Image keeps being auto-categorized as migration candidate and asking for review unless we duplicate an argument in a template?

Hello, I am trying keep tidy the Category:Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls and I see an image in it, File:TadJonesFuneralSchenckBaby.jpg, what @Infrogmation: said in his edit summary, that it keeps being auto-categorized as migration candidate unless we duplicate an argument in a template. It is difficult to me to understand, how it works, because this is the only image in the category like this. I can see the reason to have some pages in the category, like Commons:Discussion index/VP, which handled by some bot and bots are working with different logic than the wiki software. Could someone help me and double check please? Thank you. -- ato (talk) 08:58, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Page in wrong namespace (link cache problem?)

As spotted by User:Enhancing999, User talk:Test919,733,084 shows up in Special:PrefixIndex/User_talk. Somehow the page has a wrong page_namespace field in the link cache. Page information reports the correct namespace and for example Special:WhatLinksHere doesn’t list the page as a gallery. --Geohakkeri (talk) 09:39, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

I tried unredirecting/editing/moving/deleting it: still the same.
Quarry:query/85434 reports it as being in namespace 0. Enhancing999 (talk) 09:46, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
Kind of weird, but this is from 2019, so its probably way to late to figure out what happened. It is very unlikely this has anything to do with linkcache. If you want to delete it, be sure to refer to it by id number, not its name e.g. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/?curid=84066057 . Usually deleting these sorts of things are easier via the API. Bawolff (talk) 21:20, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
Ah, that explains it (sort of) – there is another page with the same name. That’s why I couldn’t find anything weird with the page I linked – the real culprit is that duplicate, only accessible through the id number. Thanks! --Geohakkeri (talk) 21:51, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

Incoherent TOC at Commons:Batch uploading

Could someone with the understanding how the TOC works shed some light into it and if possible fix it so that the TOC actually is a TOC. I'm using the new Vector theme FWIW -- DaxServer (talk) 12:59, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

@DaxServer: The problem is that there are a couple of level-2 headings in the "USACE to commons/examples" expand on Commons:Batch uploading/U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Digital Visual Library, and those confuse the TOC generator. I don't know if there's a way to have those headings be ignored by the TOC generator. --bjh21 (talk) 13:15, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
Is it really necessary to have those headings? I already removed them: Special:diff/914551625. --Geohakkeri (talk) 13:19, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

Layout Template:cat see also

At Category:Piazza, the box now stretches across and pushes the Wikidata infobox downwards.

It seems to be me this was changed recently, but I can't even figure out where. I checked Module:Cat see also. Enhancing999 (talk) 07:03, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

This template is used in a very large number of categories. This really needs quick fixing as it pushes the files and subcategories far down depending on how large the infobox is (example). Prototyperspective (talk) 22:37, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
A solution is to put {{Wikidata Infobox}} below {{See also cat|xxxx‎}} Wouter (talk) 13:55, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
This is not a solution as it concerns a large number of categories and some other templates seem to be affected. Enhancing999 (talk) 07:38, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
See also Template_talk:Wikidata_Infobox#Alignment_next_to_Template:Cat_see_also. Enhancing999 (talk) 07:40, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
This template piggy backs on the catlinks class (used for the categories at the bottom). There's no need for that, so I'll remove it. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 08:30, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
Thanks. I guess it was broken at Special:Diff/911758887 [1]. Should have investigated further.

Seems like this gallery uses some way of showing translated versions of the headers depending on which ?uselang= is set: Deutschland

The headers display fine in the gallery itself but are bugged in the TOC. Why is that / how can this be fixed – is there some issue about this? (I don't think galleries are very useful, e.g. even large ones are barely viewed or well-populated, but as long as they are used and displayed in search results, they should work properly.)

Updating an icon image in a translated template

I changed Template:Bad AI/i18n to use an .svg icon instead of a .png one yesterday, but the edit hasn't propagated to Template:Bad AI (where it's embedded), nor to any of the localised versions such as Template:Bad AI/i18n/en (which I cannot edit directly). What have I done wrong here? Belbury (talk) 12:19, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

No, you did nothing wrong. The edit has to be now accepted by COM:translation administrators before it gets propagated. --Geohakkeri (talk) 12:32, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Number of edits on file description pages (3 categories)

Is there way to determine how many edits had been done on file description pages in Category:TIFF images with categorized JPGs and its two subcategories? Ideally

  • how many edits were not done by the uploader
  • and how many different users were involved?
  • how this spreads of years, possibly 3-month-periods

