[04:03:27] Yea (re @wmtelegram_bot: @gopavasanth: are you attending the hackathon to work on that task?) [06:57:56] I like this idea, but it would also be great if you could have an all purpose search for files with fewer than 3 categories uploaded by a selection of users (cough) who tend to under categorize their uploaded images. I find myself regularly using Google image search (which is increasingly less useful) for finding images on commons that I think are there. It’s only [06:57:57] after I give [06:57:57] up and upload one that I find the culprits, because the file isn’t exactly the same.

[07:18:01] For this use case, CommonsDB will likely be of help. See for example the demo video I made at the Hackathon in Arnhem in this blog post https://diff.wikimedia.org/2026/03/28/commonsdb-making-progress-at-the-wikimedia-hackathon-northwestern-europe/ (re @Jane023: I like this idea, but it would also be great if you could have an all purpose search for files with [07:18:02] fewer than 3 categories uplo...) [07:51:34] That looks very useful! As you know, I am talking about paintings here, and I am often looking for paintings based on old low resolution black & white images from old catalogs but which have gorgeous full color versions on commons already. Google image search used to be pretty good at this, but has sadly degraded over the years. (re @Jan_ainali: For this use case, [07:51:34] CommonsDB will [07:51:35] likely be of help.

[07:54:08] Thumbnail to full resolution is no problem, but I am not sure if black and white thumbnail to full resolution would match. I'll experiment a bit and get back to you.

[09:31:57] 🌶 *The Chilli Challenge Returns – Wikimania Hackathon 2026, Milan!* 🌶 [09:31:57] After an incredible response in previous years… [09:31:59] The heat is back for ****! 🔥🌍🇮🇹 [09:32:00] So far, my global chilli collection includes varieties from: [09:32:02] 🇮🇳 India | 🇳🇵 Nepal | 🇩🇪 Germany | 🇲🇽 Mexico | 🇺🇿 Uzbekistan | 🇵🇭 Philippines | 🇲🇾 Malaysia | 🇮🇩 Indonesia | 🇵🇪 Peru | 🇰🇪 Kenya | 🇵🇹 Portugal [09:32:03] Can *Italy* or your region bring the next level of spice? 🌶💪 [09:32:05] 👨‍🌾 I’m a chilli grower (and proud plant parent 🌱). [09:32:06] I collect dried or fresh chillies from around the world, grow them from seed to fruit, and document the entire journey on *Wikimedia Commons*. [09:32:08] ✈️ I collect *whole dried or fresh chillies only* *(no seeds — airlines usually don’t allow them).* [09:32:09] If asked, they’re for personal food use — and they truly are! I love cooking with global heat. 🍛🔥 [09:32:11] 🙏 If possible, bring *2 pieces each of 2 different varieties* — it helps with cross-pollination and seed diversity. [09:32:12] Let’s make *Wikimania Hackathon 2026* the spiciest one yet! 🌍🔥 [09:32:14] Who’s ready to represent their country? [09:32:15] 🌟 *Hobby Exchange – Back at Wikimania Hackathon 2026!* 🌟 [09:32:17] Along with chillies, I also collect: [09:32:18] 🏨 Smart hotel key cards *(even expired ones)* [09:32:20] 🚇 Metro/local train smart cards [09:32:21] 🗺 City-specific train/metro maps [09:32:23] ☎️ Telephone smart cards [09:32:24] These are often free — just ask politely at hotels or metro stations. [09:32:26] 📌 I only collect items that are freely shared — *no paid souvenirs please* 😊 [09:32:27] Wikimania is not just about sessions — it’s about connections, cultures, and shared passions. [09:32:29] Let’s grow, collect, exchange, and celebrate together in *Milan 2026*! 🎉🌱🇮🇹 [09:55:08] Milan is not Wikimania. [09:55:54] Wikimedia not wikimania ops (re @dwivedi_suyash: 🌶 The Chilli Challenge Returns – Wikimania Hackathon 2026, Milan! 🌶 [09:55:54] After an incredible response in previous years… [09:55:56] The heat is...) [09:56:45] @Jane023 would something like this be useful? It's an old demo that searches on ~200k paintings from ArtUK [09:57:04] you can search by describing the painting or by uploading an image [10:19:51] Why does this feel like AI slop? (re @dwivedi_suyash: 🌶 The Chilli Challenge Returns – Wikimania Hackathon 2026, Milan! 🌶 [10:19:51] After an incredible response in previous years… [10:19:53] The heat is...) [10:22:16] @Jane023 I never included the link https://meru.robots.ox.ac.uk/wise/artsearch/ [10:34:56] All the emojis? [10:34:57] (The actual content is likely genuine since it's been done in previous events and results has been reported.) (re @Leaderboard: Why does this feel like AI slop?) [11:17:42] Correct (re @giovi_pen: Wikimedia not wikimania ops) [11:28:13] Sorry bout the way I wrote the 'call for collection' [11:44:35] https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VG68HSD3gCE (re @Jan_ainali: All the emojis? [11:44:36] (The actual content is likely genuine since it's been done in previous events and results has been reported.)) [15:29:48] I’m starting to put my presentation slides together, and… will people be sad if I don’t use the official template? (the one from [[Wikimedia Hackathon 2026/Program#How to conduct your session and/or workshop]]) [15:30:02] I just keep looking at the example slides and thinking “that’s not a lot of space for content” :/ [15:31:23] (maybe s/don’t use/deviate from/ the official template) [18:22:05] well it's an unconference... (re @lucaswerkmeister: I’m starting to put my presentation slides together, and… will people be sad if I don’t use the official template? (the one from...) [18:23:08] I personally did not see it as a requirement to use the template, more of a 'they're here if you want to use them!' [18:23:09] if using a different format makes your life easier, have at it! [23:47:26] https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q139505150
