2019-01-16 15:50:17 <wm-bot> Technical Advice IRC meeting starting in 10 minutes in channel #wikimedia-tech, hosts: @addshore & @CFisch_WMDE - all questions welcome, more infos: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_Advice_IRC_Meeting
2019-01-16 15:54:54 <bd808> CFisch_WMDE: Do you have access to the config that is broadcasting the TAIM messages via wm-bot? We removed the token enforcement in #wikimedia-cloud, so the postings there look like "<wm-bot> KPADSIBIJSWJREDMAQUIMNJKNJJHLCQNEEPGSNWJ Technical Advice IRC meeting starting ...". That "KP..." string just needs to be removed from the message sent to mw-bot for that channel.
2019-01-16 15:55:42 <TenPiolodiusz> [1997kB]: on Polish Wikipedia https://imgur.com/lgnBIZe and on English Wikipedia https://imgur.com/pZfubOG

2019-01-16 16:07:26 <CFisch_WMDE> Anyone having any questions in the realm of the Technical Advice IRC Meeting? :-)
2019-01-16 16:07:27 <addshore> \o CFisch_WMDE sorry
2019-01-16 16:07:30 <addshore> forgot I was hosting this one :D
2019-01-16 16:07:30 <CFisch_WMDE> np
2019-01-16 16:07:34 <CFisch_WMDE> hehe
2019-01-16 16:07:42 <addshore> *reads up*
2019-01-16 16:08:18 <The_Photographer> CFisch_WMDE: Yes, Why commons not let me upload a file tiff > than 600 Mb?
2019-01-16 16:08:20 <addshore> bd808: file a ticket? :) we can get it seen to!
2019-01-16 16:09:26 <addshore> The_Photographer: what size file are you trying to upload?
2019-01-16 16:09:45 <addshore> and via which upload mechanism ?
2019-01-16 16:09:45 <The_Photographer> I am working on several projects with the help of local museums, however, it has been impossible to upload the files
2019-01-16 16:09:51 <CFisch_WMDE> The_Photographer: there are some limits I know of
2019-01-16 16:10:08 <addshore> The limits are documented at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Maximum_file_size
2019-01-16 16:10:13 <The_Photographer> addshore: that exactly https://archive.org/download/SacreCoeurDeJesusByLouisJobin1878/Sacre%20Coeur%20de%20Jesus%20by%20Louis%20Jobin%201878.tif
2019-01-16 16:10:13 <CFisch_WMDE> addshore: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T212101
2019-01-16 16:10:23 <addshore> CFisch_WMDE: amazing
2019-01-16 16:12:03 <The_Photographer> CFisch_WMDE: yes but the files we are trying to upload comply with the limit, in fact they are 10 times smaller than the higher limit
2019-01-16 16:13:36 <deryckchan> Hello Tech IRC hour. Is Source Goat there?
2019-01-16 16:13:40 <addshore> It is probably best to keep and eye and some pressure on the ticket, I don't think it will be able to be solved in this our, but tgr seems to be following the ticket and I expect he knows much more about the issue than I
2019-01-16 16:14:09 <addshore> *bleat* << deryckchan
2019-01-16 16:14:47 <deryckchan> Hi addshore! Good to see you here. I seem to see you online everywhere this week - Wikidata, WMUK, Tech IRC
2019-01-16 16:15:11 <The_Photographer> deryckchan: Wikimedia Commons too
2019-01-16 16:15:21 <addshore> deryckchan: keep this secret to yourself, but there are actually 10 of me ;)
2019-01-16 16:15:34 <addshore> we all live in a big crazy house
2019-01-16 16:15:47 <deryckchan> will do << addshore
2019-01-16 16:16:05 <James_F> Surely everyone has seen the drama "The Real House Lives Of Addshore"?
2019-01-16 16:16:17 <The_Photographer> like full house tv serie
2019-01-16 16:16:18 <CFisch_WMDE> ^^'
2019-01-16 16:16:42 <deryckchan> ^^""
2019-01-16 16:17:14 <deryckchan> Anyway I've got a tech question - Is it possible to transclude Lexeme data on other WMF wikis (e.g. Wiktionary) yet?
