Photo of the year

Commons talk:Picture of the Year/2017/Help

Why am I bothering you? Because you made that page a redirect to Commons talk:Picture of the Year/2017 which as you can see from the contents is a bit of a problem. (so I removed the redirect) The whole contest seems broken. If it is not your thing I'll be happy to bring it to the VP though. (unless you can think of a better place to take it) - Alexis Jazz 12:22, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

I redirected it the opposite way. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 14:40, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Tech News: 2018-17

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

  • All Wikipedias now have Page Previews.
  • The iOS and Android apps now have synced reading lists. This means you can save articles to a private list that can be seen on your other devices if you use the apps.
  • The icons in the 2010 wikitext editor have changed. [1]
  • The visual editor and the 2017 wikitext ask you to write an edit summary after you press Publish. This button now also shows an ellipsis. This is to show that pressing Publish is not the last step. [2]

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 24 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 25 April. It will be on all wikis from 26 April (calendar).

Meetings

  • Recurrent item You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 24 April at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
  • Recurrent item Advanced item You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 25 April at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

  • <mapframe> will come to most Wikipedias in May. This means that you can put interactive maps in the articles. Nine Wikipedias that use a strict version of flagged revisions will not get this feature in May. [3]
  • The rollback function could change. This was a German community request. All editors with rollback rights can leave feedback on the proposed solution. The last day to leave feedback is 4 May (UTC).

Multilingual captions testing is available

Greetings,

The early prototype for multilingual caption support is available for testing. More information on how to sign up to test is on Commons. Thanks, happy editing to you. - Keegan (WMF) (talk) 17:06, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Tech News: 2018-18

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 parameter for unpatrolled edits in recent changes filters changed name. You might need to update saved filters and links. [4]

Problems

  • Advanced item We are migrating wikis from Tidy to Remex. Because of a bug the 250 wikis which do not yet use Remex were switched on 23 April. This is two months early. This meant that pages with broken wikitext showed wrongly to readers. The bug was undone the next day. You can help fix broken wikitext to avoid this problem when your wiki switches. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. You can follow the process on Phabricator. [5]

Changes later this week

  • You will be able use CodeMirror in the 2017 wikitext editor on all wikis. CodeMirror helps with syntax highlighting. It has previously been a beta feature and only available on wikis with scripts that are written from left to right. [6]
  • When an administrator blocks someone they will have a calendar they can use to choose when the block ends. This is to make it easier to pick a specific date. [7]
  • Advanced item You can soon turn on the Performance Inspector in the Editing section in your preferences. It shows information about the performance of pages. This could be the size of modules in the page, how many CSS selectors are defined on the page and how many are used, or the size of the images on the page. This tool is intended to help editors fix pages that load slowly. [8]
  • Advanced item There is a new abuse filter function called equals_to_any. You can use it to check if its first argument is equal (===) to any of the following ones. For example you can use it to check if the page's namespace is amongst a given set of values in a more compact way than you could earlier. You can read more on mediawiki.org.
  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 1 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 2 May. It will be on all wikis from 3 May (calendar).

Meetings

  • Recurrent item You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 1 May at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
  • Recurrent item Advanced item You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 2 May at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

  • The Wikimedia Cloud Services team is working on a new project called Toolhub. The goal is to make it easier for Wikimedians to discover software tools they can use. You can leave feedback on the talk page or email jhare@wikimedia.org to leave private feedback.
  • Advanced item All wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in all namespaces will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 2 May. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Wikibooks wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in the main namespace will switch on 9 May. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. [9][10][11]

VisualFileChange mishap

I'm not sure whether that's a bug (ie my mistake) or a feature, but the images I mass-nominated for deletion via VisualFileChange got added to an old deletion discussion. Does that require cleanup, or should I just keep it as is so that people commenting can see that the same problem existed before? Huon (talk) 23:33, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

This is how DR worked since I've been here, so just keep it as is and it's okay. (another example from today) --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 23:50, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Africa

The Wiki Loves Africa 2017 photographic contest is officially closed. Thank you all for your participation !

This year, the photographic competition has resulted in an amazing 18,294 image uploads to Commons around the theme People at Work.
International winners have been announced !!! Check it out on Commons:Wiki Loves Africa 2017/Winners. Congratulations to winners and all those who participated and organised events. More national winners are yet to be announced.
Please follow us on Facebook to know more and stay informed next year.

