Dates

Hi, There's something wrong with the dates mentioned on your photos. It's no big deal but I thought you might want to fix it. -- Asclepias (talk) 05:52, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Welcome, Dear Filemover!

Hi Riley Huntley, you're now a filemover. When moving files please respect the following advice:

  • Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{Rename}} template to order a bot to replace all ocurrences of the old title with the new one. Or, if there was no rename-request, please use the Move & Replace-tab.
  • Please leave a redirect behind unless you have a valid reason not to do so. Other projects, including those using InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references. Please see this section of the file rename guideline for more information.
  • Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.

Hi, why did you move File:Calendula officinalis cultivars 1.jpg to File:Calendula officinalis cultivars 2.jpg? -- Rillke(q?) 10:17, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
I have absolutely no clue why I moved that file nor remember moving the file.. I must have moved it when fixing the files in my sandbox though, sorry! Riley Huntley (talk) 15:27, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Slaskie mapa fizyczna.png

Don't really know what happened here, but it seems I moved the file first and you removed the template. Did you got any edit conflict while doing this? It's kinda strange for me as it never happend before --Wiki13 20:35, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Hey, sorry! I didn't get any edit conflict warning. Again, sorry. Riley Huntley (talk) 21:51, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
Ok, no problem. This has never happened before and thats the reason why I asked here. Thanks for your answer :-) --Wiki13 09:23, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Rename request

Hi, you were wrong about that. This request falls under the reason # 5 of the guideline. --glossologist (talk) 07:52, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

I'm sorry, its just as seen here the template does not show that. If a request falls under a certain number on the criteria, please state so by putting the number in the template. Riley Huntley (talk) 08:07, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

Bot blanking pages

Hi, I fail to see any reason why your bot should possibly blank flies as in this file and here. --Foroa (talk) 07:08, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

  • Thanks for pointing this out, there is nothing wrong with the code (I ran that task with AWB) so this must be a race condition of some sort. Considering how I board a plane in an hour though, I will have to find any pages blanked when I get back. (I'm expecting around a dozen at most) Riley Huntley (talk) 13:27, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello! Your bot has been listed at Commons:Bots/Requests/de-flag 4 as being inactive for over two years. As a housekeeping measure we'd like to remove the bot flag from inactive bot accounts, unless you expect the bot will be operated again in the near future. If you consent to the removal of the bot flag (or do not reply on the deflag page) you can rerequest the bot flag at Commons:Bots/Requests should you need it again.

No problem

Thanks anyway for not letting yourself to be manipulated by bunch of lies.---Have a nice weekend ( Mona778 (talk) 06:23, 7 February 2016 (UTC) )

@Mona778: Anytime, glad to help! You too~ Riley Huntley (talk) 06:29, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Contact bot op

you said: "The only reason why the link was redlinked was because the category was a redirect needing to be deleted to allow for a move, it was shortly after created. "

Life would be a lot easier if the bot operator created the new category before moving a bunch of files to it. It takes about 30 seconds.

Now I know the correct procedure. I see from the rileybot talk page I wasn't the only one to catch your error.

Yours Roseohioresident (talk) 07:47, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

@Roseohioresident: You seem to still think it was an error, so let me explain once more. The new category, could not be created, because it already existed in the form of a category redirect. Therefore, the files were moved to it, and it was marked with {{Speedy}} - Delete to make way for category move. The administrators then deleted the category, per standard policy. It was at this point you, and other other user who commented noticed the page as non-existant (deletion log clearly stated the reason for why it was a redlink). As soon as I was notified the category was deleted, the bot moved the category, and it's history, to fill the red link. So no, it does not take about 30 seconds. In this case, it took about a day. There was no error. I hope you now understand, and I thank you for taking the time to respond. Enjoy the rest of your weekend :) Riley Huntley (talk) 07:53, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
I guess I don't understand, but I'll take your word for it. I'm changing the category to Category:Black and white portrait photographs of men of the United States anyhow. I accept you acted in good faith and competently. Roseohioresident (talk) 08:19, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

License review edits

Hi. I see that on 02:01 February 5, you made a bunch of edits marking files with {{LicenseReview}}. [1][2][3][4] Unfortunately, that's not very useful if those files don't have links to where they appear on external web sites. As the template says. See, that's pretty much all that License review is - we reviewers follow those links to those sites, and say, "yup, that file was there all right, and marked with that license". (Or not, as the case may be. There are cases when the file is there, and marked, but we can tell that it was so marked inappropriately, that's useful too at times.) But if these files are, as these files you marked, uploaded by the user without being first downloaded from some external web site, there isn't anything we can verify. So if you think they need to be nominated for deletion, then do that. But please don't send them to LicenseReview, as we don't have anything to review. Thanks. --GRuban (talk) 19:14, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