Ideally curation on this duplicates wouldn't be needed, but I don't think this is what happened. Enhancing999 (talk) 06:19, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

List view of category

is it possible to have a list view of categories? without thumbnails, filenames arranged in a compact list.

i know one way to do it is by adding NOGALLERY, but let's say i want to view Category:All media needing categories as of 2024, so i dont want to edit the page which will change the view for all users. RZuo (talk) 15:59, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Feature news

  • Advanced item Two new parser functions will be available this week: {{#dir}} and {{#bcp47}}. These will reduce the need for Template:Dir and Template:BCP47 on Commons and allow us to drop 100 million rows from the "what links here" database. Editors at any wiki that use these templates, can help by replacing the templates with these new functions. The templates at Commons will be updated during the Hackathon at Wikimania. [2][3]
  • Communities can request the activation of the visual editor on entire namespaces where discussions sometimes happen (for instance Wikipedia: or Wikisource: namespaces) if they understand the known limitations. For discussions, users can already use DiscussionTools in these namespaces.
  • The tracking category "Pages using Timeline" has been renamed to "Pages using the EasyTimeline extension" in TranslateWiki. Wikis that have created the category locally should rename their local creation to match.

Project updates

  • Editors who help to organize WikiProjects and similar on-wiki collaborations, are invited to share ideas and examples of successful collaborations with the Campaigns and Programs teams. You can fill out a brief survey or share your thoughts on the talkpage. The teams are particularly looking for details about successful collaborations on non-English wikis.
  • Advanced item The new parser is being rolled out on Wikivoyage wikis over the next few months. The English Wikivoyage and Hebrew Wikivoyage were switched to Parsoid last week. For more information, see Parsoid/Parser Unification.

Questions about "files" in Special:UncategorizedPages

The past few days I have tried to clean up Special:UncategorizedPages. For the real gallery pages that is not a problem. But the vast majority of the pages in this list have the format "File:" (at the moment about 95%). That seems not OK to me. There are three types of files here:

  1. Embedded files (term made up by me): Files that do not contain any image or other medium, but only text, a table or a program; there is a link in another file (main file) to the embedded file. Sometimes the creator could move the text to the main file and ask for deletion of the embedded file.  Question Can this be solved, can the content of the embedded files be moved to the main files or does another solution exist? Examples:
    1. Commons:Deletion requests/Files found with File:Wikipedia on GLAM-Tour Kulturkooperationen für lokale Wikipedia-Gruppen.webm; see also: Commons:Translators'_noticeboard#A_handful_of_File:_namespace_timed_text_translations_still_exist + Commons:Village_pump/Archive/2016/09#What_are_these_files? (so this is an eight year old problem) + Meta:Community Wishlist/Wishes/A tool for auto-transcription to speed up the creation of TimedTexts subtitles for videos on Commons (which can perhaps be a solution?)
    2. File:Alignment chart.png/author + File:Alignment chart.png/source; both used in File:Alignment chart.png
    3. File:GFDL (English).ogg/Warning 1
    4. File:LGBT rights world map.svg/description; used in File:World laws pertaining to homosexual relationships and expression (duplicate).svg
  2. The vast majority of the "Files" on this list contain a request for deletion or a note that probably copyright violation is the case. They obviously do not belong here.  Question How do these files end up here? How can they be removed from this list?
  3. The rest of the files look correct: they have an image or other medium, categories and are not nominated for deletion. But I cannot find them in the categories mentioned in the files. So I think something is wrong with this files, but I do not know what.  Question Why are these files on this list? How can they be removed from it? Examples:
    1. File:"Principes_de_composition_de_Mr_Bernier,_ancien_Maitre_de_Musique_de_la_S.te_Chapelle,_à_Paris"_-_btv1b10868810x_(45_of_57).jpg
    2. File:2024-06-13_Archiv_des_Deutschen_Museums_30.jpg
    3. File:2024 Save the Core - Talco - by 2eight - 9SC1171.jpg
    4. File:Lettre_de_Jean_Baptiste_Victor_Mohr_à_Monsieur_Achille_Gouffé,_10_Février_1857_(manuscrit_autographe)_-_btv1b108806264_(3_of_3).jpg
    5. File:Parque_Estadual_da_Pedra_Branca_X_Diego_Monsores_(02).jpg
    6. File:Parque_Estadual_da_Pedra_Branca_X_Diego_Monsores_(03).jpg

