Template:Edit request/List[edit]

Hi! Recently your bot’s edits to Template:Edit request/List are marked as minor. This suppresses notification emails about the edits, which is annoying and is against the goal of making edit requests more visible. Could you please disable the minor edit flag?

Speaking of this page, Category:Commons protected edit requests has five subcategories, of which only two are listed. Could you also list Category:Commons protected edit requests (protection level)‎, Category:Commons protected edit requests (semi protected)‎ and Category:Commons protected edit requests (template protected)‎—or maybe tell the bot to list all subcategories it finds, to make it more future-proof? Thanks in advance! —Tacsipacsi (talk) 22:28, 28 November 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The edits are still minor, and still only two subcategories are listed. Nothing’s resolved here. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 16:40, 22 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
That would require a re-write, and i have currently no time for that. Sorry. But it is on my to-do list. Best --Steinsplitter (talk) 17:10, 22 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I’m sorry to see that you’ve given up on that to-do list, but it’s your decision. Is the source code available somewhere so that others can do the rewrite without doing unnecessary extra work? —Tacsipacsi (talk) 07:36, 13 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Tacsipacsi: Sorry for the late reply, https://pastebin.com/ewc9vz4v --Steinsplitter (talk) 13:59, 30 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
BTW: If you have a toolsforge account, i can give you access to the bot if necessary or you copy the code to your own bot (then i can disable the task). Best --Steinsplitter (talk) 14:01, 30 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thanks for the code! However, without an explicit free software license, I’m unfortunately legally not allowed to modify it.
I have a Toolforge account (with the same name as my wiki account), but I have no bot account, so if you would give me access to your bot, that would be perfect (but a license is still needed so that I can modify the code). —Tacsipacsi (talk) 16:27, 2 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Tacsipacsi: You have been added to https://toolsadmin.wikimedia.org/tools/id/sbot. The source code of the aforementioned file is licensed user en:WTFPL. Best --Steinsplitter (talk) 18:34, 5 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thanks! I’ve put the code on GitLab and (hope to) have fixed the minor edit issue. I’d like to add the remaining subcategories as well, but that needs a bit more work. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 21:44, 9 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
P.S. I put only that file on GitLab, but maybe you could publish other bots’ source codes there as well, to enable other people to see them. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 22:01, 9 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Look for uncategorised files in a category - once off?[edit]

Hi. Is it possible to get the bot to look for uncategorised files in a specific category? I am finding numerous files that don't have categories in Category:Photographs by Justin Higuchi - it would be useful to have the bot scan this file as a once off so i can categorise any files without cats that it finds Gbawden (talk) 10:26, 14 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

There is a strange sequence in the chrono of Template:PermissionTicket/Users/raw. Given that the table is incomplete I started investigating.

When the bot FuzzyBot moved Template:PermissionTicket/Users/raw from Template:OTRS/Users/raw on 27 May 2021 SteinsplitterBot blanked (15 December 2021) the page and then made two big changes (5 February). From that moment the table no longer contains the data in the second and third columns.

THANK YOU. You, and them people who take care of renaming files, demonstrate an amazing reactivity. I've fallen into "Category:Satellite pictures of Cuba", fascinating pics and some are ever so useful but need clearer indications and dispatching in more localized categs and it's such a huge categ I don't even dare looking at how many pages there are in there (don't tell!). Been into that for some days now, and more often than not I don't even have time to finish a series before you lot have already renamed and rotated the ones I've already done. Which 'incentives' me into (sleeping less for the sake of) doing some more (so there's some good and some bad there but the bad is mine entirely and) I'm still gobsmacked again and again at how goddamn fast you lot are.

And Commons:List of administrators by recent activity wasn't updated since 13:01, 18 December 2023‎. Thanks, Yann (talk) 15:48, 28 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Tacsipacsi and Mdaniels5757: Yes, Commons:Undeletion requests/Current requests is still not archived. This looks like a simple archiving task, so tweaking ArchiverBot should work, isn't? Yann (talk) 10:46, 30 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Yann: User:ArchiverBot wouldn’t work:
  • It archives sections that haven’t seen activity for a certain amount of time, not sections that have been resolved. There are sections on the page right now that haven’t seen any activity for weeks. These would be archived by ArchiveBot without the files being undeleted or the requests being declined (or the handled requests would remain on the page for weeks due to the high timeout).
  • It considers the text beginning with a ==-level heading and stopping before the next ==-level heading a topic. The {{Delh}} template, which is put before the heading, would therefore belong to the previous topic (request) as seen by the bot’s parser.

