Repeated errors using SVG translate

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hey there! I have been trying to use your SVG translate application to generate a French version of one of my SVG diagrams (located here) utilizing OAuth but keep running into an error that informs me thus: "Error - error-unexpected Hit your browser's back button to retry." Which I then do... which takes me back to the MediaWiki OAuth "allow" page, on which I again click the "Allow" button, and which then informs me, "This request has already been completed and cannot be resubmitted. Go back to the application and try to connect your account again, or contact the application author." Which is what I guess I am now trying to do.

I had hoped that the app would do the translation into French for me automatically, but this did not appear to work so I entered the terms in French myself and then hit the "Go" button of the SVG translate app. This is what brought me to the OAuth app, which I then approved, which then resulted in the error, which then caused me to ultimately lose my French translation altogether. I must be doing something wrong, but can't seem to figure out what. I could manually edit the file, of course, and enter the terms in French that way, but I admit I am a little lazy and besides, the translate app aught to work, no? And if it isn't working for me (in the way I tried to use it) then my guess is that it probably isn't working for other editors (in the same way) as well. Please advise when you get a chance. Thank you! KDS4444Talk 19:06, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Real estate investment

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

You were the last admin to protect Real estate investment. The AN discussion mentioned in the log doesn't mention this specific title.

It appears to be a plausible redirect to Real estate investing. Is that an acceptable reason to unsalt it? I am fine with the redirect itself being reprotected after creation, as long as one of us makes a reasonable attempt to categorize it first. (I normally use {{R from modification}} for minor grammatical modifications like this that don't fall under a more specific RCAT, but I digress.)

Do I still need to file a formal RFPP, or is talking to you enough? --SoledadKabocha (talk) 19:02, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Bots

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion


You are receiving this message because a technical change may affect a bot, gadget, or user script you have been using. The breaking change involves API calls. This change has been planned for two years. The WMF will start making this change on 30 June 2015. A partial list of affected bots can be seen here: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2015-June/081931.html This includes all bots that are using pywikibot compat. Some of these bots have already been fixed. However, if you write user scripts or operate a bot that uses the API, then you should check your code, to make sure that it will not break.

What, exactly, is breaking? The "default continuation mode" for action=query requests to api.php will be changing to be easier for new coders to use correctly. To find out whether your script or bot may be affected, then search the source code (including any frameworks or libraries) for the string "query-continue". If that is not present, then the script or bot is not affected. In a few cases, the code will be present but not used. In that case, the script or bot will continue working.

This change will be part of 1.26wmf12. It will be deployed to test wikis (including mediawiki.org) on 30 June, to non-Wikipedias (such as Wiktionary) on 1 July, and to all Wikipedias on 2 July 2015.

If your bot or script is receiving the warning about this upcoming change (as seen at https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages ), it's time to fix your code!

Either of the above solutions may be tested immediately, you'll know it works because you stop seeing the warning.

Do you need help with your own bot or script? Ask questions in e-mail on the mediawiki-api or wikitech-l mailing lists. Volunteers at m:Tech or w:en:WP:Village pump (technical) or w:en:Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard may also be able to help you.

Are you using someone else's gadgets or user scripts? Most scripts are not affected. To find out if a script you use needs to be updated, then post a note at the discussion page for the gadget or the talk page of the user who originally made the script.

Charts need a legend

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hi,

It seems you provided the charts on the (economic) profit page. There is however no legend that would explain what do they illustrate and there is no explanation of what the functions labels mean. Do you think you can fix that? The changes were made on various days of the Dec. 2010 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Profit_(economics)&oldid=404976816

