Uploads have been going much better today, thank you. :)

Following the merge, can this be broadened to include all devices (e.g., meta quests), not just iOS?

Is the restriction on the page width relevant for Wikidata? I thought it was aimed at large amounts of prose, like Wikipedia articles. Could it just be turned off by default?

Work that @Mike_Peel can help us with:
- We need to update https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Filepage.css with the following:
table.commons-file-information-table, .fileinfotpl-type-information, .fileinfotpl-type-artwork, .fileinfo-paramfield { color: #202122; }

"hack stylesheet" - can you be more specific? That doesn't sound good for the long term.
I'm happy to make edits to fix this on-wiki (I'm an interface admin on Commons), I'm just not entirely sure what needs changing. :)

I'm still working through the processing of the photos I took, hope to upload them soon.

useful links:
https://developer.apple.com/augmented-reality/quick-look/ exists - not quite VR, but AR. Could work for MediaWiki? Possibly needs USDZ (for apple) and GLTF (for Android/Quest) versions of the 3D models?
Trying to figure out ways of linking to existing 3D content on Commons. For example, there is https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Parthenon.stl - a 3D model of the Parthenon. It's possible to view it in 3D on Commons, if you click the '3D' button top-left, then you end up at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Parthenon.stl#/media/File:Parthenon.stl . Testing on Wikipedia though, you get https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mike_Peel/Sandbox2 - clicking 3D takes you to commons, and you have to click again on 3D to actually view it in 3D... The 3D models are linked to in Wikidata items, though, using Property:P4896 - so there is a way of finding them from a Wikipedia article fairly directly. They are also in the Wikidata Infobox on Commons.

Copying over the report from the other ticket, in case that helps resolve this:
Oops, I'd forgotten about the previous ticket, thanks for merging. Also apologies for accidentally changing subscribers, restoring those.

After being abruptly told to make an edit on Commons to remove Module:No_Globals from WikidataIB (https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Mike_Peel&diff=prev&oldid=868602169), I finally traced the logic back to this ticket. I've added a link to this from the documentation [https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Extension:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual&diff=prev&oldid=6470970] to help others find this ticket, and will make the edit, but there needs to be way better outreach to migrate all the uses described at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16748603 to this new solution.

Migrated.
Many thanks @taavi - I managed to figure it all out today, particularly using that last link. It seems it's basically a complete change from the old system. I'll keep an eye on it, but hopefully it will run daily using the new system from now on.

The setup works fine with jsub, how do I just use the same environment with this new setup?
Can't I use my local environment, which loads when I log in?
Ah, well spotted, thanks! That moves the problem on a stage, where it now says:
So I must be missing something, but I was running this at /data/project/pibot/wikicode:
Oh, me again. On it...

I'm the operator of Pi bot, I'll check into this as soon as I can.

I'm (personally) not sure this is something that would only be solved with a research paper, it would probably also need the development of a generally available tool to enable future analytics in this area - although those probably aren't decoupled things.

Thanks @Legoktm - that seems to work for Scholia. However, it doesn't work for Resonator - try https://iw.toolforge.org/reasonator/Q1513315 vs. https://reasonator.toolforge.org/?q=Q1513315 . And then there are more complex cases like https://glamtools.toolforge.org/glamorgan.html?&category=South_Pole_Telescope&depth=1&month=last or https://wikishootme.toolforge.org/#q=Q1513315&main_commons_category=South_Pole_Telescope etc. (and other links at the bottom of https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:South_Pole_Telescope - or the infobox in most commons categories).

Please do make sure to submit your final application via the Outreachy website before the deadline! That is the only way we can formally receive applications to consider for the project.
Just to be clear - make sure to submit your contributions and final application on the Outreachy website before the deadline! It's fine to still include contributions there if they haven't been reviewed or if you've made changes since you last got feedback on them. But do make sure you submit your final application before the deadline!

OK, I think linking is fine, I just wanted to avoid a situation where you submitted something here but didn't fill in a final application on Outreachy, which would be bad. :-) Normally I've just seen written timelines posted on Outreachy (along the lines of 'Weeks 1-2, X, Y, Z activities', with weeks on different lines), I guess the Outreachy system isn't so friendly for tables.
Hi @Shashi.coding Please make sure to post this on the Outreachy website directly, since we can only accept applicants through that process. You must make a final application on the Outreachy website. I'm closing this phabricator task as invalid.

Hi @Anne you need to submit this on the Outreachy website, not here. Closing the task as invalid.

