Commons:Categories for discussion

[1] And where is the place for such proposals? Adelfrank (talk) 22:06, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

@Adelfrank: Actually I don’t think there’s a designated place for proposing the deletion of hundreds of categories—it simply doesn’t happen often enough to warrant for an own process. Normal proposals affecting only one category per proposal go to Commons:Categories for discussion’s subpages, but I think such large-scale proposals are best started at COM:VPPROP. (By the way, I have no substantive opinion on your proposal, just wanted to make sure that it’s not at a place it should not be.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 22:37, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

deletion of hundreds of categories ? - There are 36 no more in Category:Vocalists by gender by country from User:Rafic.Mufid or him [2] and some others Adelfrank (talk) 22:52, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

when Categories for discussion not the place for Categories for discussion is - God help me Adelfrank (talk) 22:52, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

@Adelfrank: It looks like you were not only at the wrong place, but you weren’t clear enough for me to understand what you want—I read your proposal both in English and German, and I thought you want to delete all vocalists by gender by place categories, including female vocalists by place and male vocalists by place categories. This is literally hundreds of categories (151 subcategories at Category:Female vocalists by country, 102 at Category:Male vocalists by country), and quite substantial change to get greater publicity than a subpage followed by not more than a handful of people. If you want to delete only categories literally named “by gender,” probably following the process outlined in Commons:Categories for discussion#Listing multiple categories on this "Categories for discussion" page is enough, which includes creating a separate subpage for the proposal instead of writing it at the bottom of the main page. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 23:21, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Done - The problem is my very bad English I know - Next better in hungarian? - köszönöm -Adelfrank (talk) 23:40, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

POTY "View results" button

Hi! Please note, that "class=ui-button-blue poty-header-button-arrow" is not worked correctly - see {{POTY2019/header}}. Code "& #160;", added through CSS, is not parsed in the result html-code. Propose replace this in the {{POTY2019/header/styles.css}} to normal space.--Kaganer (talk) 15:15, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

@Kaganer: It’s a regular space. If you open the CSS page for editing, it has nothing special about it, while hard-to-distinguish characters like non-breaking space (U+00A0), right-to-left mark (U+200F) etc. should be displayed as pink rectangles with red dots. It’s a MediaWiki bug (I think it’s the same as phab:T255007), and we can’t do much about it. The good thing is POTY is not running at the moment, and hopefully the bug will have been fixed by the time it does. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 11:42, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, this is really maybe this same bug. I will watch for this. --Kaganer (talk) 12:38, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

@Kaganer: By the way, you can display character escapes by prefixing them with &:  → . —Tacsipacsi (talk) Tacsipacsi (talk) 23:52, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

An issue in Template:POTY2019/header

I just have noticed that after this change on the blue button there is   (I believe it is equivalent of  ) instead of a (non-breaking) space between the text and double right arrow. It seems that poty-header-button-arrow is not defined properly but I do not know how to fix it. --jdx ^Re: 14:53, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

Template:Lifetime needed

Thank you for changing the translation structure of {{Morevols}}. Would you mind adding a Hungarian version to {{Lifetime needed}}? I am also struggling to get the template data to work in the documentation. So your help would be appreciated. De728631 (talk) 23:02, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

@De728631: Hungarian translation added. What’s wrong with the TemplateData? It looks OK to me. (I moved the categorization of the template itself to the documentation subpage to keep the main template as lightweight as possible, but I don’t think this is what you asked for. I also disabled the translation of the template title, as it doesn’t make any sense to translate the title of a subpage which is never viewed by anyone directly, only transcluded.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 13:36, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

I had some trouble activating the translation extension but apparently it's working now. Thank you for adding the hu version, and Merry Christmas. De728631 (talk) 15:55, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

Template documentation

https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Wikiportrait/doc&oldid=525024908

For some reason the underlying template is generating an unmatched <code> tag seemingly.

Closing up unecessary whitespace is typically the first step in trying to figure out why.

ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 23:58, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

@ShakespeareFan00: One newline versus two newlines rarely makes a difference (especially as the parameter it belongs to isn’t even literally output, but rather matched and a totally new text is output), so I can’t imagine in what case it could have helped. But if you’ve used the edit summary to explain your intentions, I would’ve at least understood what was going on. By the way, Template:TemplateDataInfo/i18n/tr has the same error, so it has to do something with that template. Maybe the linter messes up parsing

<code><nowiki><nowiki></nowiki></code>

and it thinks that there are two nested <nowiki> tags, of which the second is not closed, and thus thinks that the closing </code> is nowiki’d? (The /en subpage also shows the presence of the error with action=info, but that page doesn’t tell anything more than the error count, and I couldn’t find that page on the special page’s listing.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 00:23, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Yes the nested Nowiki would do it.. There must be a better way of showing a tag.. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 00:26, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

@ShakespeareFan00: There is, I just used it above: using HTML/XML character escapes for the less-than/greater-than signs, and not using nowiki at all. (By the way, I’m not 100% sure this is the cause of the lint error, it was just a wild guess.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 00:55, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

sorry for my mistake

I notice you undid my edit on Template:Main2. I just removed some interwiki links and those may outdated. For example pl:Szablon:Main, is moved to pl:Szablon:Osobny_artykuł. Since other versions work normally, I mistakenly believe that this has been replaced by Wikidata. I am sorry for this mistake. But if possible, I still hope that those Interwiki links that may be updated at any time can be reduced or deleted. Best wishes, LaMagiaaa (talk) 14:27, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

@LaMagiaaa: No problem, but it’s always useful to check your assumptions before publishing the edit (or at least immediately after that). As far as I see, unfortunately you need to disable the new wikitext mode in your preferences to see the languages sidebar before publishing (but you can check the links after publishing even with the new wikitext mode on).

Interlanguage links should be replaced by Wikidata wherever possible, but as far as I know, there’s no automated process to create the links in case of templates (there’s some automation in case of categories and maybe also galleries, but nothing more), and no interlanguage links appear without the template being linked to Wikidata. Wikidata is also more constrained than wikitext interlanguage links; it’s impossible to rely entirely on Wikidata for this template, because the Wikidata item d:Q6797933 has two equivalents on Commons ({{Main gallery}} and {{Main2}}), of which at most one can be connected to the item. {{Interwiki from Wikidata}} could be used instead of completely manual links, but it works only in categories… —Tacsipacsi (talk) 18:24, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

@Tacsipacsi: Yes, I will check more careful before my edit. But it's possible to add a link to {{Main gallery}} in doc and say interwiki link is here? The current plan can hardly be updated in time. I checked some link and some of them is outdated and the link is not all. Maybe it's better to direct users to Wikidata so that can make it more convenient for users who find other languages. Or just leave a link to English Wikipedia, this can also reduce the frequency of updates. I don't know if these two options are doable. Hope you can put forward your views.--LaMagiaaa (talk) 10:46, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

@LaMagiaaa: I utilized {{Interwiki from Wikidata}} (now it works on templates as well), so there’s no need to manually maintain the links anymore. By the way, I checked all links on Friday, and none of them were broken—some were redirects, but those lead to the right place just like non-redirects. Removing all interlanguage links but the English one would have been the worst solution IMO—to avoid the slight possibility of users not lead to the right page, it would have made it certain. Adding a link to Wikidata somewhere in the documentation is a bit better as users are aware that they may—or may not—find a link to their Wikipedia after clicking the link, but the link would have been in an unusual place; manually placing a Wikidata link in the sidebar is not possible. Anyways, now all interwikis are in the sidebar, automatically updated from Wikidata. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 21:27, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Tacsipacsi: Thank you for taking the trouble. In my impression, these Interwiki links generally do not appear in the form of redirects. So I think they are not in a stable state. Anyway, Thanks. I will be more cautious in the future.--LaMagiaaa (talk) 05:19, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

WLA

Hello. I am not a super fan of your reversions on the WLA navigation system languages such as here. I do understand your point, but... some pages are still pending someone to translate them. And when a user explicitely put in his preferences that interface should be in a certain language, why denying him that on the WLA navigation system ? Is there a technical reason I am missing here ? Right now, when I am on Commons, my preferences are set to French. So whatever the page I travel to, English or French, my navigation system in the interface is in French. It does not change languages each time I jump to another page; It stays in French. Why would we not be able to propose the same situation on WLA ?

