Error report

On December 30th, 2017 I received this error:

“Request from 2001:980:7d75:1:2500:30e0:69c0:a33e via cp3031 cp3031, Varnish XID 94111781 Error: 503, Backend fetch failed at Sat, 30 Dec 2017 15:34:46 GMT”

Notice

Due to outside circumstances I won't be able to reply or contribute to any messages left on my talk page 📃 the coming Friday, but will try to reply as soon as possible either on Saturday or Monday. If there are any licensing or deletion notices in that time ⌚ don't expect a quick reply. Any requests to upload images will equally be temporarily left unanswered as I will be very busy in real life (more than usual) in that period. Thank you for understanding. --Donald Trung (Talk 💬) ("The Chinese Coin Troll" 👿) (Articles 📚) 10:30, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

The aforementioned circumstances are still in place but I will be uploading around a hundred PD-scans of Manchu (Qing), Chinese, 13 (thirteen) Colonial, Early US-American, and Hansatsu banknotes. I have contacted Mr. David B. Lok yesterday to upload more PD-banknotes to Wikimedia Commons and I am still awaiting a response from him. Do not expect any swift responses until Monday, though I shall try to be here on Saturday and Sunday (Sunday only in the morning).

Letters to David B. Lok

The Banknote Den is a website operated by author David B. Lok who wrote The Many Faces of Money (ISBN-13: 978-1482530650, ISBN-10: 1482530651). The website contains many high quality scans of extremely rare banknotes with a fair amount of details to them, I would still judge it as “inferior” information-wise to Wikipedia, but it does host a lot of images of banknotes that could (and should) find their way to Wikimedia Commons. To this end I contacted David B. Lok with a request to upload his images to Wikimedia Commons.

  • Making scans of your old banknotes available for educational purposes (04 D. 01 M. 2018 A.)

“Dear Mr. Lok,

I have recently come across your website and was amazed by all the high quality images of old banknotes you have. A man with a collection as yours could greatly do the world a favour and donate his images to educational websites like Wikipedia by uploading them to Wikimedia Commons. You can select a license to make sure that if anyone ever uses it outside of Wikipedia that they will have to attribute you. If you’re interested then feel free to e-mail me back.

Yours faithfully, Trung Quoc Don

Tech News: 2018-02

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

  • On Wikidata, the "save" button when you edit is now called "publish". This means all Wikimedia wikis have now changed from "Save page" to "Publish changes". This is to help new editors understand what it does. [1][2]
  • Some edits will get an automatic tag on all wikis. This will happen when making a page a redirect, blanking a page, removing almost all content, undoing an edit, or rolling back an edit. You can see the tags for example in the recent changes feed, article history, user contributions or on your watchlist. Some wikis had already marked edits like these in other ways. [3]
  • Special:UnusedFiles shows files that have been uploaded but are not used. It will show a file that is not used on the wiki it has been uploaded to, even if the file is used on another wiki. The new Special:GloballyUnusedFiles page on Commons only shows files that are not used on any wiki. [4]
  • Structured discussions now uses the 2017 wikitext editor instead of its old custom one. This will work with your preference for wikitext or visual editor. The documentation has been updated. [5][6]

Problems

  • Older versions of the Chrome web browser on mobile devices may see the PDF download button, but it does not work. The developers are looking into the problem. [7]
  • With the new filters in the recent changes, "Exclude selected" in "Namespaces" did not work for "Saved filters" between 13 December and 2 January. When you loaded the saved filter all other namespaces were excluded instead. This has now been fixed. If you made any changes to your saved filters between 13 December and 2 January, you need to save your filters with excluded namespaces again. [8]
  • The latest version of Google Chrome broke how section links are shown in the address bar. You now see #R%C3%A9sum%C3%A9 instead of #Résumé even if MediaWiki did not encode it that way. This happened in early December. This problem has been solved. The fix will be in Chrome 64 (23 January) or Chrome 65 (6 March). [9]
  • Some POST requests to the API took longer than usual in parts of December. This affected the Wikidata UI and some gadgets the most. It has now been fixed. [10]

Changes later this week

  • Wikidata will be moved to its own database servers. This is because it is growing and needs more resources. Because of this you will be able to read but not edit Wikidata and the German Wikipedia between 06:00 and 06:30 UTC on 9 January. You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. This includes editing the language links on other wikis. [11]
  • The font size in the editing window will change slightly for some users. It will now look the same on all browsers and operating systems. [12][13]
  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 January. It will be on all wikis from 11 January (calendar).
  • WikiEditor's ResourceLoader modules have been simplified to one: ext.wikiEditor. All the other modules are now deprecated aliases and should be removed. [14]

Meetings

  • You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 9 January at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
  • You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 10 January at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Code issues in User:Donald Trung/common.js

Hi Donald Trung, I am a bored bot (this is kind of a computer program) that is watching the recent changes and tapping buttons like I did now.