@GRuban: Oops, my mistake, I was hitting my License Review tool (gadget i've made for easy tagging) thats right under the No Permission tool I was aiming for. It makes no sense for those to go your guys way, you already have a large enough backlog. Thanks for pointing out my mistake and reverting my edits! Riley Huntley (talk) 19:57, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
It would probably be (slightly) better to leave an edit comment such as 'requesting license review with script', just to be more clear. Revent (talk) 03:16, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Congratulations, Dear license reviewer

If you use the helper scripts, you will find the links next to the search box (vector) or as single tabs (monobook). They are named license+ and license-.

Hi Riley Huntley, thanks for your request for license reviewer status. The request has been closed as successful, and you've been added to the list of reviewers. You can now start reviewing files – please see Commons:License review and Commons:Flickr files if you haven't done so already. We also have a guide how to detect copyright violations. Potential backlogs include Flickr review, Picasa review, Panoramio review, and files from other sources. You can use one of the following scripts by adding one of the lines to your common.js:

importScript('User:ZooFari/licensereviewer.js'); // stable script for reviewing images from any kind of source OR
importScript('User:Rillke/LicenseReview.js'); // contains also user notification when review fails, auto blacklist-check and auto-thank you message for Flickr-reviews.

You can also add {{User license reviewer}} to your user page if you wish. Thank you for your contributions on Commons! Revent (talk) 11:53, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Done, and cheers! Riley Huntley (talk) 18:32, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

'credit bar' images

When cropping those, you should really add {{Attribution metadata from licensed image}} to the file page. Not a huge beal, but good practice. Thanks. Revent (talk) 07:51, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

@Revent: Thanks for letting me know, I had no idea of its existence! Thanks for putting a note on the category as well, good thinking. :) Riley Huntley (talk) 00:11, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
@Revent: Sorry, follow up question; If an image has a watermark and a credit bar, and you remove the credit bar but the watermark still remains, would you still add it? Riley Huntley (talk) 03:53, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
@Riley Huntley: Yeah, since the 'metadata' in the credit bar isn't the same as that in the watermark... you would also use {{Watermark}} at the same time, though. The 'real' purpose of the 'attribution metadata' template is to track images which have been modified in such a way, since though we 'believe' that it's legal and in compliance with the license, if some later court decides otherwise we'd have to change them all back... which would suck. Unlikely, but we should track it. Revent (talk) 12:25, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Wieerd... caching issue, I guess. I still see it in thumbs, but not (now) the full resolution, ever after flushing my cache. I blame the devs, for moving the image servers across multiple datacenters without making sure they stay in sync. Revent (talk) 00:02, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

@Revent: With most of these files after I crop them, I notice either the thumb and/or full resolution out of sync. Thats why I didn't figure it was worth it to mention to you, definitely something we can blame on the devs! Cheers, Riley Huntley (talk) 00:04, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
It's not the only 'seemingly related' issue that has come up recently, the WMF uses several datacenters... until very recently, the 'image servers' were all at one, but they have been decentralized, and don't been to be staying completely in sync. We actually, explicitly, verified though people seeing different versions using traceroute to figure out which server they were seeing, and then having a dev nuke the cached thumbnails on specific servers, that it was indeed an issue. It should not affect, from my understanding, looking at the actual 'full size' image, but even what's on a file page is usually a thumbnail..... Revent (talk) 00:12, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
@Revent: Pardon me, yes, I was meaning the file history thumbnail and main thumbnail leading to the full resolution. Thanks for explaining. I'm slowly going through the credit bar categories you have repopulated, thanks for doing that! Cheers, Riley Huntley (talk) 00:25, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Watermark tag

I've removed the watermark tag you added here. Seems you didn't read the image despcription. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 14:59, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

@SergeWoodzing: You are correct, I did not read the image description because I was operating under the assumption that you were using Category:Images with watermarks as intended, a global maintenance category. For future reference, please do not manually add this category, as outlined on the category page. While I apologize for my edit, I'm glad to see we have corrected both of our errors. :) Cheers! Riley Huntley (talk) 19:39, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
"as outlined on the category page"? I didn't see that then, and I don't see it now. Please quote, if I'm missing something that's there, that tells us not to "manually add this category". I'm always glad learn and to admit when I've made an error, but I don't appreciate being accused of one without any tangeable evidence. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 15:53, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
@SergeWoodzing: Sorry for the late reply, I received two messages and only noticed one. Identifying someone's error is not an accusation, or at least, shouldn't be viewed as one. The category does state "Files are placed in this category by adding the template {{Watermark}} to the files' description pages.

