Hi Zhuyifei1999, is this tool still working ? I see new tasks are marked as pending. — Racconish^☎ 15:49, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Same for me. It probably needs a reset? --Hannolans (talk) 20:51, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

There was a labs-wide reboot on 22nd. The backend workers somehow did not restart automatically after the reboot. I restarted them manually, and the tasks should start running soon. Thanks for notifying me --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 23:03, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

It had some trouble starting up, now fixed. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 23:57, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks . — Racconish^☎ 06:49, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks

Should it be done like this? --~~Jimmy~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimmy9bond (talk • contribs) 05:55, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

No, use --~~~~, without the Jimmy in the middle. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 05:58, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

I need two more helps from you: 1) Why am I constantly getting that (almost like a spam) message for signing. 2) That pic is showing a copyright issue. Can you help me out? I can explain you the issue in case you can lend some help in resolving it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimmy9bond (talk • contribs) 06:15, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

@Jimmy9bond:

• You sill did not sign your latest few messages with ~~~~. This is required for every new message you add to a talk page, just like how you should sign a letter or email.
• If you mean the two files you uploaded, File:Modi GST Launch.jpg & File:GST Launch.jpg, please show where the author released the images into public domain, where the right to use the work for any propose, including making money with the work (a.k.a. commercial use), and creating derivative works. JuTa has already given you some links to the explanations for what we expect for files uploaded here.
• Also I must point out that you should not use ad hominem and name calling (eg. invigilators, childish powers) to attack anyone here. See w:WP:NPA

SignBot on swedish wiki?

Hey, is it possible to have SignBot run on svwp too? Skottniss (talk) 11:14, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

@Skottniss: The source code of the bot is at https://gist.github.com/zhuyifei1999/49af65a7f07fa950a381171ea037135e. It needs some site-specific customizations so I'd prefer if it's ran by an experienced bot operator in svwiki, like Nahid did with his bot. If someone is interested, feel free to contact me if they need help in running it. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 12:06, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Ah, yes of course, I'll ask around on svwp to see if anyone with "robot-knowledge" can do that. Thanks :-) Skottniss (talk) 12:26, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Tech News: 2017-27

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

• There was a problem with maps on Wikimedia wikis that used <mapframe> when you clicked on the link to another map service. Open Street Map or Google Maps are examples of other map services. If you had marked a place on the map the marker would not be in the same place on the other map service. It was in the middle of the map. This has now been fixed. [1]

Changes this week

• Very old and inactive unpublished translations in the Content Translation database will be removed. This is because of technical maintenance. If you have not worked on a translation after 1 January 2016 you will lose it after 6 July. If you want to keep the unfinished translation you need to open it before 6 July with the Content Translation tool. You can continue working on it later. Translations that were started or have been worked on after 1 January 2016 will not be affected.
• There is no new Mediawiki version this week.
• EventStreams is a new way to show activity on Wikimedia wikis. It works with the recent changes feed. It will do more things later. It will replace RCStream. Tools that use RCStream should move to EventStreams before 7 July. Tech News wrote about this in the 2017/07 issue. [2]

Structured Data on Commons Newsletter, July 19, 2017

Welcome to the newsletter for Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons! You can update your subscription to the newsletter. Do inform others who you think will want to be involved in the project!

Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons?

The millions of files on Wikimedia Commons are described with a lot of information or (meta)data. With the project Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons, this data is structured more, and is made machine-readable. This will make it easier to view, search (also multilingually), edit, organize and re-use the files on Commons.

In early 2017, the Sloan Foundation funded this project (see documentation). Development takes place in 2017–2020. It involves staff from the Wikimedia Foundation and Wikimedia Deutschland (WMDE) and many volunteers. To achieve this, Wikibase support is added to Wikimedia Commons. Wikibase is the technology that is also used for Wikidata.

Recent developments: groundwork

• A new and crucial technical step (federation) now makes it possible to reference data from one Wikibase website in another. Because of this, it will be possible to use Wikidata's items and properties to describe media files on Commons.
• Another important piece of groundwork is under development: so-called Multi-Content Revisions. This feature allows structured data to be stored alongside wiki text, so that one wiki page can contain several types of content.

Team updates

• Amanda Bittaker was hired as Program Manager for Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons. Amanda will take care of the overall management of the project.
• Sandra Fauconnier (known as Spinster in her volunteer capacity) is the new Community Liaison. She will support the collaboration between the communities (Commons, Wikidata, GLAM) and the product development teams at the Wikimedia Foundation and Wikimedia Deutschland.
• We have open positions for a UX designer and a Product Manager!

Talking with communities and allies

• Long-term feedback from GLAMs. Besides the Wikimedia community, many external cultural and knowledge institutions (GLAMs - Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) are interested in Structured Data on Commons and are willing to provide feedback on the long-term plans for the project. Alex Stinson, GLAM strategist at the Wikimedia Foundation, is currently in contact with Europeana, DPLA, the Smithsonian and the National Archives of the United States. Alex is also looking for other GLAM institutions who might be able to advise on the long term. If you know of an institution or partner that may be appropriate for consultation, do get in touch with Alex.
• Jonathan Morgan, design researcher, is starting to work on two projects:
  • Researching batch upload workflows by interviewing GLAM institutions
  • Researching the enrichment, organization and improvement tasks on already uploaded media files by engaging with active Commons contributors. This research follows up on existing research by Wikimedia Deutschland on heavy Commons users.

What comes next?

• The Structured Data on Commons team meets in the week after Wikimania to lay the groundwork for the next steps. This includes new backend development and design work, for better and more clear integration of the structured data in pages on Wikimedia Commons.
• The project's information pages on Wikimedia Commons will receive a long overdue update in the upcoming months. The team will also work on more and better communication channels. Feedback, wishes and tips are welcome at the project's general talk page.

