Category:I

Hi, Zhuyifei1999 I was wondering why this file is categorized I. In the meantim, I addes some more categories I think might be useful too. Thank you for your time. Lotje (talk) 12:10, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Well, the file was categorized in I since the beginning. Perhaps @Tm: knows why? --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 13:30, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Deleted sandbox4

Hi. You had a huge number images in the gallery and many of these files have been identified as duplicates. Having all these images in the page was forcing the replacement process to to repeatedly edit the same page, and the size of the file for me was causing the replacements to be (unnecessarily) dog slow. I have deleted the page, and we can recover if you desire its return once the duplicate processing has been undertaken. Thanks for your understanding.  — billinghurst sDrewth 13:53, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

@Billinghurst: sorry about that page. It was some data from a dump scan for @Josve05a: , but since he's admin anyways now I guess whether it's live or deleted doesn't make much difference. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 15:03, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Tech News: 2016-32

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

  • In notifications, the icon for Notices has been changed from a speech-bubble icon () to a tray icon () for consistency. The Alerts icon has been redesigned too. The colors have been changed for accessibility. [3]

Problems

  • If you use the wikEd gadget, changes you made were not kept when you switched from the wikitext editor to the visual editor while you were editing. This has now been fixed. [4]

Changes this week

  • Wikimedia search will now ignore question marks at the end of the sentences or words you use when you search. Until now the question mark was just a wildcard. [5]
  • On Commons, UploadWizard will now be available on mobile, rather than just the old upload form. This should reduce the workload for the community in reviewing images. [6]
  • When you edit with the visual editor a puzzle symbol tells you there is an invisible template in the article. It will now mention the name of the template. [7]
  • The button to read something in another language will move for mobile users. This will happen on 9 August. [8]
  • When someone mentions you and links to your user page you get a notification. You will now get a notification when you mention yourself this way. [9]
  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 August. It will be on all wikis from 11 August (calendar).
  • A message on Notifications panel will invite users to try Special:Notifications page. [10]

Meetings

  • You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on August 9 at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Bot Down?

Task 13 does not seem to be running. Could you check? --Jarekt (talk) 13:57, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Task hanging since 2016-08-01 07:33:08. I'm looking into it. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 14:13, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
Same for the missing infobox task, hanging since 2016-08-01 11:55:20
I killed the license one, the infobox one kept for debugging --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 14:55, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
Killed the infobox task as well. They should be running again on next run. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 15:26, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
Great. I did manual query for licenses and processed the ones I found, so I do not expect many. Thanks for looking into it. --Jarekt (talk) 18:00, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Tech News: 2016-33

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

Problems

  • Last week Tech News announced you will get a notification when you mention yourself the same way as if someone else had mentioned you. This caused some problems and will happen later instead. [11]
  • Creating and editing links to sections on other pages on the wiki now works again in the visual editor. [12]
  • For some users, cross-wiki notifications haven't been working properly. The count has been wrong when only cross-wiki notifications were present. The cross-wiki bundle has been showing only the names of wikis and not the actual notifications. This will be fixed soon. [13][14]

Changes this week

  • The login session when you choose "Keep me logged in" will now last a year. Previously it was 30 days. This will happen on August 16. [15]
  • Some abuse filters will have to be updated during the week. This is because a bug will be fixed. [16]
  • In compact language links, two new kinds of languages will be shown in the shorter language list: Languages that are used in the article's text, and languages where the article has a badge like "featured article" or "good article". [17][18]
  • The visual editor will be available by default for logged-out editors on Wikipedias that use the Arabic script. It is already default for logged-in editors. [19]
  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from August 16. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from August 17. It will be on all wikis from August 18 (calendar).

