Please participate to the talk pages consultation

Hello

Our team at the Wikimedia Foundation is working on a project to improve the ease-of-use and productivity of wiki talk pages. As a Teahouse host, I can imagine you’ve run into challenges explaining talk pages to first-time participants.

We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis – to ask questions, to resolve differences, to organize projects and to make decisions. Communication is essential for the depth and quality of our content, and the health of our communities. We're currently leading a global consultation on how to improve talk pages, and we're looking for people that can report on their experiences using (or helping other people to use) wiki talk pages. We'd like to invite you to participate in the consultation, and invite new users to join too.

We thank you in advance for your participation and your help.

DatBot 6 stalled?

Hi, Looks like DatBot did 2 files at midnight and gave up - still Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests not done. Ronhjones  (Talk) 00:54, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

@Ronhjones: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL/Image.py:2274: DecompressionBombWarning: Image size (99630000 pixels) exceeds limit of 89478485 pixels, could be decompression bomb DOS attack. DecompressionBombWarning). Not sure what file it is though. I've run it again. Dat GuyTalkContribs 14:24, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
One of those weird glitches, you can never track down. :-( Category is cleared. Ronhjones  (Talk) 17:08, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
Bot got as far as the "N"'s tonight and expired - I assume File:NTW final logo.png was its next target (95,388,750 pixels!). It will either catch up tomorrow or die... Ronhjones  (Talk) 01:47, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
Maybe a size check before letting it lose on PIL? If too big - put it in Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing Ronhjones  (Talk) 01:50, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