Get involved

• Join us at Wikimania! We are present at the hackathon, and there will be a session on Saturday, August 12: Structured Commons: what changes are coming?
• Follow the Structured Data on Commons project on Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/34/
• Subscribe to this newsletter to receive it on a talk page of your own choice.
• Do you want to help out translating messages about Structured Data on Commons from English to your own language? Sign up on the translators page.
• Stay tuned for requests for input, discussion and participation as soon as the info portal is refreshed (see above). These will also be announced via this newsletter.

Many greetings from SandraF (WMF) (talk), Community Liaison for this project! 13:55, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Problems

• Some pages show the error Lua error in mw.wikibase.entity.lua at line 34: The entity data must be a table obtained via mw.wikibase.getEntityObject. This problem happens on pages with a Lua module that uses Wikidata. The developers are working on fixing the problem. You can fix a page by opening it for editing and then saving without changing anything. [14]
• Wikidata and German Wikipedia could not be edited for an hour on 28 July. You can read why and how we could avoid it in the future in the incident report.

Changes later this week

• Some wikis already have the larger and brighter OOjs UI edit page buttons. All remaining wikis except Commons will have these from 1 August. [15]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 1 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 2 August. It will be on all wikis from 3 August (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 1 August at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The default font in the edit window will soon change for some users. Instead of using the browser default it will be monospace. Users can change this in their preferences. This should only change this for some users on Macs and iOS devices. [16]

Category:Commons_labs_bots

Category:Commons_labs_bots has been listed at Commons:Categories for discussion so that the community can discuss ways in which it should be changed. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for discussion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it. If the category is up for deletion because it has been superseded, consider the notion that although the category may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new category. In all cases, please do not take the category discussion personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you!

Deletion help for Tyg728

Hi Zhuyifei1999. I hope you are well. I am trying to help Tyg728 understand the correct deletion procedures, but unfortunately very little of our policies or instructions have been translated into Chinese yet :-/ They seem to be trying in good faith to help, and I may have come down a little hard on them, but it's not really fair to them. Would you have a few minutes to help them understand the difference between {{Speedy}} and {{Delete}} and perhaps give them some pointers with Help:Nominate for deletion/AjaxQuickDelete? I apologize for requesting this out of the blue. Thanks for your time. Storkk (talk) 12:47, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Tech News: 2017-32

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

• You can now see which Wikipedia language versions are read in a specific country. This tool is called Wikipedia Views Visualized. [18]
• The Architecture Committee is now the Wikimedia Technical Committee. You can read the charter. [19]

Problems

• You can get an email when a page on your watchlist was edited. You can choose not to get emails for minor edits. There is a bug that means that you then don't get an email when someone does a normal edit after a minor edit. The developers are working on fixing this. Until it has been fixed you can activate "Email me also for minor edits of pages and files" at the bottom of "User profile" in your preferences if you want to. [20]
• The thanks button sometimes didn't work for mobile users. This was because of a new bug and has now been fixed. [21]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 August. It will be on all wikis from 10 August (calendar).

Future changes

• Editors and readers who still use Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP will not be able to use Wikipedia. Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP can't connect securely to the wikis. When we allow them to do so it means that we get less security for everyone else. If you use Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP you can install Firefox 52 ESR instead. Around 0.1% of the traffic to the Wikimedia wikis comes from Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP. [22]
• Links to sections on Wikipedia don't work well in languages that don't use the Latin script. The URL in the address bar in your browser shows Latin characters like .D0.A1.D1.81.D1.8B.D0.BB.D0.BA.D0.B8 instead of the section heading in the wiki's language. Links to sections in non-Latin scripts will be in the script of that wiki in the future. This will happen in the next few months. [23][24]
• Wiki pages printed by the web browser "Print" function will have an updated style. This new style will be similar to the when you download a page as PDF. It will be better at showing tables, infoboxes and headings. [25][26]

Main page protection

Hi, I see you added full indefinite protection to the Commons main page recently— I was viewing the main page yesterday when I saw that it had somehow been deleted (?) as promotional by an account that was quickly designated as a sockpuppet of INeverCry and blocked. Am just wondering, WTF, and how does anyone delete the Commons main page?? (not that I ever want to do it, only that I was stunned that someone was able to). Do you know what happened there? The curiosity is killing me... Thanks! KDS4444 (talk) 10:32, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

Variations on / feature requests for video2commons

Hi Zhuyifei! v2c is extremely useful; esp the automatic subtitle extraction. I'm using it to try rapid uploading of newly relicensed course videos. Two questions:

• Is there sth like this that can read from a spreadsheet w/ URLs and metadata? --SJ+ 13:47, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
• Does it make sense to include an option to try youtube-dl -f "webm" to extract the webm version directly from YT, rather than re-encoding? When it works that is rewardingly fast.

Warmly, --SJ+ 13:49, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

• Well, the v2c's API definitely support batch uploading, but so far I have not coded the interface to do so. See my reasoning at Commons_talk:Video2commons#Is_it_possible_to_give_the_tool_more_than_one_URL_to_do_batch_uploads.
• The current set format bestvideo+bestaudio, with prefer-free-formats. While it gives the best quality available, it has a few downsides, namely sometimes uploading extremely large sized videos and fail (4GiB+), and not always preferring webms when available. I'm just not smart enough to perfectly integrate with youtube-dl to find out the best option available.

If you have a solution please tell me and I'll be happy to implement if it works, or you can submit a pull request. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 22:56, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
