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!

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you use needs to be updated, then post a note at the discussion page for the gadget or the talk page of the user who originally made the script.

Hi, thanks for checking the categories of this image, but (1) it's a track, not a road, (2) it's in East Lothian, not Scottish Borders (although it's close to the border) and (3) it's on Category:Priestlaw Hill, which you could easily have created.

Refining vs. removing edit

Here and elsewhere, why are you removing year categories rather than refine them? - Jmabel ! talk 15:20, 15 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Overcat edit

Hi Gbarta ... This edit of yours is an example of over-categorization because the category you added, Category:Painters from the United States is a parent category of Category:19th-century painters from the United States. I've reverted the edit. Please be careful not to over-categorize. Regards and happy editing! --Sanfranman59 (talk) 19:41, 28 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Overcat II. edit

Hi Gbarta ... I've reverted this edit, because the category you added is already added Category:Fiendship fountain (Vác). Please be careful not to over-categorize. I'm happy to discuss this with you here if you wish. Regards and happy editing! - - Globetrotter19 (talk) 12:29, 9 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Kategória edit

Szia! Ha nincs berakva a kép valamelyik kategóriába, akkor automatikusan megjelenik egy hibaüzenet. Ezt nem kell eltávolítani, hanem betenni valamelyik kategóriába, akkor ez automatikusan eltűnik. A kategória angol vagy latin nyelvű lehet. Személy esetében célszerű a nevére kategorizálni, mert akkor közvetlenül betehető a datába. Üdv. Tambo (talk) 07:41, 1 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Overcat III... edit

Hi! Would you please stop overcategorizing. A rock guitarist is a guitarsit and a guitarist is a musician so "Rock Guitarists from somewhere" means "Guitarists from somewhere" and "Musician from somewhere". That's all. Thanks   LW² \m/ (Lie ² me...) 21:30, 11 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

I always moves the data before deleting the Wikidata. I don't want you to block me. Most of my edits are correct. I'm sorry if I do something wrong. --Gbarta (talk) 08:22, 29 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Category:Auguste Cain edit

Hi, Gbarta looking into this file description, I noticed date of birth of Cairn is indicated 1922. Any idea where this can be checked? Thank you for your time. Lotje (talk) 11:37, 14 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Lotje: Citing from AKL (subscription required unfortunately): “Cain, Auguste-Nicolas, frz. Tierbildhauer, Medailleur, *10.11.1821 (nicht 4.11.1822) Paris, †6.8.1894 ebd.” (translation of bold part: “not 4 November 1821”). BTW, Gbarta, you shouldn't remove well sourced data at Wikidata, even if it's wrong, please set the rank to “deprecated” as I've done now. :-) Happy editing you two, --Marsupium (talk) 07:00, 19 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Empty DEFAULTSORT edit

Moin Moin Gbarta, I saw you inserted empty defaultsorts. In fact it's completely unnecessary, because the Wikidata Infobox is sufficient. Regards --Crazy1880 (talk) 20:11, 16 February 2019 (UTC)Reply


Hi Gbarta, is there a reason for the empty {{DEFAULTSORT:}} in categories like Category:Atze de Vrieze? --Arnd (talk) 14:06, 4 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Changing Categories edit

Hi Gbarta, on February 5, you changed the 'birth' and 'death' date categories on 'File:JosephHilliardCain Headstone.jpg', and I have reverted them. Please note that his birth year was '1892' and death year was '1962'. You categorized the dates for his wife, Hilda Cain. Regards. Woodlot (talk) 10:45, 7 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

FYI, you sort of "buried the lede" here. I've fixed it. Turns out to be the only picture we have of Charles Odegaard, and I've now cropped that out and added it to his article. - Jmabel ! talk 15:21, 2 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Baseball images at the LOC edit

I see you categorize baseball images, you should work on the Library of Congress images. They are already loaded here at Commons, but at Flickr, they are given context and better dated by SABR. Here is the latest batch, and there are 50 added each Friday. oldest tranche and newest tranche. You can match them here by searching the name at Flickr. See: 50096825088 becomes File:Urban_Shocker,_St._Louis_AL_(baseball)_LCCN2014715001.jpg. We are currently in the year 1924. Some images in a set are dated on the negative. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 17:37, 2 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Just before you connect the Wikidata links again to the wrong category.