There are several fun ways you can help us to make the impact of Wiki Loves Africa stronger:

  • Add more categories to your images so that people will find them to use them in articles ... you can see how to do this here: Quick Guide to Categories on Commons
  • Improve the images description to make them easier to understand and reuse.
  • Add your image to a relevant Wikipedia article, i.e. if your image shows a tailor sewing, then add the image to an article on Sewing or Tailors - this allows readers to see different global perspectives of a universal subject. You can see how to do this here: How to insert images into Wikipedia using WikiText
  • If there is no article that reflects the subject of your images, then start an article about that subject. If you are a new editor, you can see how to do that here: Creating your first article
  • Add more images - you can add more images or media that reflect interesting and encyclopedic subjects in your immediate community.
  • Use the images produced during the contest. Here is a short link to the best ones : c:Category:Best images from Wiki Loves Africa 2017

We look forward to seeing your contributions!!

Warmest,

Problems

  • Advanced item The abuse filters had a problem with blocks where you had changed how long they last. It used the default length everywhere. This was in late April. Abuse filter users should make sure the right block length is used and change them if needed. This is only for filters where how long blocks last had been changed. [13]

Changes later this week

  • The advanced search function beta feature will be on all Wikimedia wikis. It makes it easier to use some of the special search functions that most editors don't know exist. [14]
  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 May. It will be on all wikis from 10 May (calendar).

Signbot

Why was https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Patrick_Rogel&diff=299980238&oldid=299679366 not signed? - Alexis Jazz 18:58, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

That page contains {{speedy, and the code blacklisted this. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 19:58, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
Maybe check if the character before {{ is no > (from a nowiki tag) and the character after speedy is not a w? - Alexis Jazz 00:56, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
I don't think there is many cases where this rule will hit. Doing nothing is sometimes better than doing something incorrectly. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 01:09, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
19,169 user talk pages SignBot won't work on. - Alexis Jazz 01:37, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
Why do you think there will be comments to the pages? {{Speedywhat}} no longer substitutes into {{Speedywhat/lang}} and active users should already got their old threads archived. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 01:43, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
I have searched a little more and it seems indeed this rarely if ever causes trouble, except on the page I asked about. I will ask Patrick to do something about it.. - Alexis Jazz 03:05, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Deletion_requests/File:VW_Cartoon_Age.jpg&diff=304066761&oldid=304060447

Less than 800 edits, no speedy, no opt-out. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 02:44, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

I think that's because DRs are neither in the talk namespace nor have __NEWSECTIONLINK__ in it, and the bot just doesn't know for sure that it's a talk page. I haven't able to figure out a good solution to this complexity, to determine whether a DR subpage is a DR of a file, or some listing page. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 04:08, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
Maybe just check if message from the user contains "{{Commons:Deletion requests/"? (you could also check if the page contains that, but that will give you false positives sometimes) Or if the edit summary contains "Listing"? Or check the page title for Commons:Deletion requests/[0-9/]*$ (or something like that)? - Alexis Jazz ping plz 04:28, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
I honestly prefer a false negative rather than a false positive. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 09:11, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
Yeah I was thinking I should have clarified that better.. I know of at least one DR talk page that includes some other DRs. But then, I created that, so it may be the only one. It would falsely identify positively as being a listing page, which for your purposes is a false negative. All the other ways I suggested are more precise. You could even combine them?
  • Do not sign if the edit summary contains "Listing"
  • Do not sign if the page title matches Commons:Deletion requests/[0-9/]*$
  • Do not sign if message from the user contains "{{Commons:Deletion requests/"
  • Do not sign if "{{Commons:Deletion requests/" is found anywhere on the page (would result in not signing on at least one talk page and there is really no need if you are already checking the user message for this)
- Alexis Jazz ping plz 12:48, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
Hmm. Will implement tomorrow. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 16:58, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
✓ Done https://gist.github.com/zhuyifei1999/49af65a7f07fa950a381171ea037135e/revisions#diff-a811b176d8c453bac70f97c5fb168c44R316. I was only able to implement the second and the fourth. The isDiscussion function has no knowledge of the comment or the diff. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 10:28, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
That was quick! I tested it as well [17] [18] and I think it's working. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 10:51, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Category:Copyright violations

