Hungarikusz Firkász. The other issue is that we have a lot of different administrators who do speedy deletions here on Commons. So even if I passed over the image, another Commons admin would probably delete it just as quickly. There's often more than one of us doing deletions at the same time.

File:Arbre généalogique Antigone.pdf

It's quite common to put templates such as "should be SVG" in the Other_versions= field. It's probably done in many thousands of image description pages on Commons... AnonMoos (talk) 14:39, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

I have never come across such. It’s semantically incorrect as other_versions is marked machine-readably to contain other versions of the file and this template marks the lack of another (SVG) version. So widely used or not, it’s an error. --Tacsipacsi (talk) 15:43, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Translation request

Jó napot, may I ask you for some help? The Template:Created with/hu (working together with the Template:Created with .../hu) needs a professional translation. Examples how to do are the English version Created with .../en which is very simple, may be your language needs a more complicated layout like e.g. Created with .../fr and Created with .../es.
Far below at that documentation it can be seen swiftly how each selected language is translated. May be I made not clear what I am asking you to do, just give me a Ping to get more explanations. -- sarang♥사랑 07:58, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

linkscount use on Commons?

Hi Tacsipacsi. You added image use to linkscount source, thank you :) I am confused however, where the tool is used on Commons? For its use we should have something like MediaWiki:Gadget-linkscount.js as a default enabled gadget, had I done that already by some approach that I apparently don't remember or how you are using it now? Thank you :) −ebrahim^talk 19:21, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

@Ebrahim: I don’t know if it’s used on Commons. I set it up on huwiki. For Commons use, I would expect it to also count global usage, while on Wikipedia I haven’t thought of it, just didn’t like the zero count on hu:Speciális:Mi hivatkozik erre/Fájl:Featured article star.svg. :) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 22:12, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Added global file usage also! How did you enabled the tool on huwiki? I guess this can be enabled on Commons on the same way. −ebrahim^talk 20:35, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

@Ebrahim: It’s a standard (opt-in) gadget based on the Wikidata version. (It contains many additions, including new translatable strings, so you have to get these also in Kurdish if you want to backport it. “Global file links”, which I don’t plan to add to the huwiki version as it’s useless there, can be translated into Hungarian as “Globális fájlhivatkozások: ”.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 21:04, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

Thank you. I've enabled it as a gadget :) −ebrahim^talk 22:10, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

@Ebrahim: fileLinkCountText’s Hungarian key became fileCountText, so translations['hu']['fileLinkCountText'] is undefined, which is not a very user-friendly output. :) Also the two keys you’ve added now are used in the improved error handling in my code, which you seem to haven’t included in the Wikidata version. (You may try to compare the latest version with my first edit to see what I’ve added, although MediaWiki’s diff seems not to be very useful here.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 23:13, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

Oh, thanks. Done :) I am thinking about moving the tool to Commons instead. I've developed the tool on Wikidata for some personal use and experiment but now I see it is better to be hosted on Commons so you can edit it also. I will try to use those messages also :) −ebrahim^talk 09:03, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

@Ebrahim: Where did you do it? Because I still see undefined here on Commons. By the way, you can move here, but I can’t edit here either, I have interface admin/interface editor/sysop rights only on some Hungarian wikis (and I don’t plan to request for them here either, it’s too much of responsibility compared to the amount of editing I could afford here). —Tacsipacsi (talk) 11:34, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

Infobox flag/doc

Hi Tacsipacsi, there seems to be an error and I couldn't get rid off: the Example displays a "pipe" too much at the template name; on the other hand, it does not like to show the bgc-parm (but it is used). Sure you know better about the Infobox. -- sarang♥사랑 07:00, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

@Sarang: Currently there is no way to remove the extra pipe. The example system was designed for one-line, one-parameter templates, where the pipe is needed. The one-parameter design is the cause of the latent parameter as well: there is an example-value parameter for the actually displayed content of more-parameter templates, which you haven’t modified. I don’t think, however, that the bgc parameter should be present in either the example or the copy template. Additional styling should be avoided in most cases, as it decreases consistency. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 17:36, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

Mikes György

Szia! A Mikes Györgyökről szóló cikkeknél és képeknél jól meg lett kavarva. Aki feltöltötte az eredeti képet, annak fogalma sem volt, hogyan nézett ki. Most tettem fel az 1929-1986 között élt humoristáról képet, de a magyar cikkben lévő átirányítás rossz helyre irányít. Ráadásul az előzményeket törölni kellene. Megtennéd, hogy ránézel, és kibogozod? Előre is köszönöm. Üdv. Tambo (talk) 05:46, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

