Getting back to User_talk:Jarekt/2024#QuickStatements in Template:Information
[edit]Sorry, it took me so long to get back to this topic. I've read your response, and from it, I determine that this is fully scoped to template processing, with no external dependencies by other tools that interact with this generated HTML ? In that case, can we please at least mark it with a class, so that this information can be filtered out by Wikimedia when needed ? Example:
<div class="TagQS" style="display: none;">artist QS:P170,Q3155497</div>
Preferably, the information should be in a data attribute, so that the HTML evaluates to not having any textual contents at all:
<span data-TagQS="artist QS:P170,Q3155497"></span>
Using display:none
to hide content is an anti-pattern, because it is only visually hiding it and the information still ends up in search engine descriptions, Wikimedia search and sometimes the Wikimedia Mediaviewer as something like: "1887date QS:P571,+1887-00-00T00:00:00Z/9" which is an issue i'd really like to get rid of. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 20:58, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- @TheDJ: Thanks for replying, and some good timing as I was just thinking about changing the the format of those tags per request from User:Verdy p at Module talk:TagQS. You are correct that those tags do not interact with other tools (that I know of). They are created by lua modules using Module:TagQS and possibly some templates and are read by other lua modules. I like your suggestion of
<span data-TagQS="artist QS:P170,Q3155497"></span>
or maybe<span data-TagQS="artist QS:P170,Q3155497"/>
. Verdy_p suggestion was almost the same. I will start working on this. --Jarekt (talk) 22:27, 4 July 2024 (UTC)- I suggested using "bdi" instead of "span" to avoid any inclusion problems (with a demo). verdy_p (talk) 04:42, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- OK, I will use "bdi". --Jarekt (talk) 13:00, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Template:Own or another
[edit]Hi Jarekt,
Some template related to {{Own}} have been modified, the result is now that the label Own work appears in the {{COAInformation}} and in the {{Information}}, at least, after the {{Attribs}} and on the same line, whereas it was on the line above without the need for a <br>,
In both examples, in the code the {{Own}} precedes the {{Attribs}}, and should be on the line above (as it was this morning CET):
Example 1
Example 2
Do you think you could help in solving this ?
I did not find which module has been altered…
--Kontributor 2K (talk) 13:53, 06 July 2024 (UTC)
- Edit : If one replaces {{Attribs with {{AttribSVG, it displays fine.
- --Kontributor 2K (talk) 14:01, 06 July 2024 (UTC)
- Kontributor 2K That is odd, Example 2 still does not look right to me. I can look into it. --Jarekt (talk) 14:29, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- Example 2 modified, displays ok with AttribSVG,
- Kontributor 2K (talk) 14:30, 06 July 2024 (UTC)
- Kontributor 2K That is odd, Example 2 still does not look right to me. I can look into it. --Jarekt (talk) 14:29, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- Jarekt, I give up, as none of the templates used by Attribs have been modified today (unless I missed one), except the TemplateBox which is unrelated here…
- Kontributor 2K (talk) 15:16, 06 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Verdy p: would your recent changes to Module:Iteration could have caused different behavior of {{Attribs}} template? --Jarekt (talk) 19:59, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- I have not changed these two templates or module today. And if it was working this CET morning, I've not been online most of the day, from about 10:00 to 20:30 CEST. verdy_p (talk) 20:02, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Verdy p: I was thinking that maybe those changes took some days to get noticed. --Jarekt (talk) 20:06, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- And anyway I still don't see any problem of rendering. The last change I made to Iterations module is completely unrelated, and was a couple of days ago with an option for generating category links in list of characters (for now only used in two "small" lists of CJK compatibility characters, which are being completed, this is purely optional, and without this option explicitly passed nothing changed), in a function not used by the examples above and never in any file description page or information box. verdy_p (talk) 20:08, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
Hi,
I went to see again the file Example 2, it happens that actually the problem also appears with the {{AttribSVG}}.
As the template text is longer, one has to enlarge the browser's window to see the issue, which I hadn't noticed earlier

Voting: Photo challenge/2024 - June - Mushrooms/Voting
[edit]Hello there Jarekt,
In previous editions of the Photo challenge, it has happened that entries have inexplicably disappeared from the competition before the voting. Now it has happened again! I'm not so much interested in knowing the reason why my two entries in round: Commons:Photo challenge/2024 - June - Mushrooms/Voting have disappeared, as that they will be up for voting in this edition of the contest. For example. File:Tropic fungus.jpg has been excluded for some reason? I photographed the mushroom on 27 April 2015 while visiting Taman Negara National Park on my trip to Malaysia that year.
Sincerely

- Björn Söderlund I definitely did something wrong while creating the voting page. I apologize for it. I rerun the codes generating those pages and merged the results, and it seems quite a few entries were affected. Sorry about it. I will check the other voting page. --Jarekt (talk) 19:08, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oh there they are, thanks!
- I discovered the error quite early, no harm done.
- Have a good day,

