msm blood donation map

hey! could you update File:MSM Blood Donation Map New.svg to make belgium yellow based on the new guidelines? thx —mountainhead / ? 12:25, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

@Mountainhead: do you perhaps have a source for me on the new guidelines? The only one I could find was this article (a reference in en:Men who have sex with men blood donor controversy), but according to Google Translate that only talks about future plans to change the legislation. --Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 20:17, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

Hybridization of AC/DC and VisualFileChange

It'll be great to take file selection functionality from MediaWiki:Gadget-VisualFileChange.js. Or may be, even better, to merge AC/DC into it, so VisualFileChange would operated with textual descriptions and structured data. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 01:59, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi, im Zusammenhang mit der Medienspende des HR versuche ich gerade, etwas aufzuräumen bei den Tonaufnahmen, die wir schon haben (denn es sind zwar wenige, aber doch mehr, als man denkt). Dazu würde ich gern die Category:Audio files of the Creation by Joseph Haydn aufteilen in Category:Audio files of the Creation by Joseph Haydn (Dalal, 2010) und Category:Audio files of the Creation by Joseph Haydn (Marketvitch, 1958).

formatiert bekommst, ist QuickCategories ein nützliches Werkzeug zum Umkategorisieren. (Anstelle des Senkrechtstrichs | ist auch ein Tab erlaubt, daher funktioniert die Methode, die Liste direkt aus einem Spreadsheet zu kopieren, so gut.) --Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 22:09, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Code issues in MediaWiki:Gadget-fastcci.js

Hi Lucas Werkmeister, I am a bored bot (this is kind of a computer program) that is watching the recent changes and tapping buttons like I did now.

Curious about the reason? Possibly not but I will tell you anyway:

1. You edited MediaWiki:Gadget-fastcci.js. Thank you for caring about Wikimedia Commons's javascript pages.
2. Though, that change appears to introduce 1 new jshint issue — the page's status is now having warnings.
3. To help you understanding where the issues are, I have aggregated a report here and now. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask users experienced in javascript writing for help. But do not ask the bot's operators (chronically overwrought) unless you suspect an error of mine.

@F. Riedelio: Hm, bin mir nicht sicher, woran das liegen könnte… gibt es denn irgendwelche Fehlermeldung in der Konsole? (Die englische Wikipedia hat dazu unter w:WP:JSERROR Anweisungen, die ganz nützlich aussehen – weiß nicht, ob es die auch auf Deutsch gibt. Relevant wäre besonders Schritt 6.) --Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 18:35, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

@Lucas Werkmeister: Vielen Dank für die Antwort.

Offensichtlich handelt es sich um einen sporadischen Fehler. Heute wird der AC/DC-Link wieder angezeigt. Bei erneutem Auftreten werde ich mich wieder melden.

Hierbei ist mir noch folgender Fehler aufgefallen:

Wenn ich im AC/DC-Fenster eine Aussage hinzufügen will (z. B. P571), dann kann ich in der Dropdown-Liste die Genauigkeit (z. B. Jahrhundert) auswählen. Beim anklicken wird diese Liste aber im Hintergrund angezeigt und ich kann die Genauigkeit nicht auswählen. Leider weiß ich nicht wie man hier einen Screenshot einfügen kann, um das besser verständlich zu machen.

Assistance requested

Hello! I just wanted to say thank you for your help at Template:PD-USGov-Military, it’s much appreciated! I added an archived link to show where the old seal originated from. I do have another request: I am trying to update Template:PD-USGov-USDA’s logo to the agency’s seal to match all of the other US Cabinet agencies but can’t figure out the template. Do you know how and if so, can you explain it to me, please?

I’m tempted to update it (along with a majority of the PD-USGov templates) to match Template:PD-USGov-HHS’s layout as most of the templates haven’t been updated since 2009 or 2010 and it’s much easier for template editors/admin to edit should they need to. What’s your thoughts? Should I discuss is somewhere before making the layout changes? Thanks, Corky 06:10, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

@Corkythehornetfan Probably worth bringing it up somewhere but I have no idea where would be the right place, to be honest. Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 20:03, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Need your input on a policy impacting gadgets and UserJS

Dear interface administrator,

This is Samuel from the Security team and I hope my message finds you well.

There is an ongoing discussion on a proposed policy governing the use of external resources in gadgets and UserJS. The proposed Third-party resources policy aims at making the UserJS and Gadgets landscape a bit safer by encouraging best practices around external resources. After an initial non-public conversation with a small number of interface admins and staff, we've launched a much larger, public consultation to get a wider pool of feedback for improving the policy proposal. Based on the ideas received so far, the proposed policy now includes some of the risks related to user scripts and gadgets loading third-party resources, best practices for gadgets and UserJS developers, and exemptions requirements such as code transparency and inspectability.

As an interface administrator, your feedback and suggestions are warmly welcome until July 17, 2023 on the policy talk page.

Have a great day!