Also, there is something annoying in the fact that, with my switch, when I travel from one page to another page, the menu stays in French and so do the links. When there is a French translation, it automatically serves me with the page in French. When there is no translation, it serves me with the page in English, but the menu stays in French and if I click on this menu, I go to French speaking pages by default (if translated)

With your modification, I ALWAYS revert to English in the menu. Which means the links get by default to the English version of the page, EVEN WHEN there is a French version. And each time, I have to click again on the language choice to access the French version. So your option not only force me into a menu in English alternating with French, but it also forces me to always see the English page by default and having to click again to see French.

Again... this is not how Wikimedia Commons works by default. By default, I see the navigation in the language in my preferences. Not in the language of the page I go to. What are the reasons not to provide this as well on WLA portal ? Please explain

Anthere (talk) 18:18, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

@Anthere: The technical reason here is that logged-out users cannot set their interface language permanently—only desktop can do so at all and even that persists only for ten days.

However, the non-technical reason is much stronger: you set in your preferences what language the interface should be in, and this menu is part of the content, not the interface. File description pages use the interface language in content as well as there’s no other way to set language preferences there, but on Commons pages there is in the form of language-specific subpages (and most Commons pages that use language-specific subpages use the page language for templates wherever possible), and the non-template part of the content will not depend on the user interface language anyways.

The links on French pages should point to other French pages, however—unfortunately this only works on pages translated using the Translate extension (e.g. Commons:Wiki Loves Africa 2021/Media/fr), because otherwise the internal page language used by the {{Pg}} template is set to English. This causes other issues as well like wrong text alignment on Arabic pages (it displays left to right instead of right to left) and screen reader incompatibilities, so the solution is to switch pages to translation using the extension. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 20:28, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Given the changes to make it look like that didn't require discussion (especially replacing the image that's been there for years to a title...), I'm putting how it looked previously back where it was. Unless you have a better reason, please don't revert me again. Thanks. 1989 (talk) 18:09, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

@1989: Of course the initial version of a template rarely requires discussion about the appearance. (Cf. the original version from August 2007. The only, slight, difference is the border color; we could revert that one as well.) Also, I’d like to note that there’s no COM:BOLD here. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 00:44, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Neither is there any policy or guideline for such substantial changes (especially dropping the title) should not be done without prior discussion. With that said, my message still stands. 1989 (talk) 02:18, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you

Hi Tacsipacsi, Thank you for replacing the hideous button, It's not a button I've ever used nor clicked on (probably because I could never read it to begin with! :)) but I still appreciate you taking the time out of your day to do this.
It's a job we have editors such as yourself here who make improvements such as this!, Anyway thanks again greatly appreciated!,

Template:Potd description

Szia! Ezután a szerkesztés után a sablon szerkesztését segítő felső felirat nem működik. Én keresem rossz helyen vagy csak türelmetlen vagyok és a Translatewikiből ez több időbe telik, mire frissül? -- ato (talk) 16:28, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

@Ato 01: Milyen felső felirat? Nem szándékoztam a működésen bármilyen módon változtatni. Egyébként ennek semmi köze a translatewikihez azon túl, hogy a translatewikin is ugyanez a Translate kiterjesztés működik; minden adat a Commonson van, így legfeljebb egy-két perc alatt magának a sablonnak a fordításának is élesednie kell (ellentétben a translatewiki legrosszabb esetben akár tíz napos csúszásával). Ráadásul ez csak a sablon fordítása – a képaláírások és fájlnevek módosításai elvileg pontosan ugyanúgy működnek, mint eddig. – Tacsipacsi (talk) 16:56, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Akkor nem ezzel van kapcsolatban, de az új képaláírás készítésénél még két hete-hónapja egy segítő szöveg egy példasablonnal volt látható a szerkesztő ablak felett. -- ato (talk) 17:05, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