I see that you're not around as much these days as you used to be, but I just wanted to follow up on this exchange - wondered if you'd had a chance to look at this? Thx. Mlaffs (talk) 01:33, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi @Mlaffs:. So sorry for the delay in actioning this. I've restored https://tools.wmflabs.org/jarry-common/scripts/callsigns.php https://tools.wmflabs.org/jarry-common/scripts/radiostations.php https://tools.wmflabs.org/jarry-common/scripts/radiostationsnone.php https://tools.wmflabs.org/jarry-common/scripts/infoboxchecker.php . I had to update a fair amount of the code so there's a fair chance I've introduced a few bugs -- just let me know (do use 'Email this user' to make sure I notice). Also if you need the queries updating :) Best, - Jarry1250 [Vacation needed] 21:12, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
Jeez, man - no apologies needed at all. None of us get paid for this, life happens, and you have no obligation whatsoever to do work for anyone else.
No bugs that I can see so far, but I did want to ask two quick follow-up questions. It's a long time ago that you built these originally now, so I'm blanking on the criteria. For radiostations, I think it was pretty straightforward - the code was just looking for one or more of a series of templates that I'd given you. So, for example, it'd return a result if it found one or more of AMQ, AML, and AMARB in an article, but it wouldn't return a result if it found all three. However, it didn't need to determine if it was a radio station article first, because only radio station articles would use those templates. Am I remembering right?
For radiostationsnone, on the other hand, it would have been looking for articles using none from that series of templates, but it would have to determine if it was a radio station article first. I'm guessing it's doing that by looking for the radio station infobox. Am I remembering that right? And, if so, is it only looking for the correctly-named infobox, or would it also recognize articles using redirects to that infobox? For example, the correct name is "Infobox radio station", but there are many articles using "Infobox Radio Station", "Infobox Radio station", etc. - did we account for those?
Thanks again for this. I really did forget how useful these tools were until I couldn't access them anymore. Mlaffs (talk) 21:46, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
Hey. The source code is at [1] -- it shouldn't be too hard to get the gist of, but yes, your analysis is spot on. radiostations takes seven lists of articles with different templates (see lines 38 to 44) and plays around with them, while radiostationsnone starts with the Infobox list and works from there (the list of templates it uses is on lines 42-3 of that file). The script doesn't seem to account for redirects, and currently uses "Infobox_Radio_Station". I had a quick check through and I couldn't find any with lowercase included. Presumably it would be useful for me to add the two variants you mention (r-s and R-s)? Thanks (and thanks for emailing, very helpful) - Jarry1250 [Vacation needed] 14:33, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
Yay, I remembered! And, even though I won't pretend I understood the code, I was able to get the gist. I think that radiostations is fine as it is. But if you're good with it, there are two enhancements for radiostationsnone that I'd like to suggest. One is, yes, let's add r-s and R-s to the infoboxes it checks for, as well as "Template:Radio_station" (the only other redirect that's in use). Second, in the list of templates it looks for, can you please add "LPFM_station_data"? That's a new combination template that someone created last year, similar to the "AM_station_data" and "FM_station_data" ones. Thanks! Mlaffs (talk) 19:20, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
So for the benefit of the archives it turns out that if you use the final form (r-s) then it automatically includes redirects. Anyway, fixed now (I also tweaked the code to make it run a bit faster). HTH - Jarry1250 [Vacation needed] 20:26, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

WikiCup 2015 September newsletter

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The finals for the 2015 Wikicup has now begun! Congrats to the 8 contestants who have survived to the finals, and well done and thanks to everyone who took part in rounds 3 and 4.

In round 3, we had a three-way tie for qualification among the wildcard contestants, so we had 34 competitors. The leader was by far   Casliber (submissions) in Group B, who earned 1496 points. Although 913 of these points were bonus points, he submitted 15 articles in the DYK category. Second place overall was   Coemgenus (submissions) at 864 points, who although submitted just 2 FAs for 400 points, earned double that amount for those articles in bonus points. Everyone who moved forward to Round 4 earned at least 100 points.