JopkeB (talk) 06:33, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

In your list, #1 seem to be fake subpages. Subpages because they use the "/" format, fake because file namespace doesn't allow for subpages.
Could be that pages with #3 need a null edit for the categories to be added completely. Enhancing999 (talk) 10:28, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Thanks @Enhancing999: for your remarks.
  • @1 I understand. But they cannot be just deleted because the filenames have a wrong format. One way or another they should be replaced by something else. I hope someone has a solution.
  • @2 I hope someone else can shed some light on that.
  • @3 I carried out a null edit in some files and after that at least they were in the categories. I'll wait a few days and then will check wether these files are not in the refreshed list anymore. If that is so, I'll give the rest the same threatment. But it is strange that they need such a threatment at all; can we not just prevent it?
JopkeB (talk) 11:16, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
For #3 a bot could do that on a regular basis. Do pages appear there if they are only in hidden category? #2 may be the same. Isn't there a separate process for uncategorized images? Maybe this special page isn't needed for that.
About #1: if there is no associated file, the content should be moved to the appropriate place. This can be the actual file description page, template namespace or timedtext namespace. Once moved, this should be deleted. Enhancing999 (talk) 11:26, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Isn't there a separate process for uncategorized images? Yes, Special:UncategorizedImages exists. --Geohakkeri (talk) 11:31, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
And there are Category:Uncategorized files, Category:Files needing categories and their subcategories, files are also put there in automated processes. And what is the difference with Special:UncategorizedImages? JopkeB (talk) 15:49, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
The main difference is that the special page is populated by the wiki software itself. Or what you meant to ask? I don’t think I quite understood. --Geohakkeri (talk) 16:37, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Yes, thanks, this is the answer to my question. JopkeB (talk) 14:02, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
A bot is fine. But shouldn't it be investigated why these files appear in the list? Then it may be possible to solve the problem and then we do not need a bot. There are many, many more files with hidden categories and files that are nominated for deletion which do not appear in the list. JopkeB (talk) 15:54, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
I tried the null edit on the (non-deleted) pages. Let's see if it works. Also I fixed #1.2. above. Enhancing999 (talk) 22:06, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Also, I made a deletion request for #1.3 Enhancing999 (talk) 10:08, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
Also, a rename request for #1.4 (move to template namespace). Enhancing999 (talk) 10:17, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
@Enhancing999: I've tried to rename File:LGBT rights world map.svg/description, but I get an error: "Cannot move file to non-file namespace." I'm only a filemover, though; maybe an admin can do better. If not you may need to copy it (with proper attribution) and then get the current page deleted. --bjh21 (talk) 14:28, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
I did some testing at testwiki: it's not possible to move directly, even for admins. A workaround seems to be Special:Import. Enhancing999 (talk) 23:14, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
Didn't work, but it's moved now. Enhancing999 (talk) 23:38, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
For a better overview, I propose an update to the introductions of the special pages, see MediaWiki talk:Uncategorizedpages-summary and MediaWiki talk:Uncategorizedimages-summary. Enhancing999 (talk) 10:22, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
Until #1.1 is solved, I made Category:Timed Text in file namespace to get them categorized (someone needs to mark them for translation for the category to appear in all other subpages). Enhancing999 (talk) 10:30, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
(@2) It's a old MediaWiki file cache error/bug. It occurs sometimes when using mass deletion tools like AjaxQuickDelete, Bad Old Ones, Twinkle, etc. One or two files' deletions remain incomplete, deleting admin sees the red link, so unless they refresh the page or check the deletion log, they are unaware. The files have categories but not appear in them, and eventually show up as uncategorized, they may also end up with corrupt thumbnails. Basically it's a state of partial deletion, lol. Purging doesn't help, but the issue can be easily fixed by just manually deleting the files. One can also add the deletion template again to make them appear in the deletion category for admin attention. For the current report, I have deleted all except those I was unsure about. -- CptViraj (talk) 20:08, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Thanks @CptViraj: for the explanation and deleting many files. I have still some questions:
  • Since I have no rights to delete files manually, next time it is best that I add the deletion template again?
  • What about the files with a Template:No permission since, like File:Logo-thanh-pho-Sa-Dec.webp? Can they get off the list too? Would the solution also be adding the template again?
  • Solving the bug(s) is not an option?
JopkeB (talk) 06:06, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
No need to add a new deletion template. A null edit is enough to get the file categorized again. --Geohakkeri (talk) 08:13, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
Null edits will only be useful when the file has a speedy deletion template (SD, copyvio, G10, F10, etc.) used, so it will be categorized in a speedy deletion category. But when the file has a DR template, it doesn't help as the DR request is already closed, there is no category for them, it will still go unnoticed. Same for any F5 (no license/source/permission) file, the respective maintenance category is already deleted, so it will too go unnoticed. Therefore in these two cases, it's better to just add {{SD}} mentioning the error to have admin attention. -- CptViraj (talk) 10:55, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
Would you have a sample file? Enhancing999 (talk) 10:59, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
Just a nitpick: old {{Npd}} cases are perfectly visible as they appear directly in Category:Media missing permission. --Geohakkeri (talk) 11:02, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
@JopkeB:
  • (1) Yes, but no need to add the same deletion template, just use a simple speedy template ({{SD}}) mentioning the error and original deletion reason, also see my above message regarding null edits.
  • (2) The same applies here; just use the SD template as I said above. I think you are asking this because you noticed that all (or most) of the files left by me are these F5 ones, but it is not related, I have deleted many of these files, too.
  • (3) Solving a bug is always a option. This isn't a Commons-only issue. Devs might already be aware of the bug; maybe there is already a Phabricator task, maybe there isn't. I don't know as I never tried digging into this as there always have been some sort of cache issues with deleting in MediaWiki, maybe I'm just lazy to deal with it as this isn't a major issue and is easily workable 😅, and these files are deleted most of the time on every maintenance report by some admin, this time it just got pilled up for a month or two. -- CptViraj (talk) 10:55, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
Thanks, all of you, for the help. The list has been refreshed and there are now only 16 pages left. For the files about Wikipedia on GLAM-Tour Kulturkooperationen is a process going on to delete them (see Commons:Deletion requests/Files found with File:Wikipedia on GLAM-Tour Kulturkooperationen für lokale Wikipedia-Gruppen.webm). The rest looks business as usual. JopkeB (talk) 13:35, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
Impressive from 181 to 16! The translation subpages would also disappear if someone marked the main one for translation (I made request at Commons:Translators'_noticeboard#A_handful_of_File:_namespace_timed_text_translations_still_exist).
User talk:Test919,733,084 leaves me puzzled. Enhancing999 (talk) 13:40, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
Did an edit on that .. maybe it works. Also an edit request for Motd. Enhancing999 (talk) 14:43, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
It got updated, but there are still 12. "User_talk:Test919,733,084" is still there. I tried moving it around: [6]. Enhancing999 (talk) 10:16, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

