Bots
[edit]
You are receiving this message because a technical change may affect a bot, gadget, or user script you have been using. The breaking change involves API calls. This change has been planned for two years. The WMF will start making this change on 30 June 2015. A partial list of affected bots can be seen here: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2015-June/081931.html This includes all bots that are using pywikibot compat. Some of these bots have already been fixed. However, if you write user scripts or operate a bot that uses the API, then you should check your code, to make sure that it will not break.
What, exactly, is breaking? The "default continuation mode" for action=query requests to api.php will be changing to be easier for new coders to use correctly. To find out whether your script or bot may be affected, then search the source code (including any frameworks or libraries) for the string "query-continue". If that is not present, then the script or bot is not affected. In a few cases, the code will be present but not used. In that case, the script or bot will continue working.
This change will be part of 1.26wmf12. It will be deployed to test wikis (including mediawiki.org) on 30 June, to non-Wikipedias (such as Wiktionary) on 1 July, and to all Wikipedias on 2 July 2015.
If your bot or script is receiving the warning about this upcoming change (as seen at https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages ), it's time to fix your code!
- The simple solution is to simply include the "rawcontinue" parameter with your request to continue receiving the raw continuation data (example <https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&rawcontinue=1>). No other code changes should be necessary.
- Or you could update your code to use the simplified continuation documented at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Query#Continuing_queries (example <https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&continue=>), which is much easier for clients to implement correctly.
Either of the above solutions may be tested immediately, you'll know it works because you stop seeing the warning.
Do you need help with your own bot or script? Ask questions in e-mail on the mediawiki-api or wikitech-l mailing lists. Volunteers at m:Tech or w:en:WP:Village pump (technical) or w:en:Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard may also be able to help you.
Are you using someone else's gadgets or user scripts? Most scripts are not affected. To find out if a script you use needs to be updated, then post a note at the discussion page for the gadget or the talk page of the user who originally made the script.

News program screenshots
[edit]Hi. I've been approving some of your uploads from YouTube Agerpres and Accent TV, but I'm less sure about others. Let me explain by example:
- File:Ioana Petrescu (2014-11-27).png or File:Monica Anghel.png - clearly it's an interview with her by Agerpres, so clearly Agerpres has the rights to release it.
- File:Ruxanda Glavan (miniatura).png or File:Nicolae Juravschi (Accent TV).png - this is just a static photograph that Accent TV projected during their program. It's not clear they took the photograph, so it's not clear they have the rights to release it. Quite possibly they only had the rights to show it in that program, not to release it for general free reuse. --GRuban (talk) 15:11, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

Welcome, Dear Filemover!

Hi XXN, 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.

The only Flickr review was requested yesterday. The bot couldn't confirm the license because the source says "all rights reserved". Green Giant (talk) 19:58, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Categories
[edit]Please dont remove proper categories from other user uploaded images. Thanks. Cap1000 (talk) 17:06, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Cap1000: Welcome to Wikimedia Commons. All your uploaded images now are a common good:)
- In this specific case, I've created a dedicated category for the subject of this photograph (Maia Sandu) and all generic categories were and should be added to that category. --XXN, 17:46, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi again) Yes your right. Now, when category (Maia Sandu) is category (Women in politics) subcat. all images related with this person should be added to that category. I didnt see that you have created new subcat, sorry) Cap1000 (talk) 18:08, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