@Tambo: Sajnálom, hogy ennyi ideig nem sikerült válaszolnom, viszont linkek nélkül nem is tudok érdemben; nem szeretnék én kutakodni, mikor te úgyis tudod, hogy milyen lapokra gondolsz. – Tacsipacsi (talk) 21:43, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

@Tacsipacsi: Sziaǃ Nincs semmi probléma. Category:György Mikes (1929-1986), Category:György Mikes (humorista, 1912-1987). Előre is köszönöm. Üdv. ̈Tambo (talk) 09:43, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

@Tambo: Úgy tűnik, nem megy itt nekem a gyors reakció… Szóval: nem értem, hogy miért mutatnának rossz helyre (mindkét helyen stimmelnek az évszámok – persze azt nem tudom megállapítani, hogy a két portré jó helyen van-e), viszont a magyar egyértelműsítő utótag szerintem szembemegy a Commons azon kategorizálási alapelvével, hogy a kategóriáknak angol nevet adunk. Ha jól látom, a Wikipédián sincs több Mikes György, úgyhogy simán lehet egyértelműsíteni csak évszámokkal. Sőt, az 1912-ben született mehet az angol nyelvterületen használt George Mikes névvel is (a másiknál azért meghagynám az évszámokat, különben tényleg elég nagy kavar lenne a vége). Tehát az általam javasolt kategórianevek: George Mikes, György Mikes (1929-1986). – Tacsipacsi (talk) 18:11, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Fortepan

IA Wayback links are useful for future verification when the source goes offline or is reorganized. The links you have reverted are likely to be readded. If you feel that adding Wayback links is wrong where source links are online, please raise a discussion on the Village Pump so that a consensus is clear. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 12:54, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

@Fæ: Yes, they are useful when, and in case the source goes away. I don’t know of any other attempt to preemptively add archive links. Such links look like that the original link is already rot, which is clearly not the case. About the discussion: have you got consensus for adding the links? If yes, I hope I can understand why it’s worth from the arguments raised there. If not, I think should not have done them in the first place: such bot-like changes require prior discussion in every wiki I can think of (maybe except for the smallest ones, but Commons is certainly not one of them). —Tacsipacsi (talk) 18:26, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

A related discussion is Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive 72#User:Fæ_a_bot_account? --Fæ (talk) 13:50, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

@Fæ: Thanks for the link. This is what I see:

• There is no clear consensus. There is no clear opposition, either, of course, I see one opposition apart from mine, and zero to two supports apart from you. I think that if not earlier, a bot task should be discussed at a relevant place when it’s disputed.
• You state on the project page that “there is no agreed standard way of displaying or including a link to the Wayback Machine on image pages”. Shouldn’t the way be agreed upon before mass-adding these links?
• I don’t see why archiving the pictures themselves serves the purpose of keeping the copyright status clear. This is just an image, no copyright tag, no description, nothing. The page containing the necessary data, https://www.fortepan.hu/?lang=en&img=74962, is not archived.

—Tacsipacsi (talk) 21:54, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

I do not believe this is controversial, you can always start a thread on the village pump for more opinions. The gallery page has also been added to Fortepan images, the Fortepan credit template has been adjusted to include an archive link. This only happens where the photo archive link has already been added. --Fæ (talk) 23:13, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Module:Catnav

I'd like to know if you changed this as a precautionary measure, or if you really encountered that Lua error on a transcluding page. If so, please let me know which page you encountered the error on.

In principle I welcome this change - thanks for your efforts. Under the premise that both existing and non-existing page titles are valid titles, there should be very few titles that are invalid. Are you sure it is necessary to mute the Lua error in these cases instead of reporting it? After all, there may be invalid template arguments that may be harder to discover with the Lua error suppressed. --Cmuelle8 (talk) 16:31, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

@Cmuelle8: Both. My goal with the change was precaution—Lua errors are the least nice means of reporting parameter issues, e.g. a custom error message or a tracking category are way better. On the other hand, I found the module while cleaning up the script errors category: {{LandkreisGörlitzyear}} and {{LandkreisLeipzigyear}} had Lua errors because they pass {{{1}}} etc., which is expanded when the templates are transcluded with the parameter given, but causes invalid titles on the template pages themselves. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 21:45, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

postprocessing of PDF2SVG

What do you mean with postprocessing in Special:Diff/337099537?
The only "necesary" postprozessing is remove multipe x-koordinates in tspan, because of phab:T35245.
 — Johannes Kalliauer - Talk | Contributions 20:35, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Postprocessing is anything that is not merely mechanically converting the image from one file type to another. This might include changing the canvas size, the background color, converting embedded raster images to vector, paths to text, cleaning up the source code, minor improvements like fixing that bug or correcting bad curves etc. Most of them are not needed to reach the same quality as the source format (I speak about the quality of the files themselves, not their MediaWiki rasterizations), but they’re worth it (the amount of the work they need is low compared to the benefit they have). (Why is it good to continue the same discussion at many different places? You could have asked this there, and then others could also see my explanation there.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 22:18, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Template talk:Convert to SVG is about changing the template. This is a technicial discussion how to convert, that does not directly relate with the change of the template.

