User:SteinsplitterBot/FAQ
Why your bot rotated my file? edit
The bot is rotating filed upon users request. You can find details about the users who requested the rotation on the history page. If you have any questions regarding the rotation please ask the user who requested the rotation. If a rotation violated COM:OVERWRITE you may revert the rotation, but please notify the user who requested the rotation about the revert.
Note: Rotatebot will be replaced soon by a mediawiki function (rotateapi). See phabricator:T35186 for detail.
90 degree rotation has become a 180 degree rotation edit
Following the update (on 5 October 2011) of our server-side software (MediaWiki) Rotatebot takes the EXIF-specified orientation into account (and helps you to solve the problems with this change; more info at Commons:Rotation). Consequently, the degree parameter needs to be specified based on the thumbnails of the files. If the EXIF orientation is wrong, the file rotation might be wrong as well (Rotate the file by hand, or add again the rotation template).
The thumbs are distorted after rotation edit

Your bot is flooding my watchlist edit
You can hide bots from your watchlist or you can add the following script to your common.js to hide SteinsplitterBot edits from your watchlist:
if ( mw.config.get( 'wgPageName' ) === 'Special:Watchlist' ) {
$( '.mw-changeslist li:has(a.mw-userlink[title="User:SteinsplitterBot"])' ).hide();
}
Your bot changed a category, i disagree! edit
You can find the reason and the user who requested the category move in the edit summary. Please contact the user who requested the category move.
The bot changed the extension of a file edit
The bot is fixing MIME type mismatches file extension by moving them to the correct file extension. The fix itself is included since years in the Wikimedia Commons filemove tool.
The video/audio can't be played after the filemove edit
Just wait a bit (a few hours or days) until the cache is cleaned and the file has been transcoded.