The scores required to move onto the semifinals were impressive; the lowest scorer to move onto the finals was 407, making this year's Wikicup as competitive as it's always been. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:

  1.   Cas Liber (submissions), who is competing in his sixth consecutive Wikicup final, again finished the round in first place, with an impressive 1666 points in Pool B. Casliber writes about the natural sciences, including ornithology, botany and astronomy. A large bulk of his points this round were bonus points.
  2.   Godot13 (submissions) (FP bonus points), second place both in Pool B and overall, earned the bulk of his points with FPs, mostly depicting currency.
  3.   Cwmhiraeth (submissions), first in Pool A, came in third. His specialty is natural science articles; in Round 4, he mostly submitted articles about insects and botany. Five out of the six of the GAs he submitted were level-4 vital articles.
  4.   Harrias (submissions), second in Pool A, took fourth overall. He tends to focus on articles about cricket and military history, specifically the 1640s First English Civil War.
  5.   West Virginian (submissions), from Pool A, was our highest-scoring wildcard. West Virginia tends to focus on articles about the history of (what for it!) the U.S. state of West Virginia.
  6.   Rodw (submissions), from Pool A, likes to work on articles about British geography and places. Most of his points this round were earned from two impressive accomplishments: a GT about Scheduled monuments in Somerset and a FT about English Heritage properties in Somerset.
  7.   Rationalobserver (submissions), from Pool B, came in seventh overall. RO earned the majority of her points from GARs and PRs, many of which were earned in the final hours of the round.
  8.   Calvin999 (submissions), also from Pool B, who was competing with RO for the final two spots in the final hours, takes the race for most GARs and PRs—48.

The intense competition between RO and Calvin999 will continue into the finals. They're both eligible for the Newcomers Trophy, given for the first time in the Wikicup; whoever makes the most points will win it.

Good luck to the finalists; the judges are sure that the competition will be fierce!

Invitation to subscribe to the edit filter mailing list

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hi, as a user in the edit filter manager user group we wanted to let you know about the new wikipedia-en-editfilters mailing list. As part of our recent efforts to improve the use of edit filters on the English Wikipedia it has been established as a venue for internal discussion by edit filter managers regarding private filters (those only viewable by administrators and edit filter managers) and also as a means by which non-admins can ask questions about hidden filters that wouldn't be appropriate to discuss on-wiki. As an edit filter manager we encourage you to subscribe; the more users we have in the mailing list the more useful it will be to the community. If you subscribe we will send a short email to you through Wikipedia to confirm your subscription, but let us know if you'd prefer another method of verification. I'd also like to take the opportunity to invite you to contribute to the proposed guideline for edit filter use at WP:Edit filter/Draft and the associated talk page. Thank you!

SVGTRanslate

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hello Jarry1250, I find the SVGTranslate tool very nice (especially that you get a kind of preview of the file to be translated). There are many files that contain lots of text items that need not be translated (e. g. numbers, certain names). However, it was my impression that the translate tool only works when you have filled in all the text boxes. This can create some unnecessary effort. Could you please perhaps modify the tool such that items are simply left unchanged if you leave the text box empty? Greetings --Furfur ⁂ Diskussion 14:32, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi Jarry. Any idea how to overcome this error (pattern ^.*\x{015e}.*$)? I am looking for categories which contain the symbol "Ş" in the title, and I can't rely solely on ^.*Ş.*$, since the latter returns other Unicode characters as well.

Thank you in advance for any help. --Gikü (talk) 13:41, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Gikü. Apologies for the late reply. I think fundamentally your problem is that mysql's regexp() function -- which is what the tool uses -- does not understand multibyte characters (including unicode). So I'm afraid you're going to get funky results any way you try. [2] Sorry. I have changed it so that it emits the exact wording of the error tough if it helps. - Jarry1250 [Vacation needed] 18:19, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Your svgcheck tool

Latest comment: 8 years ago4 comments2 people in discussion

There was mention of your tool at WP:VPT#Test rendering of SVG files recently, which made me look at it. Very nice! But I noted that Wikimedia wikis (and your tool) currently use a slightly patched version of librsvg 2.40.2, not 2.36.1 as the tool itself states. The specific package is available at http://apt.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/pool/main/libr/librsvg/, if you want to look into the difference from stock librsvg 2.40.2. Anomie⚔ 12:54, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