Postprozessing is something I would like to know since I convert PDF2SVGs, see Commons:Graphics_village_pump#Help_needed_with_Category:Files_with_inappropriate_PDF_format for details.  — Johannes Kalliauer - Talk | Contributions 22:53, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

@JoKalliauer: There is nothing special about postprocessing, this is not even some jargon (I just made up a word that somewhat covers what I wanted to express). The toolbox is wide as well: it can range from Inkscape to Notepad++/Vim (in case of real vector or vectorizable image) or MS Paint/KolourPaint (in case of “fake” PDFs/SVGs). I rarely convert images to SVG, even rarer from PDF, but I would redraw any embedded graphics using vector, crop the image if needed, expand useless groups, clean up SVG etc., and finally save as plain SVG to get rid of useless Inkscape extensions. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 22:08, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

expand useless groups is often undesired, since it groups objects together to move/keep them together

save as plain SVG to get rid of useless Inkscape extensions that removes grid,guidelines, or if you have segments of elipses they only editable as path-data after saving as plain svg not as a segment of an elipse, therefore you should be carefull.

If it is your own file you can do that, but removing inkscape extension is similar to overwrite a svg with a png(which is on commons not possible), therefore you should f.e. never do that to any file in SVG created with Inkscape:Important. (Be avare of Help:Inkscape#Handling_Inkscape_SVG, even if it is not marked as important, otherwise you violate Commons:Overwriting_existing_files.)

If I convert a PDF2SVG I remove inkscape-related attributes, since I assume there is nothing important lost. (Maybe I forgot it once or twice.)

 — Johannes Kalliauer - Talk | Contributions 17:01, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

@JoKalliauer:

• “Useless” means groups that make no sense at all: the root element is a group, the only descendant of a group is another group, or simply the group’s members don’t make a logical group.
• I haven’t known this, I’ll be more careful in the future, thanks! (Although I think it’s less bad than overwriting with PNG: even in worst case, this change doesn’t affect the output, only the further modifications.)

By the way, I start to feel that you’re not asking for my advice, but just the other way round. :) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 21:39, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

The reason ist that some remove all editor-data/crap and make the file valid, and others revert your edit if you changed anything (removed id-Names, changed size of preview,...)

Since I mainly do SVG-postprocessing, I should know the opinions on that, therfore I asked if there is something I don't know. (I just found: Help:Inkscape#Inkscape_SVG_vs._Plain_SVG)

Fortepan-sablonba archív link

Szia! Megoldható szerinted, hogy a {{Fortepan}} sablonba be legyen építve egy, pontosabban két plusz paraméter az archivált linkeknek, az egyik az információs oldal, a másik pedig a közvetlen link archivált változatának, és ne úgy nézzen ki a leírólap, mint pl. ennél a képnél?

Floating boxes

I saw the changes you made to Template:OTRS backlog and Template:OTRS Navigation, clearly improvements. I still have a lot to learn. I had never come across <abbr>, let alone knowing it does not work on touchscreen devices. The {{Plural}} documentation was an eye-opener, and I am interested in the way the css can be moved out to a subpage, again something I had not seen before.

Now Commons:OTRS/ar looks good, with the two templates lined up to the left of the text, but Commons:OTRS does not: the two templates are staggered. Perhaps the solution is to convert the backlog template from userbox to divs, and/or to embed the backlog template in the navigation template. Would you have time to sort them out? Thanks, Aymatth2 (talk) 14:10, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Now I changed it: Commons:OTRS is good, and Commons:OTRS/ar is not. This is because I just swapped the floating, so that now the tiny “userbox” floats to the right in left-to-right languages (like English) and floats to the left in right-to-left languages (like Arabic), but the language used for the decision is the language of the userbox itself, which has not been translated into Arabic yet. The question is whether we want it to look perfect at the cost of making templates more complicated, or just let look worse until it gets translated into the right-to-left languages (this affects, of course, other rtl languages like Persian and Hebrew).