File missing

Hey there! I uploaded files recently, and had an occasion twice. In rare cases, a page for a file is created, but the file itself is missing (e.g. File:POV – una Dottoressa dolcissima ti visita in ASMR.webm). How to handle this issue? Thank you very much!

--PantheraLeo1359531 😺 (talk) 11:26, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

This happens occasionally, the easiest is to upload the file again and then delete the page. Ymblanter (talk) 15:34, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
Thanks. Yes, the file does exist, but I uploaded a new snippet and then reset to the complete file. --PantheraLeo1359531 😺 (talk) 06:38, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

File not showing up in Category:Other speedy deletions

I tagged File:His Girl Friday (1940, SDR).webm for speedy deletion and the page shows it as being in Category:Other speedy deletions, but a day later it still doesn't show up in the category. Is there a known reason that would happen? hinnk (talk) 23:16, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

I can see the file in the respective cat --PantheraLeo1359531 😺 (talk) 06:44, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
It wasn't showing up after ~24 hours. After a little longer it did appear for me in the category so I figured it was just a caching issue, but now it's gone again. hinnk (talk) 18:12, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
And now it's back. This is super weird, I don't understand why it would repeatedly disappear and reappear like this. No changes have been made to the file or category pages, the only thing that's changed is other pages being added to or removed from the category. hinnk (talk) 19:01, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

I'm wondering if it might be related to phab:T129621/phab:T132921. The whole reason for opening the speedy deletion request was that reupload was giving an error because it couldn't acquire the lock. If any admins come across this, it'd be helpful to know what happens when you try and perform the deletion. hinnk (talk) 22:12, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

It's known to happen for template based categories. Category:Non-empty_category_redirects had plenty. Enhancing999 (talk) 13:01, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Help with adding parameter to template

Would someone be so kind as to help me add a parameter to Template:PD-Sjöfartsverket? The parameter would function in the same way as the “cat” parameter from Template:Taken in, such that the code {{PD-Sjöfartsverket|cat=no}} would disable automatic categorization of transcluding pages. I can take care of updating the documentation afterwards. —VulpesVulpes42 (talk) 18:39, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Why would it have that? Template:PD-US doesn't have it. Enhancing999 (talk) 19:12, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
@Enhancing999: This template has a much, much more limited use case. It automatically adds files to Category:Diagrams of water transport signs in Sweden. However there is also Category:Diagrams of water transport signs in Sweden obsoleted by SVG replacement, and files there should of course not be in the parent category as well. But due to the automatic categorization currently being undisableable, there is no way of removing files from the redundant parent category without also removing the template. —VulpesVulpes42 (talk) 19:21, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