2019-01-16 16:18:33 <addshore> deryckchan: no, unless I missed something
2019-01-16 16:18:35 <addshore> :D
2019-01-16 16:19:02 <addshore> I'm not even sure there is a phabricator ticket for that
2019-01-16 16:19:27 <addshore> https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/search/query/S_7Eg71PDD4N/#R nope
2019-01-16 16:20:54 <tgr> addshore: that task needs some serious debugging (or someone with a better grasp on upload DB logic than me), it's caused by lock timeouts and since only the same user could lock the row and it's unlikely that multiple tools would mess up chunked uploading and send multiple chunks at the same time, something strange must be happening there
2019-01-16 16:21:32 <addshore> The_Photographer: ^^
2019-01-16 16:21:35 <tgr> I plan to look into it when I have free time, if its urgent you should probably find someone from the multimedia team though
2019-01-16 16:22:34 <The_Photographer> :)
2019-01-16 16:22:46 <The_Photographer> tgr: thanks soo much
2019-01-16 16:24:35 <The_Photographer> If the issue of TIFF is too complicated, I am open to changing the format, however, TIFF is the only one with no loss of quality available in commons, In fact, channels in TIFF files can be in any IEEE 754 floating-point format too, including the 128 bit one, for 384 bits (48 bytes) per pixel in the RGB, YCbCr and CIE Lab* formats and 512 bits (64 bytes) per pixel in the CMYK format. Same applies to any alpha channel
2019-01-16 16:24:49 <The_Photographer> *lossless
2019-01-16 16:30:30 <The_Photographer> anyway, thanks tgr for follow this ticket
2019-01-16 16:31:10 <CFisch_WMDE> Sooo anyone else with a question at hand?
2019-01-16 16:31:11 <tgr> The_Photographer: it's a DB-level error so not obviously related to anything other than image size
2019-01-16 16:31:17 <The_Photographer> deryckchan: just to put you in context, the ticket that we speak is https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T212101
2019-01-16 16:31:56 <deryckchan> Thank you The_Photographer
2019-01-16 16:36:45 <deryckchan> Can I squeeze in with another question - now that we have "captions" turned on for Commons, is there any plan to mass-migrate existing filedesc content to captions?
2019-01-16 16:37:10 <deryckchan> And if I'm uploading a new file, should I be typing the caption into file description or the new caption field?
2019-01-16 16:40:53 <andre__> deryckchan: #wikimedia-multimedia might know
2019-01-16 16:41:37 <CFisch_WMDE> Maybe even addshore might know, but since we're only the tech guys I am not sure if we can answer at least the 2nd question
2019-01-16 16:42:04 <addshore> deryckchan: James_F also might know :)
2019-01-16 16:42:08 <CFisch_WMDE> I'm pretty sure there's no plan to mass-migrate though
2019-01-16 16:42:14 <addshore> (and he said something in here not too long ago)
2019-01-16 16:42:54 <James_F> deryckchan: We at the Foundation are writing software. It's up to the Commons community to decide how to use it.
2019-01-16 16:43:02 <addshore> [=
2019-01-16 16:43:33 <James_F> We certainly won't be mass-migrating descriptions into captions.
2019-01-16 16:43:55 <James_F> Right now UploadWizard enforces at least on description, but no captions, per the Commons community's (pre-SDC) request.
2019-01-16 16:44:11 <James_F> Obviously that could be changed, but it's a bit premature right now.
2019-01-16 16:45:36 <James_F> Apart from anything else, I imagine that the Commons community will want to wait a bit to see how things work out, decide what policies they want and how to patrol/enforce them, adjust their Information template to pull captions where descriptions are not set, and *then* think about mass-migration.
2019-01-16 16:45:40 <James_F> deryckchan: Does that answer your question?
2019-01-16 16:48:35 <deryckchan> James_F: not entirely - for new files, do you think it'll be useful to put the caption in both the caption field and filedesc? Or will that become an obstacle later on (because there will be conflicting captions to be checked)?