CSS subpages (mw:Extension:TemplateStyles) is a relatively new feature, it was enabled on most Wikimedia wikis at the end of last summer. By the way, the {{PLURAL:}} I used is not template you linked but the magic word mentioned there. This might or might not be a good idea: it’s simpler and more familiar for people translating across Wikimedia projects and translatewiki.net, but might not work correctly in the languages mentioned in the template documentation if the template is used on a page not having the same internal page language as language code suffix (or when transcluded directly, without using {{TNT}}’s automatic language selection); but it’s not used on such pages currently. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 18:10, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Probably Template:OTRS backlog should be a translatable template using divs, not a userbox, but I can't see it as important to fix it. The translations of Commons:OTRS are mostly a mess, apart from Commons:OTRS/zh, and a minor layout problem with this template is trivial in comparison.

I am only looking at the Commons and Help pages, and on these {{PLURAL:}} is fine, using the page language.

Thanks again for the help and education. Aymatth2 (talk) 00:24, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

I translated Template:OTRS backlog into Arabic, Hebrew and Persian, and that fixed the problem, give or take a pixel or two. I did not even know that I knew those languages! Aymatth2 (talk) 10:35, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

@Aymatth2: Sorry, but that was a bad idea. By translating I meant translating, that is, making them show Arabic, Hebrew etc. text. Now they are marked machine-readably as Arabic, Hebrew etc., which completely confuses machines like screen readers and search engines. It also makes humans’ life harder as the English text is displayed right-to-left from now on. I suppose to get these deleted until they have proper translations. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 13:49, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

I did not see that. But don't we have the same problem with, e.g. Commons:OTRS/ar, where most of the text is English, right-aligned? Aymatth2 (talk) 15:43, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

Yes, we have. But that doesn’t mean we have to create even more such pages… —Tacsipacsi (talk) 17:24, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

Use of {{Pg}}

I saw you reverted an edit I made to Commons:Első lépések/Tökéletesség. I am undecided on the subject. My views:

• An English-language page should always use {{Pg}}, because that will "show through" into translations where a unit has not been translated. Maybe the page language is Galician, but a paragraph has not been translated so the English version shows. The links in that paragraph will go to Galician pages where available. Much of the "translated" content in the Commons namespace is in fact show-through English. Commons:Project_scope/Summary/nl is typical.
• On a non-English page, links to a page that has not been translated should use {{Pg}}. When the target page is translated, the link will start to point to the translated version. In Commons:Első lépések/Tökéletesség I had made a link to {{pg|Commons:Templates for galleries|sablonjait}}, which I think is correct. That points to the English version for now, but will automatically flip to the Hungarian version when it is started.
• On a non-English page a link to a page in the same language, as with {{pg|Commons:Szoftver}} will be just the same as a direct link to [[Commons:Szoftver]], except that {{Pg}} will add a small overhead with a "#ifexists" check.

I can see three possible reasons for using {{Pg}} in the last case, none very convincing.

1. It is consistent to always use {{Pg}} for links to Commons pages, rather than think about whether it is useful. It is certainly easier when preparing a page for migration.
2. We may want to add some logic to {{Pg}}. Perhaps it could respond to a user preference like "always link to my preferred language if available." Whatever.
3. {{Pg}} will show the base English page name, which may be useful in some way. Or at least it would if [[Commons:Szoftver]] had been migrated to [[Commons:Software/hu]].

These are vague, weak reasons. Thoughts? Aymatth2 (talk) 00:47, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

@Aymatth2: My opinion:

• English pages should use {{Pg}} if and only if it is (or expected to be) marked for translation. On multilingual pages like Commons:Village pump it offers poorer user experience than {{Localized link}}, as it always points to the English page, and users won’t ever get a translated page where links point to their language.
• Pages translated with the extensions should use {{Pg}} if the target page doesn’t exist in local language at the time of the translation, but the English version of the target uses the extension as well, or it’s possible that it will at some point (i.e. it’s not village pump or the like). If the target page already exists in the local language, created with the extension, the translation may or may not use {{Pg}}, it doesn’t matter as translated pages rarely get deleted. If the target page exists in the local language, created without the extension, it’s better not to use {{Pg}}, as it has no advantage, but it looks like it’s pointing to an English title.
• Pages translated without the extension should not use {{Pg}}. These pages’ internal page language is English (check the “Page information” link in the left sidebar), so {{Pg}} will never use the translated page title. This means that the usage of {{Pg}} has no advantage, but it’s misleading (even for you). Instead, they should be migrated to the extension.