Page has suddenly got a huge pink box - the only related change I can find is Template:Lang - has this upset the page? Ronhjones  (Talk) 00:23, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) maybe related to Commons:Village pump#{{Support}} & Co. is broken for languages other than English. - Alexis Jazz 00:56, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

broken template / help needed

Hi Zhuyifei1999, can you please have a look at {{Tiroler Kunstkataster}} and sub-templates, for example of usage see File:Haus_Schoeneck_-_Vorderansicht.jpg. While the text generated by the template was always written without link breaks, for some days now there are deliberate line breaks corrupting the text generated by the template. No transcluded template changed except {{Lang}} [21] (by you). Can you please have a check whether the <div> in {{Lang}} is necessary and if so, what has to be changed in my template? IMHO the <div> will prevent the inline use of {{Lang}}. @Braveheart: for information. regards --Herzi Pinki (talk) 16:56, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the ping, from looking at the html source it seems like the lang class is producing line breaks now that weren't there before. Braveheart (talk) 17:00, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
Zhuyifei1999, found a workaround (?) to cope with your change (it is documented, but I didn't RTFM first :-( ): [22], but I still consider this to be a dangerous change. regards --Herzi Pinki (talk) 17:08, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
Yes it is dangerous to change the default to div, but it is even worse to keep the default as span. The vast majority of templates use {{Lang}} in a div-live style instead of a span-like style, and they all have to be changed individually to not get wrecked by the Tidy replacement next month. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 23:18, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi Zhuyifei1999, can you please care for {{Zabytek/layout}}, it is write-protected. regards --Herzi Pinki (talk) 06:55, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

✓ Done made it use div properly, hopefully --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 09:12, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
would have expected tag=span as additional parameter to {{Lang}}, but your solution does also fix the problem. thanks --Herzi Pinki (talk) 09:19, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
I did it that way to prevent issues that may arise when {{{text|Empty}}} expands into a block element. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 11:09, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
Blocks are things like div p table, and inline are things like span a , and normal text. Inline inside block is okay; block inside inline is not. The latter usage will cause rendering errors in the very near future, once tidy is replaced with remuxhtml --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 11:14, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Embedded Data Bot

I am writing to let you know that for about four days the bot has been inserting the template twice, e.g. File:Wheat crop- Daharki-Sindh.jpg. --jdx Re: 07:28, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

I just restarted the RC-polling job. Hopefully that will fix it --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 09:27, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

Program for extracting hidden data

Which program do you use to extract hidden information inside files? I would like to inspect some of the files I see WP0 uploading. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 01:49, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Magog the Ogre: Embedded Data Bot is on the job, I suggest further questions be private.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 02:00, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
@Magog the Ogre: If you see something like 'After 123KiB (123456 bytes, via Ending,Magic)' it is concatenation. The embedded file starts at byte #123456 (decimal), assuming the very first byte read is byte #0. A utility like en:Tail_(Unix) can extract it, or you can write a script that reads 123456 bytes and discard it, then reads the rest into a new extracted file. This is for the concatenated embedded data extraction given the offset. How the offset is found, I cannot reveal the method in detail in public. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 06:18, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Robitaille

Why this pic (File:Luc Robitaille 2016.jpg) isn't accepted on commons? In general, why the licence cc-by-nd-2.0 isn't accepted here? Like we can share this picture, as long as it's not edited. --Super Bazooka (talk) 18:43, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Because Commons licensing requirements requires that the creation of derivative works be allowed. Period. This is outlined in our licensing policy which can be found here: COM:L. The fact that you uploaded it knowing that it is not acceptable is not ok. Please do not do that again. Do not purposefully upload images that you know are not acceptable here. Continually doing so will result in the revocation of your editing privileges. I have marked the image for deletion. --Majora (talk) 19:28, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
I didn't even know that the cc-by-nd-2.0 licence isn't accepted here until I see the failed review on the file... --Super Bazooka (talk) 19:36, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

Tech News: 2018-22

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

  • You can now use global preferences on most wikis. This means you can set preferences for all wikis at the same time. Before this you had to change them on each individual wiki. Global preferences will come to the Wikipedias later this week. [23][24]
  • It is now easier for blocked mobile users to see why they were blocked. [25]
  • Wikidata now supports lexicographical data. This helps describe words.
  • There is now a checkbox on Special:ListUsers to let you see only users in temporary user groups. [26]
  • Some rare invisible Unicode characters have recently been banned from page titles. This includes soft hyphens (U+00AD) and left-to-right (U+2066) and right-to-left (U+2067) isolate markers. Existing pages with these characters will soon be moved by a script. [27]
  • Advanced item There's a new Wikimedia Foundation team to support the Wikimedia technical communities. It's called the Technical Engagement team. Most of the team members did similar work in other teams before this. [28]

