Heads-up

Hi, as an active colleague on upload projects, I thought I'd drop you a personal heads-up for my request for adminship, today being the last day for views. RFA's tend to only have a small proportion of the community taking part, so it can be difficult to judge if this is representative. --Fæ (talk) 13:42, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

Tech News: 2015-39

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

• There is now an experimental Wikimedia maps service. You can give feedback here. [1][2]
• Last week a few issues with UploadWizard were fixed. Before this was done, UploadWizard would stop you from uploading your files if something went wrong. [3][4][5][6]
• More Wikipedias can now use information from any Wikidata item in any Wikipedia article. Previously they could only use the Wikidata item that matched the subject of the article. [7]
• The VisualEditor welcome dialogue has been changed. The intention is to make it more helpful for new users. [8]

Problems

• Wikimedia Labs' HTTPS certificate expired for most of Tuesday 15 September. To reach Wikimedia Labs and Tool Labs securely you had to ignore your browser's security error message. There was no risk to data security during this time. [9]
• Last week the notification system was split into two parts. This was temporarily undone because of a bug and performance concerns. It will return to two parts this week. [10][11]
• UploadWizard couldn't upload files larger than 5 MB when using chunked uploads. This has now been fixed. [12]

Changes this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from September 22. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis from September 23. It will be on all Wikipedias from September 24 (calendar).
• The page move tool has been switched over to the new standard look for forms. [13]
• You can now choose whether to extend a link or not when editing one in VisualEditor. This means it is easier to choose how much of what you type before and after the link is part of it. [14]
• Wikibooks can now use data from Wikidata. [15]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs are the most important. The meeting will be on 22 September at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join a meeting with the Wikidata team. It will be on September 23 at 17:00 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can register to the Wikimedia Developer Summit 2016 in San Francisco 4–6 January 2016. Gadget, template, bot, and tool developers are welcome as well. Call for participation and travel sponsorship requests are open until 2 October.

Hey

Why the image failed? The image was perfectly licenced. What's the problem? Please tell.Krish! (talk) 06:37, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

There it is mentioned that "All sizes of this photo are available for download under a Creative Commons license" . See.Krish! (talk) 06:38, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

See COM:L: "Publication of derivative work must be allowed" & "Some examples of licensing statuses commonly found on the Internet, but forbidden on Commons, include: ... Creative Commons No-Derivatives (-ND) licenses" --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 08:05, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

PD images

As you may be aware, Flickr recently enabled images to be marked as being in the public domain. Most of the images I'm finding in Category:Flickr images needing human review are marked as PD, both on the Flickr source page and on the description page here. For an example, see File:Louis Moe - konvoluttenengra00gjel 0157 (21637845946).jpg; the bot correctly found the source page, and it correctly reflects the source's no-copyright-restrictions tag, but it apparently doesn't know what to do with it. Is there a chance that the bot could be reprogrammed to handle PD tags properly? Nyttend (talk) 01:23, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Expected behavior, see Commons:Requests_for_comment/Flickr_and_PD_images. In short: PD Mark does not explicitly state why the image is PD, and this is required by commons. Thus the handling logic is that if the image source page does not contain any PD templates, they will have to undergo a human review. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 01:41, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Oh btw, I'm not sure if Public Domain Dedication = Public Domain Mark --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 02:17, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

gap - Invalid ID

Hi. I tried downloading an image from google culturalinstitute with gap, but it gives "Invalid ID! Please add a valid ID and klick -Go-!" [33] (I think its because of odd chars like '«'). --Sporti (talk) 13:13, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, that was the reason. In that case, try the hash-only id instead, since it is (kind of) a redirect to that url --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 14:30, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Hash oly gives "Job did not seem to succeed. Please check your input or refresh this page to try again. If this still fail, please contact commons:User:Zhuyifei1999". --Sporti (talk) 15:14, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Hmm. I just looked into it. This seems one of the images that's different, for most images I've seen a direct download of tile from ggpht.com will give weird results, but this one seems otherwise. I'll work on a fix tomorrow. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 15:31, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello! I tried to upload images using your program. One image was downloaded. I wanted to download a few pictures, but it is impossible. Not all works? And I want to express gratitude for a good idea.--IgorSokol (talk) 17:18, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Could you gave me the ids for those images that failed for you? --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 22:54, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. I am interested in these images:

--IgorSokol (talk) 07:25, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

@IgorSokol: I looked into a few random ones from your list, they all work. Please list only the ones that do not work. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 10:02, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

@IgorSokol: Oh apparently the issue for you might be that you used eg. "portrait-of-the-young-cardinal-ippolito-i-d-este" of "portrait-of-the-young-cardinal-ippolito-i-d-este/sAGc0AZndjyPsw" of the url for the tool. This will not work, as the url will show "Item not found". You can use either "sAGc0AZndjyPsw" (as the url is a redirect), or simply "portrait-of-the-young-cardinal-ippolito-i-d-este/sAGc0AZndjyPsw" --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 12:00, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

@Sporti:  Fixed https://tools.wmflabs.org/yifeibot/downloaders/gap.py?id=6wHBcokgxHBung&bouton=Go --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 10:54, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, uploaded. --Sporti (talk) 11:31, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Now I understand how the program works. I do not download these images: 1) Gerard Elisa Bonaparte https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/asset-viewer/elisa-bonaparte-with-her-daughter-napoleona-baciocchi/OwEBXl6wZ35DUA?projectId=art-project 2) Iacoba of Baden https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/asset-viewer/iacoba-of-baden/ygGXl4xy9RXtHA?projectId=art-project--IgorSokol (talk) 17:55, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

The gigapixels crashed the script. You can try again now --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 09:33, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Happened. Thank you so much.--IgorSokol (talk) 16:06, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Why?