—Tacsipacsi (talk) 22:54, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Fair enough. I would not use {{Pg}} for links in or to the Village pump, deletion discussions or archives. But I expect that most other pages in the Commons namespace will soon be migrated to the extension, and am working on making that happen. I find it easier when preparing a set of translations for migration to swap them to {{Pg}} before the migration, because at that stage I have better editing tools. But changing [[Commons:Szoftver]] to {{pg|Commons:Szoftver}} seems a bit pointless. Not a big issue. Aymatth2 (talk) 01:17, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Help on floating

I noticed that {{CRT region index}} had not been set up to float left/right depending on language. I think I fixed that, see Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Consolidated list Southern Asia/fa. That showed the same problem with {{CRT Country}}. I think I fixed that too. Whoever started these did a lousy job of testing!

But then I saw that {{Infobox copyright rules}} was not floating left/right. That puzzles me, because that would surely have been spotted long ago. I sort-of fixed it so it floats left in e.g. Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Iran/fa, but the margin is on the wrong side, and in Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Consolidated list Southern Asia/fa it is pushed right by the transclusion box. That problem does not happen with the left-to-right languages.

Is there any chance you could look at {{Infobox copyright rules}} so it works on Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Consolidated list Southern Asia/fa? That is, padded right and slides under the transclusion box. Thanks, Aymatth2 (talk) 16:03, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

@Aymatth2: Fixed. I’ve added a CSS subpage (although the issue could have been fixed without it, of course). The problem was that clear:right and margin-left:1em are defined in MediaWiki:Common.css, which is flipped based on user interface language, not page language; now I defined them on the CSS subpage as well (with a higher specificity, just in case). This might be the reason why it hasn’t been noticed so far: users with Persian UI language saw the Persian page perfectly (but not the English one). —Tacsipacsi (talk) 18:04, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

Thank you so much. That looks like a very clean solution. I would have struggled to find a good way to get the effect. Aymatth2 (talk) 18:12, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

Translations:Template:Picture of the day/i18n/4/ga

Hi, I removed the {{Speedy}} there, as this page really seems to be legitimate (see here) :) -- AlNo (discuter/talk/hablar/falar) 14:19, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

@Alno: See message documentation—the translation unit’s content is a page title, and makes sense only if that page exists, or else the top icon points to nowhere; this is the case for the Galician translation “Commons:Pictiúir an lae”. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 19:30, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

P.S. Could you please delete Commons:Language policy/ba as well? It contains nothing but my display title translation that should have gone to Commons:Language policy/br. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 19:38, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

@Tacsipacsi: OK, sorry for that, just for now I just replaced the translation content by the English version so that the link will not be broken. But I think that this template should be reworked in order to use {{Pg}}, which does the job in a more elegant way :) -- AlNo (discuter/talk/hablar/falar) 08:34, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

@Alno: Why is it better than simply deleting the page? It seems that the page name is translated, while in fact it isn’t. Yes, it would be better to use {{Pg}} or some equivalent solution, but it’s impossible as long as Commons:Picture of the day’s translations cannot be found programatically, because their titles have nothing in common. All translations have to be moved to Commons:Picture of the day/<lang> and preferably switched to use the Translate extension. It would be an improvement apart from this issue as well (e.g. easier to translate and maintain translations), but needs a huge work. (And what about Commons:Language policy/ba?) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 09:28, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

@Tacsipacsi: You're right! I've deleted Commons:Language policy/ba. About Commons:Picture of the day, I'll check how things are done and maybe I'll make some proposals on the Village Pump.

@TheDJ: Where are these defined? I have no idea out of context, but the nearby rules or the page history may help. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 22:58, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

You moved the CSS into Template:Main Page Template/styles.css, but I'm not sure where it came from. The problem is that it messes with the dimensions of divs etc, causing issues with some of the controls of the new player. See also screenshot added. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 08:19, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

@TheDJ: Thanks! It was me entirely, without any source. I made this change because the MOTD has a fixed width, which is potentially wider than the screen, so I wanted it certainly not exceed it.