@Anomie: Hi Anomie. If one sshs into Labs, and runs /usr/bin/rsvg-convert -v, one gets 2.40.2. But if one uses exec() to have the webserver run the same command, 2.36.1 (Wikimedia) is returned. Why do you think that the image generated is in fact using 2.40.2? - Jarry1250 [Vacation needed] 17:12, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
 
 
 

WikiCup 2015 is now in the books! Congrats to our finalists and winners, and to everyone who took part in this year's competition.

This year's results were an exact replica of last year's competition. For the second year in a row, the 2015 WikiCup champion is   Godot13 (submissions) (FP bonus points). All of his points were earned for an impressive 253 featured pictures and their associated bonus points (5060 and 1695, respectively). His entries constituted scans of currency from all over the world and scans of medallions awarded to participants of the U.S. Space program.   Cwmhiraeth (submissions) came in second place; she earned by far the most bonus points (4082), for 4 featured articles, 15 good articles, and 147 DYKs, mostly about in her field of expertise, natural science.   Cas Liber (submissions), a finalist every year since 2010, came in third, with 2379 points.

Our newcomer award, presented to the best-performing new competitor in the WikiCup, goes to   Rationalobserver (submissions). Everyone should be very proud of the work they accomplished. We will announce our other award winners soon.

A full list of our award winners are:

We warmly invite all of you to sign up for next year's competition. Discussions and polls concerning potential rules changes are also open, and all are welcome to participate. The WikiCup judges will be back in touch over the coming months, and we hope to see you all in the 2016 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

Replacement of Labs SVG Check

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hello Jarry!

I'm working on a JS replacement of Labs SVG Check. My first working release can be tested on Commons:Commons:Commons SVG Checker. It is based on XML parsing which omits ugly regex mostly. I intend to make it support all known bugs at phabricator and with complete reference. I've did this since JS has a broader user base on Commons and I hope more people will participate in updating the checker.

Rendering is based on tool server maintained by User:Rillke. Further stats.grok.se can be used as a metric on Commons pages.

Hopefully you will support my proposal at 2015_Community_Wishlist_Survey starting on 30th November, too.

WikiCup 2016 is just around the corner...

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hello everyone, and we would like to wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2016 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. There are some changes we'd like to announce before the competition begins.

After two years of serving as WikiCup judge, User:Miyagawa has stepped down as judge. He deserves great thanks and recognition for his dedication and hard work, and for providing necessary transition for a new group of judges in last year's Cup. Joining Christine (User:Figureskatingfan) and Jason (User:Sturmvogel 66) is Andrew (User:Godot13), a very successful WikiCup competitor and expert in Featured Pictures; he won the two previous competitions. This is a strong judging team, and we anticipate lots of enjoyment and good work coming from our 2016 competitors.

We would also like to announce one change in how this year's WikiCup will be run. In the spirit of sportsmanship, Godot13 and Cwmhiraeth have chosen to limit their participation. See here for the announcement and a complete explanation of why. They and the judges feel that it will make for a more exciting, enjoyable, and productive competition.

The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. The judges are committed to not repeating the confusion that occurred last year and to ensuring that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.

If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Bots

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hi Jarry1250- I'm the newest addition to the Wikicup judges and wanted to introduce myself. I am in awe at the functionality of bots (and know next to nothing about how they are programmed or work). Are there any relevant WP articles (or links to outside sources) that could give me at least a beginner's knowledge of how bots are created? Many thanks in advance (and gratitude for all the help you provide the Wikicup).--Godot13 (talk) 05:08, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

How do you have 1/6 of a GA?

https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikicup/ currently says AHeneen has made 1.1666666 GAs...huh? One-sixth of an article? I've heard of incomplete articles but this takes the biscuit. -- numbermaniac (talk) 01:54, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

Good spot, thanks. Fixed in 0981059f, will go live later today. (AHeneen had 35 points but the script thought GAs were worth 30 - 35/30=1.1666...) - Jarry1250 [Vacation needed] 10:35, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

We are about to enter the second week of the 2016 WikiCup. The most recent player to sign up brings the current total to 101 contestants. Signups close on 5 February. If you’re interested, you can join this year's WikiCup here.