2019-01-16 16:49:42 <James_F> deryckchan: Again, I think that's a judgement call for the community to make, but I'd encourage use of captions now. Resolving things for 0.01% of files manually won't be the end of the world.
2019-01-16 16:50:36 <deryckchan> ok :)
2019-01-16 16:52:51 <deryckchan> I'm impressed by James_F 's confidence that manually checking 50k files will be fine...! Last year I wrote a PAWS script so a few of us migrate 50k WD qualifiers and I thought that was hard enough
2019-01-16 16:53:33 <deryckchan> addshore: I've created a phab ticket about Lexemes and subscribed you. Feel free to edit (or even unsubscribe) as you see appropriate
2019-01-16 16:53:44 <addshore> deryckchan: I saw :)
2019-01-16 16:54:48 <deryckchan> that's it from me today, thank you Source Goat and team :)
2019-01-16 17:00:21 <addshore> I think thats us!

2019-01-16 17:18:31 <Migrant> I just noticed something when I changed my userprofile at 'Special:Preferences' for the 'Internationalisation' from 'nb - norsk bokm�l' to 'en - English' i got back the possibility to edit through 'HotCat' at several wikipedias and also 'wikimedia-commons'. and could also edit in the newly implemented 'captions' at 'wikimedia-commons'. Why does this happen ? and can it be fixed ?
2019-01-16 17:19:19 <Migrant> James_F : do you have any idea ?
2019-01-16 17:23:08 <James_F> Migrant: I don't, sorry.
2019-01-16 17:44:59 <Migrant> James_F : when i changed back again to my preferred language again I kept the wider editing possibility maybe it was just something that loaded late for me
2019-01-16 17:45:51 <James_F> Migrant: Very odd. But glad it now works.
2019-01-16 17:57:22 <stjn> https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FileImporter/Data Out of curiosity: maybe these pages should be at least autoconfirmed-protected? There's not a lot of people looking after pages on MediaWiki.org
2019-01-16 18:17:01 <tgr> stjn: oh huh, that seems... unwise
2019-01-16 18:17:13 <tgr> why not put them on the affected wikis in the first place?
2019-01-16 18:17:39 <stjn> I was thinking that too, tbh
2019-01-16 18:22:02 <bawolff> I think there's a bug filed about how that's silly
2019-01-16 18:22:13 <bawolff> but then again, there's a bug for everything
2019-01-16 18:26:20 <tgr> titleblacklist can do autoconfirmed protection, right?
2019-01-16 18:26:30 <tgr> that would probably be worth setting up
2019-01-16 18:27:27 <stjn> Yeah, <noedit|autoconfirmed>.
2019-01-16 19:27:23 <Nemo_bis> Answered at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Migrant#Language_preference_and_gadgets
2019-01-16 19:37:34 <James_F> stashbot: I complained a while ago about those not being in the MediaWiki namespace for the communities to manage, but was told it was "fine".
2019-01-16 19:37:34 <stashbot> See https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tool:Stashbot for help.
2019-01-16 22:44:35 <Sagan> how can I use the API to get the article of a wiki (for example dewiki) from an wikidata item?
2019-01-16 22:45:54 <Krenair> Sagan, https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbgetentities&ids=Q1

2019-01-16 22:47:07 <Krenair> Sagan, ^
2019-01-16 22:47:14 <Sagan> Krenair, thank you very much :)
2019-01-16 22:47:32 <Krenair> FWIW I didn't know this up front, I just went to the wikidata api.php and started looking at what was available
2019-01-16 22:53:51 <Sagan> Krenair, I looked using API Sandbox, but I looked under action=query, that was my fault
2019-01-16 22:54:07 <Krenair> ah
2019-01-16 22:54:23 <Krenair> yes that would be the traditional MW way I suppose
2019-01-16 22:54:38 <Krenair> not sure how much that has been used in practice alongside ContentHandler stuff like Wikibase
2019-01-16 22:54:51 <Krenair> should be possible to implement such modules through it... hmm
2019-01-16 22:55:17 <Krenair> yeah it looks like wikibase uses it for search and stuff
