Description

Project for the Wikimedia Commons community.

The intention behind this project is:

  • Better organization for specific communities. Commons has specific needs and a well-organized community which is expected to be actively involved in this Phabricator project and this project's tasks.
  • A potential bridge between non-technical users and developers: Not many users will know that a problem is related to some specific MediaWiki extension, but most users will be able to tell that their problem is happening in Commons. The Commons Phabricator project can be watched by tech ambassadors and other users who know the community and its technical links well and can help those users and triage those tasks.

See also Commons:Bugs
IRC: #wikimedia-commons-tech

Please do not report tasks under this project if the task is not actually specific to Commons but only because you found this problem on Commons. Also see How to report a bug.

(For the records: The creation of this project was discussed in T39883 and T802.)

Prototyperspective added a comment to T369459: The space below Wikidata Infoboxes on Commons category pages should be used for displaying subcategories (columns).

Well I feared that something like that is used so it's not so simple to change this in the code which is why I first went to the talk page of the infobox to propose alternatives. However, none of these seem to get implemented or be easier to implement plus changing this in the code would be the proper (instead of workaround) way.

Tacsipacsi added a project to T369459: The space below Wikidata Infoboxes on Commons category pages should be used for displaying subcategories (columns): MediaWiki-Categories.

I fear this isn’t possible (but I’d be happy to be proven wrong!): the subcategories use CSS columns, and in my experience elements with columns never wrap floated elements that are outside of the columns element. (I couldn’t find any standard or anything else supporting this, though, it’s just my experience.{{citation needed}})

Let's say someone is autoconfirmed at English Wikipedia, but not on Commons. Would you want them to be allowed to upload or not? And vice versa?

Shouldn't be just autoconfirmed (or perhaps a new permission specific to upload dialog) on Commons? That would be more straightforward and make more sense to me.

Prototyperspective added a comment to T369808: The Commons search "deepcategory" operator often does not work (Deep category query returned too many categories).

Sorry, bad example it was probably because the category was new and it takes a while for it to work with a new category. It does exclude the file at my side as well now. It was just an example, it also didn't work in many other cases. However, there the problem is the "A warning has occurred while searching: Deep category search timed out". I think it's best if I edit the issue to make it about this particular cause of it often not working (currently it's only in a comment), if I notice it failing on a non-new category with another error I'll add it, I think sometimes it didn't work but also didn't show this error but only whitespace. I shouldn't have only put this error in a comment but added it to the issue right away.

dcausse added a comment to T369808: The Commons search "deepcategory" operator often does not work (Deep category query returned too many categories).

I can't reproduce with the given example in the description, File:Nut_Grab.jpg (page id 29851242) is properly excluded when searching pageid:29851242 -deepcategory:"Animals with nuts". So I suspect that the problem might have been caused by the issues we had with dumps recently. @Prototyperspective could you confirm or possibly provide another example file that does not comply with the search query.
For reference (when writing this comment) the list of categories identified by deepcategory:"Animals with nuts" is:

  • Animals with nuts
  • Animals eating nuts
  • Animals eating peanuts
  • Curculio (larval damage)
  • Animals eating hazelnuts
  • Animals eating walnuts
  • Birds eating nuts
  • Sciurus vulgaris eating walnuts
  • Sciurus vulgaris eating hazelnuts
  • Sciuridae eating peanuts
  • Birds eating peanuts
  • Sciurus carolinensis eating walnuts
  • Curculio nucum (larva)
  • Tamias striatus eating peanuts
  • Sciurus vulgaris eating peanuts
  • Sciurus carolinensis eating peanuts
  • Tamias striatus fed by hand (EIC)

WebP is 8-bit only, right? (The reason I need a modern codec like AVIF/HEIC/JPEG XL is higher color bit depth.)

Trougnouf added a comment to T257652: Add support for AVIF: serve AVIF thumbnails where possible.

Also, it might be fun to compare HDR images with higher bits (10 or 12 per element, e.g. RAW) which is where the newer WebP and AVIF codecs do a better job

Jonathanischoice added a comment to T257652: Add support for AVIF: serve AVIF thumbnails where possible.

That is very cool :) My only nit-pick might be that starting with a JPEG source image might bias or throw off the lossy compression, since it will already have minor block and ring artifacts (especially if you're measuring SSIM or PSNR). Might be better to find an uncompressed TIFF or RAW image. Also, it might be fun to compare HDR images with higher bits (10 or 12 per element, e.g. RAW) which is where the newer WebP and AVIF codecs do a better job; and I'd like to dig into things like PIQE or BRISQUE measurements if I get time (unlikely!) since SSIM is a bit blunt.

Prototyperspective added a comment to T367652: [FastCCI gadget] The Good Pictures button in top right doesn't load (only shows "Connecting...").

Note: it also only shows "Connecting..." for the other buttons in that dropdown, I would find the two buttons "In this category and in..." very useful but in practice on has to go to petscan which most readers don't know about. The alternative of using the deepcategory search operator for that usually also doesn't work. Maybe this problem is caused by that, the issue is T369808