@Ato 01: Ja hogy az editnotice… Még öt napja is jó volt – múlt szerdán este vandálkodott valaki az editnotice által használt nem védett sablonban, teljesen függetlenül az én két héttel korábbi szerkesztésemtől. – Tacsipacsi (talk) 17:31, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Köszönöm! Te ezt honnan láttad? Soha nem jöttem volna rá, hogy ezt az oldalt is használja. Még szerencse, hogy van nekünk egy Tacsipacsink. :) -- ato (talk) 18:25, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

@Ato 01: Én meg azt köszönöm, hogy szóltál, különben ki tudja hány hétig maradt volna ott. A https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Potd/2021-09-12_(hu)&action=edit&uselang=qqx címen látszik, hogy milyen MediaWiki-üzenetek jelennek meg a szerkesztőablak fölött, ez esetben a releváns a MediaWiki:editnotice-10. Miután ez megvolt, onnantól már egyszerű: csak megnéztem, hogy az milyen sablonokat használ közvetetten (különös tekintettel a nem vagy nem nagyon védettekre), és ezek közül mi változott mostanában. – Tacsipacsi (talk) 19:54, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Marking POTY template for translation

Hello! Apologies for my screwup with the POTY template - would you be able to mark it (Template:POTY2020/header) for translation? I should then be able to transfer last year's translations over. Thanks! firefly ( t · c ) 11:30, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

@Firefly: I would, but I don’t like the idea of copying translations over. Rather, I think {{POTY2019/header}} should be converted to year-unspecific (e.g. move to {{POTY/header}} and pass the year as a parameter), so that the translation should be done only once. It’s less work, keeps the translation history (it’s needed e.g. for attribution, but also to discuss translations with the translator), and generally DRYer. Its only downside is that it constrains per-year customization, but I’m not sure if any customization is needed (apart from dates and links, which should be handled through with the parameter). —Tacsipacsi (talk) 19:43, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

Template:UL2.0 spelling/style in the various languages

Hi! You wrote "{{lcfirst:}} should not be used for texts that may not be in English—for example, “rechte-Logbuch” is totally incorrect in German, it should be “Rechte-Logbuch”, even in the middle of a sentence".

All is OK, but, for example, Russian is not English, and in Russian a mixture of words starting with lowercase and uppercase letters does not look like good style. As I understand, more many other languages this is also.

We is gathering internationalized applicable messages from many various source. And we can't control the form of messages in these sources. But it would be foolish to refuse auto-translation on this basis.

May be We will be checking {{int:Lang}} for (un)using {{lcfirst:}}? --Kaganer (talk) 12:25, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

@Kaganer: Applying {{lcfirst:}} if the user language is on a whitelist of languages is acceptable—however, if you list certain languages one by one, you could also translate the text into them (using {{LangSwitch}}) instead of using MediaWiki messages… (Also, a whitelist is OK, but a blacklist—collecting languages for which not to lowercase the text—isn’t, as you probably don’t know all languages and dialects that should not have {{lcfirst:}}. You should also use plain {{#switch:}}, not {{LangSwitch}}, as the latter applies the language fallback chain, which again could result in inappropriate lowercasings.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 23:43, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Really, I don't want using nor {{#switch:}}, nor {{LangSwitch}} for these purposes. These is very obsolete ways, and will be (should be) excluded soon.
As your example showed, using int-substitution of roughly applicable messages also doesn't work perfectly. --Kaganer (talk) 00:05, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Kaganer: Then what do you want to use? I don’t know of any way to make the output depend on the user interface language other than {{#switch:{{int:lang}}}} and {{LangSwitch}} (at least not one that would work on Commons). They’re not obsolete as this feature is vital and there’s no more modern way to achieve it. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 23:19, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Userlinks template Zoo

By way, I seen, that UL2.0 template is not described in their own documentation - does not contain describing use cases and not included in the table Commons:Link templates/User and user talk links.
Also, such a lot of similar templates for similar targets looks strange:

• Some is based currently on the {{UL2.0}} ({{User2}}, {{User3}}, {{User6}}, {{User7}})
• some is still based on the {{User-multi}} and Module:UserLinks ({{User21}})
• some is still based on the {{U/main}} ({{Ut}}, {{Uw}}, {{Uwt}}, {{Un}})
• {{Userlist}} is based on Module:Iteration
• all others is realized separately ({{U}}, {{Ud}}, {{Uc}}, {{User8}}, {{User13}}, {{User14}}, {{Userlinks}}, {{Admin}}, {{UserSUL}}, {{BotUser}}, {{Newbot}}, {{Checkuser}})

I don't really understand the current state of this "template zoo". If You understand, please describe for me shortly. {{User-multi}} as based on LUA module is look more progressively... --Kaganer (talk) 12:25, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

@RZuo: You have repeatedly separated the topic by adding a nonsense blank headline [3] [4] (without any explanation ever, so why do you stress now that you won’t explain it in the future?). And the comment you so much want to put in a separate section was a reply to your comment (see also the edit summary), so your claim about being non-related is simply wrong. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 01:21, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: I probably would’ve reverted it in December if you didn’t reply to it. However, if it remains, it should remain as one section. Either we regard the comment as serious and keep it, but then respect it by not arbitrarily separating it from the comment it’s a reply to, or we handle it as off-topic and don’t keep it at all. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 13:06, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Localized logo

Hello, @Tacsipacsi. Do you have an example of what you are saying in this edit? What I desire is to have a localized logo for the Brazilian users, as the original creates a false cognate in Portuguese. Cheers, EPorto (WMB) (talk) 22:30, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

@EPorto (WMB): Yes, and I linked in my other edit. It’s as simple as uploading the logo with the file name File:Wiki Loves Folklore Logo pt-br.svg (or creating a redirect there if you have already uploaded the logo somewhere). Please note that the template code I wrote doesn’t handle the fallback from Brazilian Portuguese to general/European Portuguese, so should a second Portuguese translation be created, either File:Wiki Loves Folklore Logo pt-br.svg or File:Wiki Loves Folklore Logo pt.svg will need to be a redirect (unless the two logos actually differ). —Tacsipacsi (talk) 23:09, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Deletion of Translations:Template:Cdw/1/kn done

Hi Tacsipacsi, sorry for the mess of yesterday, you're right, I shouldn't have emptied the template translating item ;) I've now deleted it.

Best regards -- AlNo (discuter/talk/hablar/falar) 19:45, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

About two other items you have tagged for speedy deletion (Translations:Template:Cdw/1/he and Translations:Template:Cdw/4/he), I'm not able to tell if it is really a machine translation, maybe we should ask some Hebrew speaking user for help. -- AlNo (discuter/talk/hablar/falar) 19:54, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

@Alno: We could, but the likelihood of machine translation is quite high. If you take a look at User:Leonel Sohns’ template-namespace edits on 22–23 October 2022, they added translations in a number of languages. While I don’t speak Hebrew and thus can’t say with 100% certainty that they’re machine translations, I can tell that the Hungarian ones were indeed machine translations (and low-quality ones even in machine translation terms). —Tacsipacsi (talk) 21:56, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

Zoomviewer still appears broken?

While the service is now live, it appears to be malfunctioning. For example, see: Zoomviewer. Shall we comment out {{Zoom}} until it is fixed? — hike395 (talk) 13:10, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

@Hike395: No, I don’t think commenting out is a solution (neither now nor three weeks ago). It should rather be discussed e.g. at phab:T343796. I tried to debug it, but failed. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 14:56, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

I don't know what to discuss at that bug -- it's clearly broken, and I have no idea how to fix it (myself). I'm concerned that we're making a poor user experience by providing links to a broken tool. We can wait a few days to see if y'all can fix it, and then revisit. — hike395 (talk) 16:26, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

@Hike395: I think simply hiding the link is even poorer user experience – what would you say if the content was commented out and your above sentence would say For example, see: .? —Tacsipacsi (talk) 00:09, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Redo

Tacsipacsi,

Here is my second submission. I hope that is ok.