Thanks for uploading File:4X-CPW ErezS.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.)

If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.

Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Bad bot edits

Riley, This edit broke link to OTRS ticket. There is no easy way to convert "ticket" parameters to "id" parameters other that follow the link to the ticket on OTRS and copy the 16-digit ID. Please correct other tickets you might have broken and test your edits, as the file page clearly displayed the error code after your change. --Jarekt (talk) 16:49, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

@Jarekt: Interesting, this specific change should have changed "TicketNumber" links, not "TicketID". My DB search shows that was the only page that my bot changed a "TicketID", thanks for letting me know. :)

Male masturbation deletion request: Revert?

Hi, I just saw that you reverted my deletion request for the male masturbation video that is highly problematic, meeting the criteria of offensice sexually explicit material for which you can be fined with up to 5 years in jail. see here:

Summary Description English: A demonstration of the vertical distance of a 24 year old male's ejaculation. 2257 Child Protection and Obscenity Enforcement Act warning This work, which was made after November 1, 1990 and depicts one or more actual human beings engaged in sexually explicit conduct—including but not limited to "lascivious exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of any person" (USC 18 § 2256)—has record-keeping requirements in the United States under the Child Protection and Obscenity Enforcement Act (18 U.S.C. 2257). Any content reuser in the United States who "publishes, reproduces, or reissues" this work and also qualifies as a "secondary producer" under this Act must document the age and identity of all performers depicted, or face penalties of up to five years in prison per infraction. Wikimedia Commons is not obligated to keep these records and is not responsible for failure to acquire records by content reusers. The scope and constitutionality of this law are very unclear - see meta:Legal/Age Record Requirement for further information. This notice is only a warning, and the absence of this notice should not be interpreted as indicating an absence of any legal obligations. Notes: This tag should not be used for mere nudity. Sexually explicit images of minors should be deleted and reported. Date 16 June 2009 Source Own work Author Rmark https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ejaculation_intensity_vertical.gif

I am sorry if I made a technical or editorial mistake which I am not aware of. But still my request should be quite clear. So once again my request: Could you delete the videos in question? Thank you. It would simplify the matter and keep me from asking at other level. Happy holiday! --BlaueWunder (talk) 10:51, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello, BlaueWunder. My actions reflect the consensus of the community, which was clear in Commons:Deletion requests/File:Ejaculation intensity vertical.gif and Commons:Deletion requests/Files of user Rmark. I personally do not wish to see these files on Commons, but it meets our policy on the matter. If you wish to speak about legal obligations regarding Wikimedia Commons and it's users, I invite you to email legal@wikimedia.org and/or contact Jalexander-WMF (talk · contribs). Thank you for your understanding, Riley Huntley (talk) 17:49, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
Hello Riley Huntley,sorry, but I cannot understand your interpretation of this policy. In fact, it was Jimbo Wales himself who deleted this and similar videos and pictures in 2010 and later (https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Masturbation&diff=next&oldid=74046412), but obviously once you erase one item, ten others grow in its place. The same dynamics that motivate IS terrorists. Back to the project´s scope: "Commons is not an amateur porn site" is one of the basic creeds.[5] Then, as I pointed out, the male masturbation with ejaculation is not lawful according to the US legal system, which requires immediate deletion: "Files and other materials which are not lawful for Commons to host on its servers in Virginia will be deleted immediately upon being identified as unlawful (this includes copyright violations), even if the material otherwise falls within Commons scope, as set out above." [6] The most powerful argument is its illegality and the threat of imprisonment, please see the tag:
Male masturbate - 2257 - Child Protection and Obscenity Enforcement Act warning
This work, which was made after November 1, 1990 and depicts one or more actual human beings engaged in sexually explicit conduct—including but not limited to "lascivious exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of any person" (USC 18 § 2256)—has record-keeping requirements in the United States under the Child Protection and Obscenity Enforcement Act (18 U.S.C. 2257). Any content reuser in the United States who "publishes, reproduces, or reissues" this work and also qualifies as a "secondary producer" under this Act must document the age and identity of all performers depicted, or face penalties of up to five years in prison per infraction. Wikimedia Commons is not obligated to keep these records and is not responsible for failure to acquire records by content reusers. The scope and constitutionality of this law are very unclear - see meta:Legal/Age Record Requirement for further information.
This notice is only a warning, and the absence of this notice should not be interpreted as indicating an absence of any legal obligations.
It is also doubtful what licence the original version has: Original file ‎(Ogg Theora video file, length 15 s, 1,168 × 752 pixels, 2.1 Mbps),see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Male_masturbation_followed_by_ejaculation.ogv
I am flabbergasted that this warning does not lead to an automatic deletion process, since so many gifted IT specialists capable of programming more demanding bots work here. If you do not find yourself in the position to delete the files in question, I take it that you have no objection if I use this correspondence in my future attempts to clear this and similar illustration matters. Regards, --BlaueWunder (talk) 23:24, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
The community voted in both discussions for the file to not be deleted, the discussion was closed as a reflection of the community decision. I am not in the position to delete the files in question as I am not an administrator, therefore I cannot further assist you with your request. I am sorry that I cannot be of further assistance, I recommend posting to Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard in regards to the matter. Riley Huntley (talk) 23:29, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) @BlaueWunder (talk · contribs), Riley has given you the method to pursue this matter and has followed the consensus of the community on the close of the Deletion Nomination. Please feel free to take this to Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard, and or email legal@wikimedia.org and/or contact Jalexander-WMF (talk · contribs). Please do not continue to badger Riley over this. If you feel the close was wrongfully kept, those are your two avenues of recourse at this moment. Sincerely yours, Ellin Beltz (talk) 14:56, 28 March 2016 (UTC) P.S. I formatted parts of the foregoing discussion to make it more clear which were quotations and which were your actual text. Ellin Beltz (talk) 14:56, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
Thank you all for your patient replies to my enervating, repetitive edits, Ellin Beltz and Riley Huntley. It was beyond my imagination when I read Riley´s response and thought he must have understood something wrongly. Is it true that the users´votes are more important than the law and have more weight than Jimmy Wales´ clearing up activities? Or did the voters just ignore the warning note? - Thanks again for pointing out tthe two options. I will keep an eye on this topic- Good night (from Europe, where it is midnight). --BlaueWunder (talk) 21:58, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Look, you don't need to keep on, with the messages. I have not uploaded any images since someone complained about a copyright issue. I get your point, OK? Jasonanaggie (talk) 22:23, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