[34] (there were multiple edits like this). Materialscientist (talk) 07:53, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

SQL query returned false positives. I do not yet know why, as it may be caused by many factors, and the issue is temporary. Similar problems have happened in the past. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 09:21, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

I can't restore out of scope text awey because your edit are

Example [35] I must restore twice before I can hide out of scope text.--Motopark (talk) 09:53, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Just blank the section. If not, do you have any alternative suggestions on the operation of the bot? --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 11:39, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, I blanked next time--Motopark (talk) 11:43, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

YeFeiBot mistriggering

This is not a big deal, but thought I'd mention it. In a couple of specific cases, the bot has misdetected files as "Media without a license: needs history check". The specific files were File:X-2 with Collapsed Nose Wheel - GPN-2000-000398.jpg and File:D-558-2 Dropped from B-29 Mothership - GPN-2000-000251.jpg. In both cases, I was merging a 'newer' higher res upload of a "Great Images in NASA" image on top of the bot-scraped version, and the bot triggered on it. Since there was never a moment when the page was actually missing a license template, I'm not sure why it would have been detected, but it's obviously not a high-priority problem. Revent (talk) 00:10, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Well, you're right. When the SQL query returns false positives, it can rarely distinguish them. It used to be better, but the second check part is now broken for unknown reasons. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 00:46, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, it's obviously no big deal, just thought I'd mention it. Doesn't 'break anything'. Revent (talk) 01:09, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

SignBot

Nice to see this bot on Commons, but it's doing some strange things. Here it signs a MiszaBot/config I added to my talk. I'm pretty sure I saw it sign an addition of {{User talk}} or {{Busy}} on another user's talk yesterday or the day before. Jeff 20:31, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, false positive. I'll work on a fix when I have time. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 08:56, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Should be fixed. I added a note to the bot request --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 09:43, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

This image

The flickrbot seems to be marking several images continuously. The image above is one example. I don't know the reason. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 06:04, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

• This is another example. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 06:05, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

There's a lot. Probably related to phab:T116001 --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 09:00, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

• Well hopefully the problem is now fixed. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 06:30, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Category:New uploads without a license

hi, curently there are a lot of false positives in Category:New uploads without a license marked by your bot. Can you pls. check for the reason and perhaps stop your bot meanwhile. thx. --JuTa 12:22, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

It happened in the past, but there's no way AFAIK to find the exact reason. My guess is that it may be phab:T116001 for this run. Unfortunately, I can't even control my bot right now due to phab:T116148. You may block it if it continue to cause troubles --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 12:42, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

phab:T116148 fixed and job killed. Also removed from crontab til phab:T116001 gets fixed --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 14:05, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Thx a lot. --JuTa 17:43, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

flickrreview

Hi, likely because of the same bug User:FlickreviewR 2 is now reviewing the same files a lot of times messing up the version histories (example). Perhaps it should currently run only once a day or similar. thx. --JuTa 20:15, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

 Done as twice a day. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 04:04, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

FlickreviewR confirmed license multiple times

Hi there! I noticed your useful bot did license confirm multiple times, this seems anomalous. Here. Just FYI. Palosirkka (talk) 04:47, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

See above *sigh* --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 08:14, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

User:SignBot

Congratulations! Bot was approved. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:07, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Suggestion for SignBot

Hello, I have a little suggestion to think about, it's great that SignBot signs user comments one minute after that comment, but there are some cases in which it would be better to wait a little more time, like this one where the user added a nonsense, and it was not possible to directly revert the edit because SignBot was in the middle; or cases like this one (both cases on October 24th) where the user makes two edits, in this case it was good that SignBot edited 3 minutes after the first comment, I don't know why it was that way here. Maybe it would be good to wait ¿5 minutes? after the comment, in order to allow rollbackers to revert, and to allow users to correct his/her own comment before the bot acts. Or you may suggest something else :) --UAwiki (talk) 01:57, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Hmm. I don't think time is enough for most rollbackers to see the messages, whether it is 1 minute or 5 minutes. Usually, I would recommend simply blanking the section. Besides, the bot currently cannot detect if any previous or subsequent messages by the same user is signed or not. It simply checks whether the to-sign line has been modified or not after the time. I don't see much sense too the the additional 4 minutes. As for 3-minute-unsigned edit you mentioned, well, the first was clearly signed, and the second was recognized as unsigned by the bot, thus the unsigned was only for the second edit. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 09:12, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