/* keep wikitext div not exceed room available, it doesn’t have any identifier yet :( */
#mf-vid-vid > div,
/* keep Kaltura not exceed room available */
#mf-vid-vid .mediaContainer,
#mf-vid-vid .mwPlayerContainer,
#mf-vid-vid .PopUpMediaTransform,
/* keep VideoJS not exceed room available */
#mf-vid-vid .video-js {
	max-width: 100%;
}
#mf-vid-vid img {
	max-width: 100%;
	height: auto! important
}

seems to fix the issue, I don’t see any side effect of the img rule (I cannot publish myself in the TemplateStyles page, as it got cascaded protection in the meantime). By the way, I’d much appreciate your opinion at Talk:Main Page#Remove mobile special casing (this specific change was also to make the Commons main page more usable on mobile). —Tacsipacsi (talk) 00:09, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Yes that should work I think. I'll take a look at the the main page discussion. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 09:43, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

@Tacsipacsi: I still do not see a real reason for these rules. Have you a screenshot? If there is a real glitch, this should be reported/fixed to the player extension instead of hacking the main-page-css. For now, I have removed the rules. -- User: Perhelion 09:16, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

Overflowing player

@Perhelion: The issue has nothing to do with the player, so it cannot be fixed there, it’s absolutely Commons-specific. In fact, it’s not even really a bug, but rather a design decision. The MOTD’s width can only be set to a fixed value (it makes little sense for audio, but it’s important for videos and static images, where the preview image should be generated in that size), but we don’t want it to run out of narrow screens, and this is what these CSS rules are for. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 23:08, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

I inserted the code, anyway it should be a rare case for this small view (in window mode? Mobile it looks fine). The "img height" seems not that important (as it only slightly shifts the aspect ratio), especially as it removes the default size for everyone (and also affects the small icons inside the player). -- User: Perhelion 21:03, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

@Perhelion: I don’t see any differences between mobile and desktop view: VideoJS has black top and bottom padding, which is not nice, but certainly not as ugly as the Kaltura player, which stretches. Yes, on mobile as well, and it’s quite noticeable at 375px screen width (iPhone X/Xs). I haven’t found any issues, in contrast, with the proposed height:auto!important rule. What icons does it affect? It should have effect only on images which have explicit width and height set, and the ratio of these two values is different from the aspect ratio of the image file itself, which is usually a bad idea to begin with. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 22:12, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

Information template

Hi, as you have been told previously, do not empty information fields. Jcb (talk) 21:23, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi, as you have been told previously, do not put LIES or NONSENSE into information fields. In this particular case, the work is clearly out of copyright, but stating that its SOURCE is a HUMAN DEAD HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO doesn’t help. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 21:53, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

This is your last warning, do not blank information fields. Jcb (talk) 21:55, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

I wrote with User:Jcb and according to his suggestion, I think {{unknown|source}} might be a solution that would be ok for you (for future). But adding no-source-Template or Edit-Waring is in my opinion worse than just emptying information fields. But you can ask the uploader to add a proper source. — Johannes Kalliauer - Talk | Contributions 16:39, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

You have been blocked for a duration of 1 week

You have been blocked from editing Commons for a duration of 1 week for the following reason: disruptive edits after warnings. If you wish to make useful contributions, you may do so after the block expires. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may add {{unblock|(enter your reason here) ~~~~}} below this message explaining clearly why you should be unblocked. See also the block log.

— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jcb (talk • contribs) 14:30, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

@Jcb: Sorry what? A week!? For the first time!? For edit warring!? I don’t think it’s proportional by any means. By the way, I think you should block yourself as well, as you warred as well, and your edits are not less disruptive than mines. And you asked me last time to properly nominate for deletion, so I did so. Next time I won’t do what you ask me to do if you don’t honor that. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 07:57, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

A week is indeed somehow much, but as I can also see you are overheated, so a break time of 3 days should be adequate. If you contradict the decision you can requests a unblock. -- User: Perhelion 12:43, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

A week is quite standard for an offense like this, but an unblock can usually be achieved quickly by showing that you understand what you did wrong and by promising to discontinue the behaviour. An unblock request without these two aspects is usually unsuccessful. Jcb (talk) 14:45, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

@Jcb: And is it standard that if an admin and a non-admin user war, the admin blocks the non-admin? This was an edit war, nothing else. I still don’t think adding exactly the same text to source as author makes any sense, but I see you have too much power to make me possible to fight for my opinion. (@Perhelion: Unfortunately blocking doesn’t help cool me down. I know myself, and the inability to edit makes me just even angrier, so I request unblocking.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 21:42, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

Are you aware that your previous actions obstruct maintenance, by cluthering the already severely backlogged Images without source problem category with files that do not have a problem? Jcb (talk) 14:50, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

@Jcb: No, and nobody raised my attention to it. This makes me accept {{Unknown|source}}. But not your method of duplicating the author, and even less your procedure of blocking me for a week for something you don’t like. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 21:42, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Varos vs city