@Jasonanaggie: Thank you for finally responding, communication is key when trying to work as a team to improve Commons. I have responded to you on Commons:Administrators' noticeboard. The messages were automatically added to your talk page when tagging them as copyright violations, simply removing the tags is not recommended. Riley Huntley (talk) 22:39, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
Alright I hope this can resolve the issue then, I will stick to just fixing Wikipedia pages with information instead of adding graphics, as it looks far too objective for someone to just dismiss someone's creation as a copyright violation. I am not trying to harm the site, as I am a contributing member of the Wikimedia Foundation.Jasonanaggie (talk) 22:46, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
@Jasonanaggie: Your presence on Commons is more than welcome, and we need more volunteers. As previously mentioned in regards to copyright, we just need to ensure your contributions are your own creation and not directly taken from Apple's website (for example). If you have access to a camera, I would recommend taking your own pictures and uploading them in accordance with COM:Licensing. Riley Huntley (talk) 22:50, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi

Thanks again. You can rename File:Sl-Samir Handanović.ogg to -.oga to complete the process (I wouldn't be able to report it anyway - it'd change back to "ogg" before accepting). I was very reluctant to manually change the .ogg extension to .oga, but since all mods are doing it here (and all that is changed is the name, the file is left untouched), I guess I'll be doing that from now on.

Pointers on COM:REFUND procedure

Hi Riley. Just a couple pointers that I have gathered from my time requesting undeletion that you may wish to consider (they're not requirements, just general practices that may help smoother running and/or quicker turnaround): a) please link the ticket numbers so that they are just one click away for an OTRS member: I know copying and pasting is easy, but a single click is easier... you can do that with the "ticket" link prefix, i.e. like [[ticket:2016040509360101]]; b) instead of asking the undeleting admin to check the license/add the OTRS template, it's generally better if the OTRS member who dealt with the ticket does that, because it is otherwise not clear to non-OTRS volunteers who dealt with the ticket. Just my 2c, take 'em or leave 'em. Cheers! Storkk (talk) 09:36, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

  • Thanks, Storkk, for the pointers! I haven't had to request many files for undeletion so when I did, I was just guessing on the format of what to say. Now I know; I'll take your 2c, and any more change you've got laying around. Riley Huntley (talk) 17:32, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Renaming files

You've been mentioned at Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/User_problems#Riley_Huntley.