There is the same problem with the other file File:Herrieu - Chansons populaires du pays de Vannes, 1re série, 1911.pdf : see s:br:Restr:Herrieu - Chansons populaires du pays de Vannes, 1re série, 1911.pdf--Gwendal (talk) 05:36, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

No edit summary when undoing caption edits

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T372929

There is no automatic edit summary when undoing caption edits (see for example File:Dancer in Sari.jpg, why is that and can it be changed? Should it then be added as a feature request om Phabricator or how to go about it? Jonteemil (talk) 18:05, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Yes, that is an annoying problem. I also mentioned this in #Vandals often move captions to other languages – detection needed below. Please create an issue if no issue about it exists and then please link it here and mark the section as solved. Prototyperspective (talk) 09:45, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Uploadig a large svg file

I am tring to upload this svg file. and it does not working. maybe becose it is too large. are there size limitation on svg files? what are they? Can somebody help me to upload it?

Thanks a lot, Aizenr (talk) 10:05, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

my file is 38MB. this is much smaller then the Maximum file size. So this is probably not the main problem... Any other sugestions? Aizenr (talk) 17:17, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
@Aizenr: Your SVG contains a large PNG, resulting in the same issue as in #The_XML_in_the_uploaded_file_could_not_be_parsed. --Dexxor (talk) 20:52, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
thank you very much. I read now the discusion above, but I stell do not undestand what is the solution. Can I chinge something in my file that will solve the problem? If there is now other chice, I can downsize the png image.How much should I downsize it?
Thanks again, Aizenr (talk) 04:47, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
@Aizenr: I would simply convert the SVG into PNG using rsvg-convert -u or Inkscape, and then upload the PNG (it should also be much smaller, around 3MB). Dexxor (talk) 05:52, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
thank you for the sujestion. The main aim of this file was to criate an svg version of an existing png file so text in different lengwiges could be added. So I prefer to keep it as svg. If I split the png into 2 pices, do I have the same limitation for each of them or on the total? Thanks again, Rami (Aizenr, talk) 12:33, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
@Aizenr: The PNG is already split into two pieces. I think your only option is to make the PNGs smaller, like this. ---Dexxor (talk) 20:58, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
Isn't that problem not one of size, but that Category:Fake SVG are no longer accepted? Enhancing999 (talk) 21:03, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
You would probably have to split it into more than two pieces. Try and aim so that no piece is larger than 6 megabytes. Bawolff (talk) 21:41, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

Flickr2Commons tool not working for about 24 hours.

I get this message currently-

  • "Wikimedia Toolforge Error"
  • "Our servers are currently experiencing a technical problem. This is probably temporary and should be fixed soon. Please try again later."
  • "tools-proxy-8.tools.eqiad1.wikimedia.cloud"

It has been about 24 hours. Other Users are apparently using this same tool without any problems. Thanks, -- Ooligan (talk) 15:03, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Still not working. Is this permanently broken, and I should choose a different way to do these tasks, or will it be coming back? - Jmabel ! talk 19:39, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Can not find out what causes an error

I apologize, first attempt to upload three images: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UploadWizard&campaign=CHM-DE-HE&categories=Cultural+heritage+monuments+in+Erbach+%28Odenwald%29&description=Stra%C3%9Fenbr%C3%BCcke%2C+Eisenbahn+%28auf+der+Grenze+zu+Michelstadt%29&descriptionlang=de&fields%5B0%5D=952486&fields%5B1%5D=49.67158%2F8.99068 - I get "Beim Ausfüllen der Formulare sind 2 Fehler aufgetreten. Bitte die Fehler berichtigen und erneut speichern." - 2 Errors occured, please correct and save again - But I have no idea what errors. The only thing red on the page is the browser spellcheck in text fields - How can I find out? Shyof (talk) 15:14, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Maybe it's the same problem as this one?: Commons:Village pump#No error message for same file names in Upload Wizard. It should probably be reported at this page instead of here. Prototyperspective (talk) 12:02, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
Hmm, that could have been possible - uploading the files one-by-one without changing anything else worked (the names differed but had a common prefix)... Thanks for the hint! Shyof (talk) 15:54, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