Unverständlicher Hinweis zur Lizensierung mit Verwendung eines Freigabe Tickets...
[edit]Hallo, warum ist das nur so umständlich????
Ich habe die Aufgabe übernommen, Bilder aus dem Stadtarchiv in Wikipedia Commons hochzuladen. Dazu ist ein Ticket erforderlich. Das Team vom Stadtarchiv hat heute endlich die Entscheidung getroffen, das man die Bilder unter cc by sa 4 freigibt. Ich habe das an Herrn Neumann vom Support-Team geschickt und erhielt diese Antwort: '''Guten Tag Manfred Beck, die geben Sie den Link auf das Bild an, für das diese Freigabe gilt. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Alfred Neumann Wikimedia-Support-Team''' - ich verstehe nur Bahnhof.
Ich habe die Dateien vorliegen - es sind nicht "meine Dateien" ich würde an statt meines Nutzernamens (Stadtarchiv ...) eintragen. Alle Metadaten hinzu ... und wie funktioniert es mit der Angabe der Ticket-Nummer. Es gibt ein Template (Vorlage:PermissionTicket/de) ich habe gleich zum Beginn des Schriftwechsels eine Ticketnummer Ticket#2024............ von Hern Neumann erhalten, also kann ICH das Template selbst in die Dateibeschreibung einfügen oder bin ich dafür nicht befugt? Habe kein Beispiel oder Youtube Tutorial gefunden ... Bevor es schief geht und man meinen Account sperrt frage ich lieber. Viele Grüße EACC80 (talk) 18:56, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- EACC80, It is great that Stadtarchiv released the images under cc by sa 4, but how do you know about it? If they posted it on their website than you probably do not need VRTS ticket (although it still might be better), but if it was not published then they should send the permission to VRTS. How many files are covered by the permission? If only some than you can upload them and send the list to Herrn Neumann, but if couple thousand than it might be easier to create a license template, like for example Template:Walters Art Museum license. Sorry for not being able to reply in German. --Jarekt (talk) 02:32, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
Support needed?
[edit]Hello Jarekt, I was wondering if you might need some help with the monthly photo challenge. I am not a programmer but able to check things by hand. Is there anything I can do for you? August Geyler (talk) 16:11, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- August Geyler Thanks for the offer. There is not much of check things by hand, but there are bunch of steps which can be split among multiple users. Most of them are outlined in Commons:Photo challenge/Maintainers Manual. Many tasks require running a precompiled code on your machine and fixing submitting or voting pages, another task is creating new challenge pages. --Jarekt (talk) 02:50, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Recent changes
- Wikimedia developers can now officially continue to use both Gerrit and GitLab, due to a June 24 decision by the Wikimedia Foundation to support software development on both platforms. Gerrit and GitLab are both code repositories used by developers to write, review, and deploy the software code that supports the MediaWiki software that the wiki projects are built on, as well as the tools used by editors to create and improve content. This decision will safeguard the productivity of our developers and prevent problems in code review from affecting our users. More details are available in the Migration status page.
- The Wikimedia Foundation seeks applicants for the Product and Technology Advisory Council (PTAC). This group will bring technical contributors and Wikimedia Foundation together to co-define a more resilient, future-proof technological platform. Council members will evaluate and consult on the movement's product and technical activities, so that we develop multi-generational projects. We are looking for a range of technical contributors across the globe, from a variety of Wikimedia projects. Please apply here by August 10.
- Editors with rollback user-rights who use the Wikipedia App for Android can use the new Edit Patrol features. These features include a new feed of Recent Changes, related links such as Undo and Rollback, and the ability to create and save a personal library of user talk messages to use while patrolling. If your wiki wants to make these features available to users who do not have rollback rights but have reached a certain edit threshold, you can contact the team. You can read more about this project on Diff blog.
- Editors who have access to The Wikipedia Library can once again use non-open access content in SpringerLinks, after the Foundation contacted them to restore access. You can read more about this and 21 other community-submitted tasks that were completed last week.
Changes later this week
- This week, dark mode will be available on a number of Wikipedias, both desktop and mobile, for logged-in and logged-out users. Interface admins and user script maintainers are encouraged to check gadgets and user scripts in the dark mode, to find any hard-coded colors and fix them. There are some recommendations for dark mode compatibility to help.
Future changes
- Next week, functionaries, volunteers maintaining tools, and software development teams are invited to test the temporary accounts feature on testwiki. Temporary accounts is a feature that will help improve privacy on the wikis. No further temporary account deployments are scheduled yet. Please share your opinions and questions on the project talk page. [1]
- Editors who upload files cross-wiki, or teach other people how to do so, may wish to join a Wikimedia Commons discussion. The Commons community is discussing limiting who can upload files through the cross-wiki upload/Upload dialog feature to users auto-confirmed on Wikimedia Commons. This is due to the large amount of copyright violations uploaded this way. There is a short summary at Commons:Cross-wiki upload and discussion at Commons:Village Pump.