Firstly, there is no differentiation between different size of Varos in Hungarian, but there most certainly is a difference between city and town in English, the language of commons. If you're not going to accept size as a determining factor, then we can delete "cities in Hungary" completely and just use populated places for everything, with a sub-category for villages. Secondly, given that you've only recently returned from a ban for edit-warring, you may want to be careful about reverting edits over and over... - Themightyquill (talk) 09:16, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

Edit Summary

When editing a page on Commons there is a small field labeled "Edit Summary" or "Summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary: 

 

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the Edit Summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the Edit Summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's name in the Edit Summary field - please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.  — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 16:18, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: Thanks for the standard message, I know what an edit summary is, what it is for and where to find it (by the way, the above is true only for the traditional editor, not e.g. for VisualEditor), and I use it always (except that I often don’t append additional summary to section summary on talk pages when I feel I can’t summarize my comment; but I keep the section title part even then). It would be a lot more helpful if you mentioned why you sent this message. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 16:35, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

These edits.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 16:42, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: Oh, the Translate! Sorry. It’s quite easy to miss the edit summary there, as for some reason it’s not enforced when enforcing edit summary is turned on in the preferences (most probably it was simply not implemented), and it’s even more inconvenient as using the traditional edit interface as pressing the Enter key doesn’t save the edit. Actually, there was no edit summary field there at all until recently. (By the way, it’s also an example for an edit interface different from your sample above. There is no “Edit summary: ” text above it, but there is an “Optional summary” text in the input field itself.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 16:57, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

Apply TemplateStyles to Commons:Welcome

Hi, The main page of the commons looks nice now while I see on my phone, can you apply the related TemplateStyles from the main page to Commons:Welcome? -- Great Brightstar (talk) 14:11, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

@Great Brightstar: Unfortunately TemplateStyles, as its name implies, is for templates; it’s not that easy to use it in other namespaces. Either the page should be converted to use a template, or this restriction should be worked around; I don’t what is the less ugly solution. And if Commons:Welcome is already bothered, I think it’s time to convert all translations to use the Translate extension and have consistent layout. (Compare Commons:Welcome, Commons:Bienvenue and Commons:Griass God, for example.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 16:29, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

POTD header

Because of this edit. Can you explain, how to add years 2020, 2021 etc. now? --A.Savin 22:49, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

@A.Savin: They’ll automatically show up in 2020, 2021 etc., without need for any human intervention. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 22:26, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

The problem is, that POTD pages are being created 1-2 years in advance. I am going to start doing it for my pictures too, I would like to have an overview of the months, as it formerly was available. Can you please either find a way that the future two years show up too, or return to the original version? --A.Savin 02:51, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

@A.Savin: So you want to display always two years in advance, so up to 2021 now, up to 2022 from 1 January 2020 etc.? It’s quite easily feasible in Lua, just there was no such instruction on the template. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 09:09, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Can you fix it, or not? --A.Savin 13:20, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

@A.Savin: It depends. Can you confirm the above solution is OK for you, or not? —Tacsipacsi (talk) 19:44, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at Wikimedia Commons.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

@Zhuyifei1999: Thanks, but I haven’t fixed all of them – especially the Lua parts still smell, but I haven’t got time to dig into it. Lua is a powerful thing, but internationalizing and localizing modules is much more painful than plain templates… —Tacsipacsi (talk) 19:20, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case. Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted.

COM:CRT Germany - Something strange

Hi, I just noticed a very odd effect with Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Germany:

• If I try to edit ==Governing laws==, I get placed in edit mode on ==Copyright tags==
• If I try to edit ==Summary of copyright terms==, I get placed in edit mode on ==Currency==
• ...
• If I try to edit ==Official works==, I get placed in edit mode on ==Notes==
• If I try to any sections after this, I get "Cannot find section"

I cannot see anything wrong with the page. Maybe you can spot what is causing it ... Aymatth2 (talk) 13:21, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

@Aymatth2: Please use the Add topic button on the top of the page. The edit summary you provided is very misleading.