Meetings

  • You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on August 16 at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

  • Starting the week of August 22 there will be three software deployment windows. They will be at 13:00, 18:00, and 23:00 UTC. This is to have more times when software of the wikis can be updated and make it easier for developers in different parts of the world. [20]

感谢与求助

首先，感谢您帮忙把文件“HZ rd sign N”彻底去除了底色！

其次，我尝试用PS去除“HZ rd sign E/W/S”等三个文件的底色，但是上传之后却又变成了黑底。因此恳求您帮忙去除上述三个文件的黑底，谢谢了！！ Richardcai (talk) 11:16, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

@Richardcai: 是缓存的问题。上传之后过一段时间就好了。 --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 08:12, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
但是离第N次上传也过去20天左右了，还是黑底。Richardcai (talk) 11:16, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
为什么我这里看到的File:HZ_rd_sign_E.png却是透明的... --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 12:14, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

SignBot malf

Revision of User:Pokéfan95 - This seems undesirable (and a bit odd). Reventtalk 12:33, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Quick look: it signed there because User talk:Cyndaquil redirects to User talk:Pokéfan95User:Pokéfan95. But why Special:Diff/204108277 I have to investigate --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 15:55, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
No, one account is not supposed to sign on behalf of another account. Idk of a good logic to know if Cyndaquil = Pokéfan95 on similar cases. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 15:57, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
But I still don't understand why the subst didn't work. Pinging also @Pokéfan95: --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 16:03, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
I confirm that Cyndaquil is my alternate account. I should have redirected the talk page of my alternate account to my talk page, but I think it would be good if SignBot would avoid editing non-talk namespaces (except Commons namespace). ★ Poké95 00:35, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
Argh, I hate redirects. Every time a few of my bot tasks crash it's sometimes because of a redirect; for this one I follow the redirect, and now I have to check the validity of the redirect... Meh. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 04:55, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
Oh, and the subst didn't work because I have placed a secret technique where vandalism will not be shown. Look at the code of my userpage closely ★ Poké95 00:39, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
o.O --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 04:55, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

  • How you add text after an edit conflict might work in a different way in the future. You can test the prototype. [28]

Artworks missing infobox template removal

Hi Zhuyifei1999, maybe your bot could also remove this category? I saw this category remaining after the bot edited this file. Regards, --Arnd (talk) 07:01, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Argh. Why does that category even exist? o.O IMHO, extra maintenance overhead. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 09:05, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
Maybe the creator (Jarekt) can tell us. --Arnd (talk) 09:22, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
On the beginning of working on files missing infobox template, I was trying an divide and conquer approach, looking for subgroups of images without infoboxes in hopes that people interested in those subgroups might adopt them and clean them out. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it did not. It is fine with me to throw all those files into Category:Media missing infobox template, if it causes problems. --Jarekt (talk) 11:59, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
Well, I don't think it cause any problems, but I lack the interest (and possibly time) to code my bot to work with yet another category. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 12:36, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

bots down?

Zhuyifei1999, Category:Media without a license: needs history check and Category:New uploads without a license are not being refreshed. Can you check on them? May be the bot should be logging dates and times of each task run so we can track it more easily. --Jarekt (talk) 14:03, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Same deadlock as last time:

I killed the two bot runs and updated to latest git master. Let's see if that helps on next run. As for logging, how about a signature to somewhere like User:YiFeiBot/pong/13? --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 14:14, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
The logging page will be getting a lot of edits so it should not be a page watched by many. User:YiFeiBot/pong/13 sounds good, but better approach might be to save date of the last update ({{date|2016|09|06}}) in User:YiFeiBot/pong/13, so it could become a template which could be transcluded in the categories of interest. --Jarekt (talk) 14:38, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

@Jarekt: It seems going into deadlocks every day and I have no idea why... :( --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 16:49, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
I never learned how to run bots off remote servers, so I would not be much help. Do you know anybody that is familiar with them? --Jarekt (talk) 19:51, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
The bot seems still broken. Maybe you can ask around on some technical mailing lists of what the issue could be. It must have been something that changed lately. --Jarekt (talk) 20:29, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
Aw I think I found the root cause of the deadlock after some very close reading. Let me ask a pywikibot maintainer for a confirmation. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 11:30, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