A way to find redirects?
[edit]Hi Jarekt, File:15th-century unknown painters - St Ursula Announces to her Father her Departure on a Pilgrimage to Rome - WGA23745.jpg contains some statements that are redirects. Do you have an idea how to flag these with a tracker category? I could set up a bot to fix redirects every once in a while. Multichill (talk) 19:31, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Multichill, Module:Artwork tests for redirects and adds Category:Artworks with structured data with redirected digital representation of property and Category:Artworks with redirected Wikidata link category. Those categories take a lot of work to clear, as I did not come up with a fast way to do it. If you have some ideas, on fixing them by the bot it would be very helpful. However those categories do not apply to files like File:15th-century unknown painters - St Ursula Announces to her Father her Departure on a Pilgrimage to Rome - WGA23745.jpg where I already fixed "wikidata" field and digital representation of (P6243) but missed other fields in the SDC. The issue of redirects should be handled in some automatic way by the database, an issue I raised at phabricator:T237899. At some point I was also toying with extending this sdc query to include other properties or more files, but the sparql query times out easily. One could probably write some Lua code to test all SDC links in a given file and than sneakily add it to some often used template, but that would be putting a lot of strain on the servers (I would imagine). So I have a lot of ideas but none are easy-solutions. --Jarekt (talk) 02:22, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, so for finding them I can use some of the tracker categories.
- On Toolforge I also have access to the Wikidata redirects dump and the entities dump. I wrote a bot to remove duplicate claims and that works on the full dump. I could probably do something similar for the redirects.
- So one way or another, we find redirects. The bot should probably check if the redirect is older than say 30 days before performing the replacement. I'll see if I can write something. Multichill (talk) 10:01, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Multichill, Tracker categories are only for digital representation of (P6243) / main subject (P921) and "wikidata" of Artwork templates, but redirects are probably more common in depicts (P180) and other SDC properties, and there is no tracking categories for those. Wikidata has a bot fixing redirects, I wonder if its code is published. --Jarekt (talk) 12:54, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- AFAIK that's a closed source bot running on some private server. Extremely unsustainable, but nobody cares too much about it. I'll see if I can write something. Multichill (talk) 15:38, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Wikimania?
[edit]Hi Jarek, coming to Wikimania this year? Multichill (talk) 11:33, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Multichill, I was planning to come, but I got invited to present on another conference devoted to Witkacy (Polish painter and playwright) about my pl:Lista dzieł malarskich Stanisława Ignacego Witkiewicza article and decided to fly to Poland for that one instead of Wikimania. I am planning to attend virtually, but that is not the same. --Jarekt (talk) 12:44, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- That's a shame, but flying twice seems a bit too much. The whole virtual/hybrid conference thing doesn't really work for me. Multichill (talk) 15:42, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Tech News: 2024-30
[edit]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Feature News
- Stewards can now globally block accounts. Before the change only IP addresses and IP ranges could be blocked globally. Global account blocks are useful when the blocked user should not be logged out. Global locks (a similar tool logging the user out of their account) are unaffected by this change. The new global account block feature is related to the Temporary Accounts project, which is a new type of user account that replaces IP addresses of unregistered editors that are no longer made public.
- Later this week, Wikimedia site users will notice that the Interface of FlaggedRevs (also known as "Pending Changes") is improved and consistent with the rest of the MediaWiki interface and Wikimedia's design system. The FlaggedRevs interface experience on mobile and Minerva skin was inconsistent before it was fixed and ported to Codex by the WMF Growth team and some volunteers. [2]
- Wikimedia site users can now submit account vanishing requests via GlobalVanishRequest. This feature is used when a contributor wishes to stop editing forever. It helps you hide your past association and edit to protect your privacy. Once processed, the account will be locked and renamed. [3]
- Have you tried monitoring and addressing vandalism in Wikipedia using your phone? A Diff blog post on Patrolling features in the Mobile App highlights some of the new capabilities of the feature, including swiping through a feed of recent changes and a personal library of user talk messages for use when patrolling from your phone.
- Wikimedia contributors and GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) organisations can now learn and measure the impact Wikimedia Commons is having towards creating quality encyclopedic content using the Commons Impact Metrics analytics dashboard. The dashboard offers organizations analytics on things like monthly edits in a category, the most viewed files, and which Wikimedia articles are using Commons images. As a result of these new data dumps, GLAM organisation can more reliably measure their return on investment for programs bringing content into the digital Commons. [4]
Project Updates
- Come share your ideas for improving the wikis on the newly reopened Community Wishlist. The Community Wishlist is Wikimedia’s forum for volunteers to share ideas (called wishes) to improve how the wikis work. The new version of the wishlist is always open, works with both wikitext and Visual Editor, and allows wishes in any language.

- Have you ever wondered how Wikimedia software works across over 300 languages? This is 253 languages more than the Google Chrome interface, and it's no accident. The Language and Product Localization Team at the Wikimedia Foundation supports your work by adapting all the tools and interfaces in the MediaWiki software so that contributors in our movement who translate pages and strings can translate them and have the sites in all languages. Read more about the team and their upcoming work on Diff.
- How can Wikimedia build innovative and experimental products while maintaining such heavily used websites? A recent blog post by WMF staff Johan Jönsson highlights the work of the WMF Future Audience initiative, where the goal is not to build polished products but test out new ideas, such as a ChatGPT plugin and Add a Fact, to help take Wikimedia into the future.