Curious about the reason? Possibly not but I will tell you anyway:

  1. You edited User:Donald Trung/common.js. Glad to see you coding in javascript! Have you ever considered becoming a MediaWiki hacker?
  2. Though, that change appears to introduce 1 new jshint issue — the page's status is now having ERRORS. Note that invalid or ambiguous code often has unwanted side effects like breaking other tools for you. If you cannot find out how to fix it, I suggest blanking the page for now.
  3. To help you understanding where the issues are, I have aggregated a report here and now. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask users experienced in javascript writing for help. But do not ask the bot's operators (chronically overwrought) unless you suspect an error of mine. If you prefer not getting spammed by me, you can opt-out reports by adding {{ValidationOptOut|type=all}} to your user page or cmb-opt-out anywhere on your your global user page on Meta. Good luck at Wikimedia Commons and happy hacking!

User:Artix Kreiger/common.js contains the code needed. just view the source and copy. Artix Kreiger (talk) 14:52, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
Thank you, but the code doesn't seem to work and my phone doesn't allow me to remove the earlier attempts. Maybe it just doesn't work because I edit from a wireless telephone. But still thank you for the information 🛈. --Donald Trung (Talk 💬) ("The Chinese Coin Troll" 👿) (Articles 📚) 16:29, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

 

I guess scripts best work from a computer, not a phone, since computers have software to support it. Artix Kreiger (talk) 17:13, 9 January 2018 (UTC)


IT WORKS. I am on computer now and it works on your talk page. I would say the scripts require a computer browser to load. I had tested it and it works. Artix Kreiger (talk) 17:14, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
Alright thank you, guess that I'll have to create a phabricator ticket 🎟 to allow for it to work on mobile 📱 devices. Have a nice day 😊.

Letters to the owner of banknote.ws

On January 11th, 2017 I sent a letter to the owner of Banknote.ws 💵 in the hopes that they would help me with uploading PD-scans of the banknotes hosted on their website to Wikimedia Commons. I’ve spent a lot of time looking for contact details from various website owners such as Gary Ashkenazy from Primaltrek / Primal Trek, Vladimir Belyaev from Charm.ru and Zeno.ru, and the likes of Dr. R. Allan Barker. Unfortunately Banknote.ws isn't the sole author of the scans so my request could be in vain. As Banknotes.ws hosts a lot of banknotes it will be long and tedious to do this by myself, so I hope 🤞🏻 that this request for help will be appreciated.

“Dear Reader,

Can you please upload all of your none copyrighted banknotes 💴 to Wikimedia Commons, the list 📃 of non-copyrighted currencies can be found here:

Unblock request

Hello Donald Trung,

I saw your request on IRC and am willing to restore your enwiki talk page access to allow you to request unblocking under the Standard offer. If you agree to the offer conditions, understand that there may additional conditions, and understand that your request may not be successful, I will restore your talk page. If so, you will need to wait until February (per condition #1) to make your unblock request. —DoRD (talk) 12:39, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

@DoRD: I accept, can you write down the exact date 📅 when I'm allowed to appeal on my enwiki TP? I will patiently wait until then. --Donald Trung (Talk 💬) ("The Chinese Coin Troll" 👿) (Articles 📚) 11:14, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
February 2, and I will leave a note on your enwiki talk page as well. On another subject, I caution you against using emojis on enwiki as you do here, and did there in the past. —DoRD (talk) 13:34, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Merci beaucoup

Avec un peu de retard, mais j'étais privé de notifications. Bonne continuation. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 109.213.110.189 (talk) 17:40, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Tech News: 2018-3

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

  • Bureaucrats on Wikimedia wikis where the Translate extension is installed can now add and remove the translation administrator permission by default. Administrators of wikis where this extension is enabled can add and remove this permission to or from themselves. Wikis that used a different configuration before have not changed. [15]
  • There is a new Discourse test support channel for Wikimedia developers. You can ask questions or answer others questions about MediaWiki and Wikimedia software development. [16]

Problems

  • Last week's MediaWiki update was rolled back. This was because of a bug that changed non-ASCII characters when a page was edited. [17][18]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 January. It will be on all wikis from 18 January (calendar).

Meetings

  • You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 16 January at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
  • You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 17 January at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

  • A few hundred wikis with less than ten high-priority errors in Linter categories will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 31 January. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed in the middle of 2018. [19][20]