If you're going to be supporting mismatches on labels, descriptions, aliases (which would be good!), then making type required might make sense - and making changes like that while the tool is still in early stages is good (or at least, better than later!). There are ~3.6m mismatched English descriptions at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Short_description_is_different_from_Wikidata that I could start automatically uploading when that becomes possible.
Oct 16 2023
Is this the breaking change? I'm currently using 'item_id,statement_guid,property_id,wikidata_value,meta_wikidata_value,external_value,external_url'. I'm not sure what a guid is? Will 'type' be optional - in which case it is better at the end rather than the start?

With "kind of experience you are looking for", it's anything that demonstrates that you are well suited to do the project, which could be coding/documentation/etc. that you can link to as examples; involvement in the Wikimedia projects, other open source projects, etc. - it's an open question that is worth spending time answering to describe the background that you're coming from.
I'm doing a bulk upload from LIghtroom this eve and am running into "The MediaWiki error backend-fail-internal occured: An unknown error occurred in storage backend "local-swift-eqiad"." again.
Oct 14 2023
Thanks so much for working on this @Arlolra ! Let's see how this goes. :-) If the different filename formats do continue to cause problems, I could probably update the code for QICbot to correct them on a daily basis, if that might be useful.
Apologies for the confusion about Slack - have found and corrected the bad link (hopefully!). We're not using Slack for this part of the process, you should join Zulip instead using this link: https://wikimedia.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/399895-outreachy27 (also given at the top of this page).

Re-run this evening, it seems to be stuck at 'Pending'.

Also seeing this, ongoing issue? E.g., at https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q34623&curid=37349&diff=1985491049&oldid=1959113485 , https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q19599427&oldid=prev&diff=1984920937

Thanks @TheDJ. I'm happy to claim responsibility for this - it's because the Wikidata Infobox improves multilingual search engine optimisation in Commons categories that it's used in by including all language Wikidata labels. I don't think the changes to search helped things here (from my personal point of view, they made things worse by hiding category search results). I've been talking about this for several years now as an improvement to multilingual search on Commons, so I hope Discovery-Search have seen it and that it hasn't unexpectedly affected their research. I would be very reticent to turn this functionality off before knowing that multilingual search has indeed improved beyond this being necessary.

It's stopped working again...

Thanks @Ladsgroup for the chat at Wikimania. Following up on our conversation (sorry for the delay), from the perspective of the Wikidata Infobox on Commons:
Thanks, just to confirm, it's working nicely again now.

Explaining it to the user would definitely be an improvement. Respecting blocks is important though, although it's not obvious when it's still allowed to have access despite the VPN block and then not be able to do certain things without explaination.

Aug 11 2023
(Edited task description accordingly, I hope that helps.)
Although, I can thank people on enwiki (and just did so), so maybe the VPN isn't the only cause... Odd!
Also not there with another account with clean settings, in a private window. I definitely suspect my VPN as being the cause now, though!
Ah - I'm connected with NordVPN at the moment (traveling), perhaps it's auto-disabled on that?
Yup. Will check with another login...

I've replied at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Wikidata_Infobox#Category%3AUses_of_Wikidata_Infobox - of all possible aspects of increased server load caused by the Infobox, category inclusion was the least of my worries! It can be reconfigured if needed, though.
Jul 23 2023
I'm not sure what's changed, but it seems to be working again now?
Jul 20 2023
Jul 19 2023
Hmm, or not, it stopped again. Very odd.
Hmm, perhaps that was it? It seems to be working OK again now.
It seems to have stopped working again in the last hour, but at a different point of the process. You can enter votes, and you see "1 pending review confirmations" - but 'Confirm reviews' doesn't work. Did something change in the last hour?
Jul 12 2023
Thank you so much, that seems to have fixed it!
This possibly broke QICvote on Commons - please have a look at T341736.
Jun 14 2023
Sorry for the delay, 412 photos now uploaded at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikimedia_Hackathon_Athens_2023 - let me know if there's any problems with any of them!
Still happening. "The MediaWiki error backend-fail-internal occured: An unknown error occurred in storage backend "local-swift-eqiad"."
Jun 9 2023
Thanks, the behaviour does seem to have changed to be correct now.

Thanks for publishing it! :-)

Adding Edward, chatting to him at the Hackathon he may have useful input here. :-)

Do you (or could you) support Cite Q through this tool? Also see T289287.
May 15 2023
Sorry for the belated response. The process of getting the geoshape is described at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Kartographer#Via_Wikidata_ID - it works in reverse from the usual setup, you have the Wikidata QID on the OSM feature, and Kartographer somehow manages to query for that and pull the shape over to display it. (It's not stored on Wikidata since OSM IDs aren't stable.)

I plan on taking photos during the event and uploading them to Commons, would be happy to also take photos on request.
