- Cool Mr Wizzard Eatcha! Can you also make a condition that the bot will not add a description in a language that is already there? Also there will be a few weird exceptions like this one: Template:Potd/2020-03-22 (en) --Podzemnik (talk) 04:48, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- Okay, will not add a description in a language that is already on the flle page, Template:Potd/2020-03-22 (en) looks fine to me, why is it weird ? //Eatcha (talk) 09:51, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Eatcha: Not adding the language that is already there is because there are a few users who's been adding the description in their languages. See eg. history of this photo. Template:Potd/2020-03-22 (en) is speacial because there is a lot of text about World Water Day which shouldn't be in the file's description. It's a text that's relevant only for the POTD description but not for the file's description. There might be only a few examples like that, I wouldn't bother too much about them. --Podzemnik (talk) 19:28, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