The problem arose from the appearance of the <translate> tags in the header lines. Section editing is generally unusable on translatable pages, as it often inserts unintended blank lines around section headers; translatable pages should be edited only in full. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 11:04, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

I see you fixed the problem - thanks. The effect was quite odd. Aymatth2 (talk) 11:16, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

CRT shortcut: anchor

Hi,

{{CRT shortcut}} originally added anchors like {{anchor|FOP}}, but at some point these got dropped. I added them back to {{CRT shortcut}} the other day, but they are placed after the section heading, not before, so the result is sub-optimal. Compare:

• COM:CRT/United States#FOP – Anchor coded before the heading
• COM:CRT/Russia#FOP – Anchor generated by {{CRT shortcut}}

The only places the anchors are used seem to be in pages like Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Guadeloupe, and they are only used to point to the COM:CRT pages for Australia, France, Spain, United Kingdom, United States. So I put anchors before the headings in some of those pages. The anchors are defined twice, but the link goes to the first one. I am not going to go through all the COM:CRT pages putting anchors before the headings. The {{CRT shortcut}} approach is good enough for the other pages. Reasonable? Aymatth2 (talk) 22:41, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

@Aymatth2: According to the HTML standard, the ID must be unique within the document. Even though browsers handle the case when the same ID appears more than once on a page, they are not required to do so, and even less required to do so consistently. So either of the IDs must be removed; the easier way to go was removing the {{Anchor}} template, but introducing a parameter in {{CRT shortcut}} that suppresses the anchor creation is a just as good solution. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 23:01, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

I will add a parameter. Easier to fix five pages than 200+. Aymatth2 (talk) 12:55, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Loop

Hey Tacsipacsi,

Hi this edit appears to have created a loop, and all files that use the YouTubeReview template are now displaying a template loop error. example: File:Launch_Pad_Water_Deluge_System_Test_at_NASA_Kennedy_Space_Center.webm. Thanks -- Eatcha (talk · contribs) 05:11, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

@Eatcha: Thanks for the note, worked around. (PS. Please don’t use {{User}} in your signature. It breaks tools, for example your message wasn’t quoted in the notification email, where it should have been.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 16:18, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

Commons:Photo challenge/Previous

Tacsipacsi, That page had functioning data translation system, so that if I view it when my language is Polish or Russian, the dates would show up in Polish or Russian. Now the page content does not change when I change desired language. Can you fix or restore? --Jarekt (talk) 00:04, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

@Jarekt: The translation still functions, just a bit differently: if you open Commons:Photo challenge/pl or Commons:Photo challenge/ru, the month names are in these languages, regardless of the user interface language. This means more consistent language within a page, although at the cost that Commons:Photo challenge/Previous will be in English for everyone—however, as there is no direct link to it, only an edit link, I don’t think many people read it directly. (The previous i18n system was simply wrong: it only translated month names without any digit or order changes. It’s fine for Indo-European languages, but not OK for other languages like Hungarian—it displayed “Január 2020”, which is plain wrong, it should be “2020. január”. So please don’t revert to the original version; if you still want to translate according to the UI language instead of page language, simply removing the second parameter of {{ISOdate}} will be sufficient. However, I don’t support that because of the mixed language on translated pages.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 00:19, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

I see. I am familiar with the date order issue but did not realized we were doing it wrong. I was not planning on reverting without talking first. Pages like https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Photo_challenge?uselang=hu are still wrong, but Commons:Photo_challenge/hu seems right. I do not know which one is more important. --Jarekt (talk) 00:48, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

@Jarekt: I think consistent language within the page is more important than using UI language. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Photo_challenge?uselang=hu is not wrong, just consistent in another way—the same language is (tried to be) used throughout the whole page, regardless of the given piece of text is translated on that very page or in some template; instead of the previous version, which tried to use the UI language in as many places as possible (and, of course, failed for texts translated on that very page). Although Commons provides a way to set the UI language even for anonymous users, I think many simply use English interface even if that’s not their native language, so if they click on the translation in their native, they want that language as much as possible. (Using UI language also hurts accessibility: there may be issues around RTL/LTR, different fonts, or with screen readers trying to read the page aloud in the page language, which may happen to be different from the UI language.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 01:21, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

User Research - Looking for volunteers

Hello @Tacsipacsi:

For a current research project we are looking for active community members in Wikipedia, Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons who are interested in filling out a survey and participating in an interview. The aim of the research is to identify opportunities for participation and access for new volunteers in the Wikimedia projects. For this purpose we would like to learn from the experiences of the already active community members and find out success factors for participation in the projects. Participation includes filling out a preliminary survey, a self-study and an interview.

If you are interested in participating, simply fill out this survey. The participants in the interviews will be selected on the basis of the answers in order to be able to consider as many different perspectives as possible.

All selected interview partners will receive a book or photo voucher of 25 euros as a thank you.

Feel free to forward this call to other people you think might share interesting experiences about Commons. If you have any questions you can of course contact me or check the project page :) On the Project Page you can also find more information.

Regards --Merle von Wittich (WMDE) (talk) 10:29, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
