File:Morning footmarket Santiago de los Caballeros.jpg
Best Zhuyifei1999,
Through consultations "FlickreviewR 2 (Talk" I came here.
I wanted to upload a file from Flickr, but did not go and have downloaded the it and then uploaded as "File: Morning foot market Santiago de los Caballeros.jpg". My question is: How do I upload a file directly from Flickr so that it does not double as now? --Jos1950 (talk) 20:47, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
- You can try toollabs:flickr2commons --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 08:54, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
Flickr bot reuploading
Hi Zhuyifei1999, The Flickrbot had reuploaded 2 images I'd just uploaded (File:Military Parade (22600788486).jpg and File:Military Parade (22438854110).jpg) however there's no difference between my upload and the flickrbots upload so I'm abit confused on why the reuploads?,
Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 23:07, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

- No idea. The uploads are exactly same binary-ly. And the code explicitly only allows uploading larger versions, and there are no EXIF rotation breaking everything. Weird. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 06:18, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
Question about licenses
I apologize if this seems like an inappropriate question, but what are wiki acceptable licenses if reuse a picture from flickr to commons? Coderzombie (talk) 00:08, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
- for example, is license on this photograph ok as it allows non-commercial use? Coderzombie (talk) 00:23, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
- Please see COM:F for a list of OK flickr licenses here. The mentioned file's license is
NOT OK due to it allowing non-commercial use only. See Commons:Licensing/Justifications for justifications. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 04:48, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
- This is very helpful. Thanks. Coderzombie (talk) 07:25, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Recent changes
- Notifications were not always marked as read when you followed a link from an email notification. This will now happen. [11]

- Alerts (the red badge) will not be automatically marked as read when you open the Notifications popup. [14]
- When you get several thanks you can see them as one notification. This is instead of one notification for each thanks. [15]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 June. It will be on all wikis from 23 June (calendar).

Recent changes
- The ORES service has now moved to a new location. This should make it easier to use ORES. The ORES review service is now available as a beta feature on Wikidata and Persian Wikipedia. ORES is an artificial intelligence system for Wikimedia wikis to help editors. [16]
- The order of wikis in collapsed cross-wiki notifications was different than when the list was expanded. This is now fixed. [17]
- A new category for tracking pages with math errors was added: Category:Pages with math errors. [18]
Problems
- The Wikimedia Etherpad crashed on June 23. Some edits done that day have been lost. They can be found at etherpad-restore.wikimedia.org for another few days. [19][20]
Changes this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 28 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 29 June. It will be on all wikis from 30 June (calendar).
- The way to mark notifications as read or unread will be changed to be more clear. [21]

Future changes
- The Collaboration team at the Wikimedia Foundation will look at developing better tools for edit review. This is because research suggests we scare away newcomers who want to help. [22]

- The sorting of Notifications into the two fly-out menus is going to change on July 5 to 7. Bundled notifications should be easier to explore and mark as read individually. [24][25][26]
- From 29 June git.wikimedia.org (running Gitblit) will redirect all requests to Phabricator. The vast majority of requests should be correctly redirected. [27]
- Catalan and Polish Wikipedias will have Wikidata descriptions added to articles in the mobile view by default. This is currently a beta option for the mobile versions. This might come to other wikis later. [28]

СС0 file
Hello! I wonder why this file (File:Fallout 4 Pinup Cosplay.jpg) has not been reviewed yet by Flickr Reviewer.--Александр Мотин (talk) 13:33, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

Zhuyifei1999, Thank you for cleaning out the Category:Pages using authority control without Wikidata. That was a quite successful run. I am assuming you are all done with that task now. --Jarekt (talk) 13:25, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
- Oh it's still running weekly. Is that fine for you? --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 13:35, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
- I thought your bot just finished with task 26, and I was very pleased with the outcome. I do not think files left in Category:Pages using authority control without Wikidata have any local interwiki links. --Jarekt (talk) 15:03, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Recent changes
- A new image scaler fixed a number of bugs for showing SVG files. Some new problems turned up. [31][32][33]
- Notifications are grouped by types. They are now counted by number of notifications and not by unread groups. That change may increase the number of notifications displayed. The earlier way of counting was often incorrect. Unread notifications will also be displayed first. [34][35][36]
- Special:Notifications now has a maximum width for the notifications list on desktop computers. This allows long titles and descriptions to be cut properly. Notifications are now also better parsed. [37][38][39]
Problems
- On 5 July Wikimedia Commons had problems and could not be edited for 20 minutes. For a short while after that the recent changes log and some gadgets were not working properly. It affected administrative actions on other projects too. [40]
- Users who have multiple unread notifications can mark them as read by visiting Special:Notifications page on their wiki.
Changes this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 July. It will be on all wikis from 14 July (calendar).

SignBot
Not so clever --Itu (talk) 14:43, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
- @Itu: Please suggest a better algorithm when it comes to edit conflicts. Currently it simply detects if the line-to-sign has been signed --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 15:09, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
- Simple solution: Choose a reasonable delay! --Itu (talk) 16:36, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
- Define reasonable --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 16:52, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
- At least 1 minute, definitly. --Itu (talk) 19:57, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
- It _is_ one minute. And by "at least" I'm assuming you mean there should be a longer delay; and with a longer delay there are higher changes of edit conflicts. That's clearly not a solution. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 21:55, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
