Photo Challenge Results

[edit]

Hello!

I noticed that you are in charge of (or at least you are used to) publishing the monthly photo challenge results. For the April one, I tried to count myself the votes to publish them myself, as they were not available yet (that's not a reproach). But, because I wasn't sure how to do it, I didn't publish them : I don't want to do any mistakes. Now that they are published (thank you!), I have some questions, because I don't get the same results as you.

  • I get 218 images, what is your 219th? I noticed that a file was deleted, is that it?

Thank you, Wikisquack (talk) 14:20, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Moreover, I get only 95 contributers, not 96. Wikisquack (talk) 20:14, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wikisquack Sorry I was not around last few days. Please see Commons:Photo_challenge/Maintainers_Manual#Convert_Submitting_page_to_Voting_page to read how the results are tabulated. Basically there is a C# code you run on your computer and it does all the tabulating for you, which is very consistent from challenge to challenge. However if you are getting different results than there might be bugs in the code. --Jarekt (talk) 14:15, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thanks. I was using my own python code, so maybe there are some differences. I will take a look! Wikisquack (talk) 19:58, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wikisquack I think it would be great if we had a python code which could run on https://hub-paws.wmcloud.org/ and could either create voting pages or count voting results the way current C# code does. That would allow much wider group of users to help with administration of Photo challenge. --Jarekt (talk) 21:41, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Herne Bay railway station with KCF 31461 May 1953.jpg

[edit]

Hi Jarekt. I hope this finds you well. Please could you help me find the original largest upload picture for this file? Until yesterday it was on en.WP under the same name. Being dated 1953, it had lost its UK copyright, and I tried to transfer it to Commons, but the transfer-to-Commons system refused on the grounds of a hidden something-or-other. So I manually transferred the file to Commons. That manual transfer caused the loss of the file history, the original upload being 2010. Since that 2010 upload to en.WP, bots had reduced the size of the uploaded image. Now that the image is out of copyright, I would like to reinstate the original image size, but I cannot find the original scanned file on my PC. Is there any way for you to find and reinstate that first-uploaded larger version of the file? Apologies for the long explanation. Storye book (talk) 09:15, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Storye book, I found and uploaded larger version at https://i.pinimg.com/originals/3a/5e/48/3a5e480912874cbc8314426caa092021.jpg. An admin on En.wiki should be able to see the original upload on Wikipedia. --Jarekt (talk) 12:02, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wow! thank you so much. I think its always worthwhile doing stuff for our railway buffs on WP. They are always appreciative of new additions in that subject, and they contribute so much for us, also. So thank you again. Storye book (talk) 16:03, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2024-27

[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.

Recent changes

  • Over the next three weeks, dark mode will become available for all users, both logged-in and logged-out, starting with the mobile web version. This fulfils one of the top-requested community wishes, and improves low-contrast reading and usage in low-light settings. As part of these changes, dark mode will also work on User-pages and Portals. There is more information in the latest Web team update. [1]
  • Logged-in users can now set global preferences for the text-size and dark-mode, thanks to a combined effort across Foundation teams. This allows Wikimedians using multiple wikis to set up a consistent reading experience easily, for example by switching between light and dark mode only once for all wikis. [2]
  • If you use a very old web browser some features might not work on the Wikimedia wikis. This affects Internet Explorer 11 and versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari older than 2016. This change makes it possible to use new CSS features and to send less code to all readers. [3][4]
  • Wikipedia Admins can customize local wiki configuration options easily using Community Configuration. Community Configuration was created to allow communities to customize how some features work, because each language wiki has unique needs. At the moment, admins can configure Growth features on their home wikis, in order to better recruit and retain new editors. More options will be provided in the coming months. [5]
  • Editors interested in language issues that are related to Unicode standards, can now discuss those topics at a new conversation space in MediaWiki.org. The Wikimedia Foundation is now a member of the Unicode Consortium, and the coordination group can collaboratively review the issues discussed and, where appropriate, bring them to the attention of the Unicode Consortium.
  • One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in Mandailing (w:btm:) [6]

Problems

  • Editors can once again click on links within the visual editor's citation-preview, thanks to a bug fix by the Editing Team. [7]

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)[reply]

@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)[reply]
I suggested using "bdi" instead of "span" to avoid any inclusion problems (with a demo). verdy_p (talk) 04:42, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I will use "bdi". --Jarekt (talk) 13:00, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

Edit : If one replaces {{Attribs with {{AttribSVG, it displays fine.
--Kontributor 2K (talk) 14:01, 06 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
Example 2 modified, displays ok with AttribSVG,
Kontributor 2K (talk) 14:30, 06 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
@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)[reply]
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)[reply]
@Verdy p: I was thinking that maybe those changes took some days to get noticed. --Jarekt (talk) 20:06, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]

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 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Björn Söderlund, Sw3dPix (talk • contribs) 08:27, 7 July 2024 (UTC) Björn Söderlund, Sw3dPix[reply]


Tropic fungus Björn Söderlund (talk) 08:21, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]
Oh there they are, thanks!
I discovered the error quite early, no harm done.
Have a good day,
Björn Söderlund Björn Söderlund (talk) 23:15, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