Stats + Declined[edit]

Hi, Steinsplitter, can you take a look at Commons:File renaming/Stats and Commons:File renaming/Recently declined rename requests? They are standing still. Thanks in advance. PS: maybe a good idea if WMF takes over the bots, or other users? (see above) - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 16:12, 20 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Richardkiwi: I don’t think WMF should take over the bots; running bots is the privilege and responsibility of the community. Now there are three maintainers of the bot in addition to Steinsplitter (including me), so hopefully things will work out. Now I migrated the bots maintaining the two pages you mentioned. The latter has already been updated, the former should be updated within 24 hours. (I changed the scheduling of the former: previously it ran at 06:40 AM each day; now it’s configured to run daily, but at no specific time, so that the server can better balance resource usage. The latter used to, and continues to, run every five minutes. Of course, only runs that actually change the page are visible in the page history.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 16:58, 23 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Tacsipacsi User:SteinsplitterBot/Rotatebot is stuck again. RZuo (talk) 20:05, 23 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I see the in the logs: 
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Mediawiki\Api\UsageException: Code: titleblacklist-forbidden-edit
Message: The title "File:IMG-20200422-WA0003.jpg" has been banned from creation. It matches the following disallowed titles list entry: " File:IMG-\d{8}-WA\d{4}.jpg # WhatsApp, e.g. [[:File:IMG-20230409-WA0001.jpg]]"
Result: {"error":{"code":"titleblacklist-forbidden-edit","info":"The title \"File:IMG-20200422-WA0003.jpg\" has been banned from creation. It matches the following disallowed titles list entry: \" File:IMG-\\d{8}-WA\\d{4}.jpg # WhatsApp, e.g. [[:File:IMG-20230409-WA0001.jpg]]\"","filekey":"1al6gvv4tz24.u35whx.3714013.jpg","sessionkey":"1al6gvv4tz24.u35whx.3714013.jpg","invalidparameter":"filename","*":"See https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/w\/api.php for API usage.

which apparently prevents the removal of the lock file, stopping all future (hourly) runs until the cleanup process (which is ran at 0:00, 7:00, 14:00 and 21:00 UTC) removes the lock files. So there are multiple problems here:
  • Why does the API reject as upload with the comment The title "File:IMG-20200422-WA0003.jpg" has been banned from creation when the title File:IMG-20200422-WA0003.jpg exists, the bot only wants to upload a new version of it? I think reuploads shouldn’t be blocked: there’s no way to upload a new version of the file IMG-20200422-WA0003.jpg other than to upload it as IMG-20200422-WA0003.jpg.
  • The bot shouldn’t crash on API errors. Just because it cannot rotate one file for whatever reason, it probably can rotate the next one, so it should go on.
  • Even if there is an unexpected exception, the bot shouldn’t leave the lock file there. PHP has destructors, so putting the lock file removal to a destructor would guarantee that it’s run.
  • Probably it shouldn’t use a lock file in the first place. The job scheduling system keeps track of whether the bot runs, so it should be (is? I don’t know) able to prevent the job from being started twice.
  • And, actually, why is this file waiting to be renamed? It has a useless name, a useless description, useless content and no usage in WMF wikis. It should be deleted, not rotated. (However, it may be worth being kept as a test case until all the above bugs have been fixed.)

I deleted all files by this user: out of scope and probable copyright violations. Yann (talk) 14:10, 24 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Many thanks for debugging and fixing. Merry Christmas! RZuo (talk) 17:19, 24 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Nothing has been fixed, only the test case was deleted. 🙁 So we’ll probably run into this again. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 09:03, 25 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I’ve done a bit of cleanup before getting hit by the lack of test case, which I’ve now submitted as a pull request: https://github.com/toollabs/Rotatebot/pull/1. Could Steinsplitter or anyone else with wright access to the repo access the pull request? (Except for the indentation cleaup, it’s basically things that have already been there on Toolforge, just missing from the repo.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 09:25, 25 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Tacsipacsi a test case is coming soon, in 6h or so. :) RZuo (talk) 18:03, 29 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Tacsipacsi: The Rotatebot function is stuck again since New Year's Eve. Anything you can do? --Rosenzweig τ 21:20, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Tacsipacsi if that pull request was meant to also fix the titleblacklist problem, then it probably didnt work, because the bot is probably stuck on File:IMG-20230506-WA0015.jpg.
i will rename the file in a few days. RZuo (talk) 12:33, 9 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@RZuo: No, that pull request wasn’t meant to fix the titlebacklist problem. I planned to finish the fix for that during the holidays, but I didn’t manage to do that, and then I got busy with work and other IRL things. I finished and deployed it yesterday. Today I removed the lock functionality as the job scheduling system indeed prevents the job from being started twice. Unfortunately I managed to deploy the new scheduling configuration while the bot was running, so the on-wiki log will miss the nine already-processed images (and working through the backlog may take an hour more). I hope this won’t cause issues; the log file should contain all information the on-wiki log contains, although in a much less structured way. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 12:09, 14 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
thx a lot for fixing the bot. RZuo (talk) 15:06, 14 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Korrektur Drehung[edit]

Hallo Steinsplitter, Ich hatte um eine Drehung (Rotation) der File:Grafmonument van Adolf I van Nassau-Wiesbaden en Margarethe van Neurenberg.jpg um 90 Grad gebeten. Hier handelte es sich um einen Irrtum meinerseits. Ich bitte daher, die Drehung rückgängig zu machen bzw. das Bild um 270 Grad weiter zu drehen.