Problems

  • Some translatable pages are showing old translations instead of latest ones. The cause of this issue has been fixed. We will update all pages automatically to show the latest translations. [29]

Changes later this week

  • There will be a new special page named PasswordPolicies. This page gives information about the password rules for each user group on that wiki. [30]
  • A new way to see moved paragraphs in diffs is coming to most wikis. This is to make it easier to find the moved paragraphs and the changes in them. [31]
  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 29 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 30 May. It will be on all wikis from 31 May (calendar).
  • Advanced item Wikis can enable Citoid to provide automatic reference look-up in the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. This is complex. The tool will now disable itself if the configuration isn't correct. It has warned about this in the JavaScript console since February. Check that your wiki is configured correctly.

Future changes

  • Content Translation drafts which have not been updated in over a year will be removed. This allows other users to translate those articles. [33]
  • A survey is collecting information on what users think about how Wikimedia wiki pages are loaded. This information could be used in future development. [34]
  • Advanced item Some wikis will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 30 May and 13 June. Wikis with fewer than 100 linter issues in the main namespace in all high-priority linter categories will switch. This includes Wikidata. Tidy will probably be removed on all wikis in the first week of July. [35][36]

Embedded data in PDF files

Please look at File:Test file iwill delet.pdf and File:PDFSigQFormalRep.pdf – most likely they contain embedded data and the bot didn't tag them. --jdx Re: 10:39, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

<rant>oh my god why does PDF file format have to **exist**.</rant> Looking... --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 12:14, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
New examples caught by ABF's rule #166: File:New line of the street.pdf, File:The best aggents.pdf, File:Neew.pdf, File:13gdg.pdf and File:Stawsbaw.pdf. I suspect that soon we will see much more of these. --jdx Re: 04:13, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
Another example: File:Diwanr.pdf. --jdx Re: 04:20, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

After various modifications to the code, it looks like Matroska data being embedded inside. 

[{'length': 3498, 'mime': ('text/plain', 'UTF-8 Unicode text, with CRLF, LF line terminators'), 'pos': 0}, {'length': 791, 'mime': ('text/plain', 'ASCII text, with very long lines'), 'pos': 0}, {'length': 1, 'mime': ('application/octet-stream', 'very short file (no magic)'), 'pos': 0}, {'length': 37675, 'mime': ('application/x-font-ttf', 'TrueType font data'), 'pos': 0}, {'length': 633, 'mime': ('text/plain', 'ASCII text'), 'pos': 0}, {'length': 1, 'mime': ('application/octet-stream', 'very short file (no magic)'), 'pos': 0}, {'length': 47334, 'mime': ('application/x-font-ttf', 'TrueType font data'), 'pos': 0}, {'length': 759, 'mime': ('text/plain', 'ASCII text'), 'pos': 0}, {'length': 723498681, 'mime': ('video/x-matroska', 'Matroska data'), 'pos': 0}, {'length': 25862, 'mime': ('application/octet-stream', 'data'), 'pos': 0}, {'length': 227, 'mime': ('text/plain', 'ASCII text, with no line terminators'), 'pos': 0}, {'length': 161, 'mime': ('application/octet-stream', 'data'), 'pos': 0}, {'length': 191, 'mime': ('text/plain', 'ASCII text, with no line terminators'), 'pos': 0}, {'length': 264, 'mime': ('application/octet-stream', 'data'), 'pos': 0}]

--Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 05:13, 7 June 2018 (UTC) The second file (zip) 

[{'length': 489532702, 'mime': ('application/zip', 'Zip archive data, at least v1.0 to extract'), 'pos': 0}, {'length': 3498, 'mime': ('text/plain', 'UTF-8 Unicode text, with CRLF, LF line terminators'), 'pos': 0}, {'length': 148, 'mime': ('application/octet-stream', 'data'), 'pos': 0}, {'length': 227, 'mime': ('text/plain', 'ASCII text, with no line terminators'), 'pos': 0}, {'length': 60, 'mime': ('application/octet-stream', 'data'), 'pos': 0}, {'length': 25862, 'mime': ('application/octet-stream', 'data'), 'pos': 0}, {'length': 791, 'mime': ('text/plain', 'ASCII text, with very long lines'), 'pos': 0}, {'length': 1, 'mime': ('application/octet-stream', 'very short file (no magic)'), 'pos': 0}, {'length': 37675, 'mime': ('application/x-font-ttf', 'TrueType font data'), 'pos': 0}, {'length': 633, 'mime': ('text/plain', 'ASCII text'), 'pos': 0}, {'length': 1, 'mime': ('application/octet-stream', 'very short file (no magic)'), 'pos': 0}, {'length': 47334, 'mime': ('application/x-font-ttf', 'TrueType font data'), 'pos': 0}, {'length': 759, 'mime': ('text/plain', 'ASCII text'), 'pos': 0}, {'length': 135, 'mime': ('application/octet-stream', 'data'), 'pos': 0}, {'length': 123, 'mime': ('application/octet-stream', 'data'), 'pos': 0}]