-- Cirt (talk) 12:34, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Could you please tell me why you renamed all those files ? Sometimes loosing information about them, like the place of the speaker. There is many accents in french, as in english, and I find it damaging to lose this info. Furthermore, some files are part of an ongoing project of mine, and I'm a little bit disappointed that you didn't discuss those renamings with the uploaders. Pleclown (talk) 16:40, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
Pleclown Can you give me a specific example? I don't believe you're talking about these type;
  • Riley Huntley (talk | contribs) moved page File:DésoléF.ogg to File:Fr-Désolé.oga
  • Riley Huntley (talk | contribs) moved page File:Je ne comprends pasF.ogg to File:Fr-Je ne comprends pas.oga
  • Riley Huntley (talk | contribs) moved page File:Pays du monde - Prononciation française - Algérie.ogg to File:Fr-Algérie.oga.
In regards to discussing with the uploaders, the uploader for majority of these files has not edited in over a year. (Jjackoti) In the future; it's a courtesy to not only attempt to resolve an issue with a user before posting to an administrator noticeboard and also a courtesy to notify the user (thank you Cirt). Riley Huntley (talk) 17:29, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
I'm going to assume you're discussing the Paris French files (if not, ignore my babbling); I as well have an on-going project with pronunciations (not just limited to French). I moved the files to harmonize with the rest, there are hundreds of non-Paris french files named as "Fr-" (before I started moving) and it seemed most logical to do the following: harmonize the file names, properly categorize them (Category:Paris French pronunciation) similarly to Category:Quebec French pronunciation and making sure all the descriptions clarify the accent in use. (relevant contribs) I am sorry if I have interfered with your project, unfortunately there is little way to tell what someone has on-going. If you're interested in help with whatever you have on-going, I'd be glad to assist. I've still got more work to do and any advice is appreciated! :) Riley Huntley (talk) 19:16, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
In relation to the descriptions of these files, I have opened Commons:Translators' noticeboard#Parisan French, Metropolitan French or Paris accent? as I'd like to be politically correct when adding the new-to-me template Template:Pronunciation.

Sorry, as I said on the thread at AN/U, I wanted to post on AN. I had both pages open, and I wrote in the wrong tab. My apologies. Furthermore, I thought that using the {{u}} template would notify you.

@Pleclown: Regardless of where you were attempting to post to (AN/U, AN), prior discussion is still required.

  1. It is not used as a template for closing discussions on administrators' noticeboards
  2. It is the job of an admin to close discussions.

See this diff. I added {{Section resolved}} before on COM:AN/B, but Steinsplitter reverted it. So can you kindly revert your edit please? Thanks, ★ Poké95 05:51, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for changing the template. ★ Poké95 06:08, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for your additional comment which caused me to edit conflict (which apparently mobile commons cannot handle) and lose my paragraph response. If you would have waited a bit longer, I would have mentioned me changing the template to the one I intended. As for closing the discussion, it is a discussion that required no admin intervention and the user withdrew their request for unprotection. If an administrator feels the need to revert my edit, they can do so. Riley Huntley (talk) 06:13, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
Lol, your welcome. :) (IMO, mobile editing sucks, I actually use the desktop version in my iPad.) ★ Poké95 06:29, 6 April 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. [7]

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. [8]

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. [9]
  • 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. [10]
  • 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. [11]
  • The button to read something in another language will move for mobile users. This will happen on 9 August. [12]
  • 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. [13]
  • 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. [14]

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.

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. [15]
  • Creating and editing links to sections on other pages on the wiki now works again in the visual editor. [16]
  • 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. [17][18]

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. [19]
  • Some abuse filters will have to be updated during the week. This is because a bug will be fixed. [20]
  • 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". [21][22]
  • 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. [23]
  • 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. [24]

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

  • The ORES review tool is now available on Special:Contributions as a beta feature. It can make it easier to find contributions that are probably damaging the wikis. The ORES review tool is available on Wikidata and Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Dutch, Turkish and Russian Wikipedia. [25]
  • The norm and ccnorm functions have been updated to make it easier to write abuse filters. This also affects the TitleBlacklist extension. You don't have to transform "I" and "L" to "1", "O" to "0" and "S" to "5" anymore. [26]
  • The old pageview data in the "pagecounts-raw" and "pagecounts-all-sites" files is no longer being updated. You can find the new pageview data here. This happened on August 5. [27]

Problems

  • Some big image files could not be thumbnailed. This has now been fixed. [28]
  • When you moved a page over a redirect it would delete the redirect without saving it in the logs. This has now been fixed. [29]

Changes this week

Future changes

  • Sometimes when you mention another user they don't get a notification. You will be able to get a notification when you successfully sent out a mention to someone or be told if they did not get a notification. This will be opt-in. You can test this on the test wiki. [30][31]
  • How you add text after an edit conflict might work in a different way in the future. You can test the prototype. [32]