We are aware that in some areas the scoring bot’s numbers are a little bit off (i.e., overly generous) and are working to have that corrected as soon as possible.--MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 18:04, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

SVG Check works fine now. Pretty nifty tool, I wish I knew about it earlier! SVG Translate is still broken though. By the way, about SVG Check, it would be useful to make it render the SVG in the standard thumb size too. The RedBurn (ϕ) 21:43, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

SVG check utility

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hi Jarry1250, A short expression of thanks for the SVG check software you have made available. I have been drawing maps using Inkscape, and have come across several inconsistencies when uploading files, in particular the non-rendering of some objects within a drawing. I have found your utility very useful for checking if the render will work prior to upload. It works very well. Summerdrought (talk) 10:55, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello Jarry1250. Due to a request at WP:RMTR, I've moved Bao Nguyen (mayor) to Bao Nguyen. It seems you had protected that title back in 2012 against recreation, so I'm letting you know in case you object. The new article seems to be about a different person. If there is any vandalism, we can try to deal with it. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 03:33, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

One of Adam Cuerden’s several quality restorations during round 1

That's it, the first round is done, sign-ups are closed and we're into round 2. Forty-seven competitors move into this round (a bit shy of the expected 64), and we are roughly broken into eight groups of six. The top two of each group will go through to round 3, and then the top scoring 16 "wildcards" across all groups.

Twenty-two Good Articles were submitted, including three by   Cyclonebiskit (submissions), and two each by   MPJ-DK (submissions),   Hurricanehink (submissions),   12george1 (submissions), and   Cas Liber (submissions). Twenty-one Featured Pictures were claimed, including 17 by   Adam Cuerden (submissions) (the Round 1 high scorer). Thirty-one contestants saw their DYKs appear on the main page, with a commanding lead (28) by   Cwmhiraeth (submissions). Twenty-nine participants conducted GA reviews with   J Milburn (submissions) completing nine.

Please check this edit

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hi Jarry1250, hope all is well. Would you please check this edit I made, which I did to simplify the jump list on this important page as part of a multi-page cleanup effort in the Good articles area. I don't see a condition to need the "if" statement or a reason to use the full page name from this page, as once one is on this page I don't think the fully qualified name is necessary. But the comment mentions LivingBot, so I thought I should run this past you. Or if the bot no longer needs to stop by this page, perhaps we can remove the comment. Does LivingBot do anything else GA related? Best, Prhartcom (talk) 15:31, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of members of the ninth Parliament of Uganda, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Central Division. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

wmukevents icalendar file?

Latest comment: 8 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Hi,

Just wondering what workflow you use for generating http://tools.wmflabs.org/wmukevents/ ? Is it something that other chapters can use too?

——Sam Wilson 02:24, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Sam and sorry for the late reply. It's basically a translated version of [4], which the WMUK staff keep up to date (and in a predictable format). So I guess one could create a parallel version of both components, or modify the source code so that it worked with a slightly different format of input data. Does that help? - Jarry1250 [Vacation needed] 09:48, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Ah that's great! Thanks. Yeah, I'll have a crack at customising it. —Sam Wilson 23:44, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Latest comment: 7 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hello, Jarry1250.

I noticed that LivingBot has been using http:// to access the API, rather than https:// This is going to break soon, because of changes to the API. You can find more information in this e-mail message. If you need help updating your code to use https:// , then you might be able to find some help at w:en:Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard or on the mailing list.