The third file (mp4):

How many formats do I have to blacklist? sigh --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 05:20, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

Yeah, size of these files suggests that there are videos embedded inside rather than archives with a software. BTW. As a temporary solution I have set up Special:AbuseFilter/203. --jdx Re: 05:25, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for the filter. These are the stream attributes along with the mime that the bot generates:

Tech News: 2018-23

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 MonoBook skin has been optimised for mobile devices. It now looks different. [37]
  • Planet Wikimedia collects blogs about Wikimedia. It will now use the Rawdog feed aggregator to do this instead of Planet. [38][39]
  • Redirect links in Special:WhatLinksHere now link to the original page and not the target page. This was done earlier and changed the used messages on some pages. This was a problem for wikis that customized the message. A new change fixed this by using the old messages with one more parameter for customization. Wikis that already changed their customized messages will have to move the customization back again. [40]

Problems

  • You will not be able to edit some wikis between 06:00 and 06:30 UTC on 13 June. You can see if your wiki is one of them.
  • MassMessage did not work 24–28 May. This is also why last week's Tech News was late. [41]

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 5 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 6 June. It will be on all wikis from 7 June (calendar).

Meetings

  • Recurrent item You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 5 June at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
  • Recurrent item Advanced item You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 6 June at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Embedded Data Bot and a race condition

It seems that the bot has an issue related to a race condition – a WP0 abuser rapidly uploaded a bunch of small PNG files containing RAR archives (most likely a video split into small parts), but the bot didn't delete all of them – it protected a few files against re-creation but didn't delete them, I deleted them manually, e.g. File:Copie de Copie de Copie de Copie de 001 Breaking And Bad 25.png. --jdx Re: 19:04, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

SignBot on the Hungarian Wikipedia

Hello! I've met SignBot and I'd like to ask that is it possible to run on the Hungarian Wikipedia too? If yes, I'm sure my community would support the tool and would be very grateful. If you have any question, feel free to ask. Best regards, Bencemac (talk) 18:58, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

The code is on GitHub Gist. It has some site-local customizations so it's best if you can find someone from your wiki to fork, edit, and run the bot. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 20:00, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

Could you help? -- ato (talk) 19:28, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

@Ato 01: Sorry for not seeing this. I think you need an upgraded version of requests and/or urllib3 than the default provided with toolforge. One way to install it is using a virtualenv/venv --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 14:13, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
Thank you. I am a step further. I have installed Redis too. The next and hopefully the last one what missing is a redisconfig.

    from redisconfig import KEYSIGN
ImportError: No module named 'redisconfig'

-- ato (talk) 22:24, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

You need a redisconfig.py that defines a single constant KEYSIGN that contains a random prefix for security reasons, see wikitech:Help:Toolforge#Redis --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 01:43, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
Thank you. I have read the help about redis above, but I am afraid, I am too unexperienced for that. From that help above I could only generate a good prefix. I shooted a redisconfig.py from here but it does not work. I could not use my prefix in it and I can not build a redisconfig.py myself. Could you show an example what could work? I try to disturb as few as I can. Sorry about it. -- ato (talk) 17:51, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
No, not that redisconfig.py. What I mean is a file with the contents of KEYSIGN = '[your prefix without brackets]'. This is in a separate hidden file only because of security. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 17:58, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
Thank you! I think it's working right now on user talk pages. :)

But how can I make it hidden? If I try chmod 0770, I receive a PermissionError. -- ato (talk) 18:37, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

... And ended with TimeoutError. -- ato (talk) 18:40, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

The owner of /data/project/ato/scripts/redisconfig.py is your user accout, but should be your tool account. Gotta run take on it.
TimeoutError is a protective measure when it doesn't see an RC for a minute, it aborts itself and gets restarted by grid engine. You can change that timeout. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 18:44, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

The bot made its first edit in huwiki successfully. I should only adjust with grid engine. Maybe at the weekend. Thank you! -- ato (talk) 11:25, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
