Module Tincture

Hi,
I restored previous version on Module:Tincture, as there were errors displayed (instead of tinctures) on all CoA pictures using the template…
Thank you,--Kontributor 2K (talk) 11:06, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Kontributor 2K, Thank you for fixing that. I corrected my correction and redeployed. It looks like this time I got it right. --Jarekt (talk) 01:07, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for fixing this,

On the other hand, do you know if someone intends to go on working on the heraldry modules that Sarang has developped ?

--Kontributor 2K (talk) 16:01, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

Kontributor 2K, I dont know of any plans. I am quite unfamiliar with heraldry and needs of supporting software. In this case I was just chipping away at files with Lua errors on Category:Pages with script errors. If you know of anything that needs to be fixed I can look at it. --Jarekt (talk) 01:11, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

Well, everything works fine, although there would be details to fix; also, adding new users to the IgenCoa users table (table of CoA drawers) is currently not needed (new users don't come there so often).
The distab function was fixed, which is great.

Hi Jarekt,
I found an issue, for a specifc user's files… (that could occur with some other's, although I didn't notice others yet).
For an example, this file uses the template that shows SVG information with details about software and user.
If french is used, as well as a few other languagues (català, at least), it shows correct information : 'Ce blason a été créé avec Inkscape par xxx', but if english is choosen, as well as many other languages, it shows : 'This coat of arms was created with Inkscape…important by xxx' - '…important' shouldn't be there.
I couldn't find where to solve this, do you think you'd have time to check this…?

Kontributor 2K, I am so confused by {{COAInformation}} template. I finally figured out that the "image" parameter is responsible somehow for the field in question, but how does {{#invoke:IgenCoa|main|Yr}} encodes for the information in this row? It seems like "Yr" encodes info that SVG correct, that it shows COA, that it was created by user:Yricordel, that it was created in Inkscape, and that it was created as part of fr:Projet:Blasons. That is 5 separate facts encoded in 2 letters. How would the code differ if Yricordel used a different tool that day, or did this one on behalf of a different project? Or if it was User:Steifer for pl:Wikiprojekt:Herby project, as is the case for File:POL COA Awstacz.svg. I can not find in the template documentation how that is done. Also "important by Yricordel" seems like a bad translation maybe "imported by Yricordel"? As "important" is not a verb. So how would information with and without "important" be encoded? I was trying to experiment with {{#invoke:IgenCoa|main|Yr}}, but so far did not find how to display the content in a different language. Most templates on Commons use "|lang=xx" parameter, but it does not seem to work. Sorry about the avalanche of questions, but I am bouncing between documentation of several templates and not finding much. Source code is also not very readable full of 1 or 2 letter variable names that do not mean much to me. --Jarekt (talk) 01:06, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for looking,

Changing the tool for Yricordel from Inkscape to TextEditor is done by adding tool~T = | image=Yr/tool~T.

I found a possible lead in here where the first example stands for stands for : "SVG file created with Inkscape-Important"…

Actually, "Important" links to Help:Inskape#Inkscape SVG vs. Plain SVG, where this section (at Handling Inkscape SVG) gives more info…

Going further is currently beyond my knowledge, maybe i'm already far beyond

You can read more about this change on Diff or on Mediawiki.org. [1]

Hello Jarekt,

Can you help with this. Thanks in advance. -- Geagea (talk) 11:37, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Bug on Template:Self

Hi, Jarekt, the CC0 and FAL templates inside it cannot be rendered since your update. Here is an example. Can you fix this issue? Thanks. 0x0a (talk) 07:21, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Template Self

Hi Jarekt,

Hope you are doing well.

There is something bad (exemple [6]) with that template since the change you did [7]. I don't know what exactly.

Regards, --Benoît (d) 09:38, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Template:Self

Many pages needs to be fixed, such as this one. GZWDer (talk) 11:34, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

@0x0a, Benoît Prieur, and GZWDer: , Thanks for reporting this. I still have no idea what is causing this issue, but I deployed a change that seems to fix the issue. All the reported files seem to be fine after purging. --Jarekt (talk) 13:24, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Broken again in File:Cardamom buns.jpg.--GZWDer (talk) 13:07, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

@RP88: : Please check whether there are files broken here. GZWDer (talk) 13:35, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

@0x0a, Benoît Prieur, GZWDer, and RP88: , I looked at File:Cardamom buns.jpg and here, and all files seem be be fine after a purge or null edit. --Jarekt (talk) 14:45, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-06

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

• The mobile site history pages now use the same HTML as the desktop history pages. If you hear of any problems relating to mobile history usage please point them to the phabricator task.
• On most wikis, admins can now block users from making specific actions. These actions are: uploading files, creating new pages, moving (renaming) pages, and sending thanks. The goal of this feature is to allow admins to apply blocks that are adequate to the blocked users' activity. Learn more about "action blocks". [8][9]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 February. It will be on all wikis from 8 February (calendar). [10][11]
• Talk pages permalinks that included diacritics and non-Latin script were malfunctioning. This issue is fixed. [12]

Future changes

• 24 Wikipedias with Reference Tooltips as a default gadget are encouraged to remove that default flag. This would make Reference Previews the new default for reference popups, leading to a more consistent experience across wikis. For 46 Wikipedias with less than 4 interface admins, the change is already scheduled for mid-February, unless there are concerns. The older Reference Tooltips gadget will still remain usable and will override this feature, if it is available on your wiki and you have enabled it in your settings. [13][14]