Samuel (WMF), on behalf of the Foundation's Security team 23:02, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Das sollte das Gadget wieder zum Laufen bringen wie zuvor. Meiner Ansicht nach müsste man sich das aber zusätzlich noch genauer ansehen. Würdest Du das tun? Ich würde dann an der technical Village pump etwas dazu schreiben, kurz: Gadget sollte doch laut Code Z.19+21 auch außerhalb von Kategorien funktionieren, tut es aber nicht, nur Bilder werden einzeln aufgeschlüsselt. — Speravir – 00:11, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello Lucas - I'm writing because you edited this template recently. Is there any chance that you can action this request to remove the requirement for a publication date?

AC/DC

I have been playing with AC/DC and found a category with over 2,000 entries (Category:British Rail Class 43s of Great Western Railway (First Group)) AC/DC does not like this very much. It has to load every image before I get the depicts box. On Safari it has been loading the category for about an hour now. I closed the box, loaded it again and now it is frozen. No contributions are happening on my account.

Last night I set it running and it stopped with an error. When it restarted it didn't do anything. I know this is not a good error report but if you play with AC/DC on the massive category you'll see what I mean. Secretlondon (talk) 14:24, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

And now AC/DC has gone from my commons toolbar so maybe I killed it ;) Secretlondon (talk) 14:28, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

Safari on OSX 12.6 Secretlondon (talk) 15:43, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

I’ve reverted my changes, it turns out they broke the gadget in general (I guess when I tested it immediately after saving, the old code was still cached). Sorry about that. Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 16:14, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

@Secretlondon: I think I’ve managed to fix the problem properly – does it work for you now? Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 16:26, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

it works now - thank you. Secretlondon (talk) 16:34, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

If it does it again would a detailed error and behaviour be useful anyway? Secretlondon (talk) 19:06, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

@Mrmw: Sollte jetzt behoben sein. Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 14:46, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

hmmm, erst mal danke für die rückmeldung

was wurde denn an der infobox verändert? in der datenspalte, als in der rechten fehlen die optischen zeilentrenner, die vermisse ich, oder täusche ich mich und die gabs vorher auch nicht?

zum eigentlichen thema, dem äußeren rahmen um die infobox, das wurde für die vorschau nur teilweise behoben

in der vorschau per schaltfläche ist er nun zu sehen, aber nicht in der live-vorschau im editor-fenster

dort ist er erst zu sehen, wenn ich mir einmal die vorschau per schaltfläche habe anzeigen lassen, initial fehlt er dort --Mrmw (talk) 05:46, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Idealerweise sollte sich absolut nichts sichtbares verändert haben, außer dass die Anzahl der Einbindungen von Module:Information/styles.css auf Special:MostTranscludedPages runtergeht. Das mit der Live-Vorschau hat Krinkle auf Phabricator auch schon bemerkt und eine bessere Lösung vorgeschlagen, für die ich eben auch einen Patch hochgeladen habe.

Cat-a-lot failing - could you solve this?

I saw you made a change on MediaWiki:Gadget-Cat-a-lot.js. Can you fix another problem on Cat-a-log as well? Ever since February it does not work for categories with subctegories. See for instance Cat-a-lot failing 202402 and Commons:Village pump/Technical#Cat-a-lot still doesn't work well (with links to earlier requests to solve this issue). JopkeB (talk) 04:03, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

@JopkeB: I don’t think so, sorry… I’ve just been fulfilling edit requests. I don’t know Cat-a-lot’s code at all (I don’t even use the gadget myself), so I have no idea why it doesn’t work or what one would have to change to make it work. If someone else can figure it out (probably by copying the code to a user script and then tinkering with it there), I can apply the resulting fix to the gadget once it’s ready. Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 20:29, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

OK, thanks for your reply. JopkeB (talk) 04:25, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

OAuth application

Wondering if you could approve this application for OAuth.[1]

We are building a tool to simplify adding arrows to images on Commons.[2] Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 10:22, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

@Doc James: I don't think so, sorry – I only have OAuth privileges on the beta cluster (AFAIK). Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 10:33, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Okay who has OAuth privileges here? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 10:37, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

In my experience the OAuth admins are usually pretty fast to review requests, but you could also use {{oauthapprequest}} on meta:Steward requests/Miscellaneous. Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 13:49, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

FYI It seems broken on Firefox. Prototyperspective (talk) 10:36, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

User:Prototyperspective Works fine for me on Firefox and Chrome. What sort of extensions do you have running? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 10:39, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

It works only after changing the default of Privacy Badger to block only cookies but not domain "uicdn.toast.com". If you'd like to make it more accessible, I guess try to replace how much that domain is used (or remove it) or try changing this default Privacy Badger setting. Other than that this would be a thing to put in the FAQ for those who have this addon since it usually never causes any problems like that. Prototyperspective (talk) 10:48, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

First step is to get it functional. And then yes a FAQ around Privacy Badger blocking functionality will be required. Not sure if it is possible to remove this domain and for it to still work. Will look. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 10:52, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

You should load those styles from toolforge:cdnjs instead (tui-image-editor.css is identical, though I assume you could also use tui-image-editor.min.css instead) – third-party resources are generally not allowed on Wikimedia Cloud Services. Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 13:47, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

User:Prototyperspective Hassan said they have fixed the issue. Let me know if it works better now. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:18, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Great, yes it does, thanks. Prototyperspective (talk) 14:18, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

AC DC publish button

Example

Hello I am not sure if its only on my side, or this is for all AC/DC users but is there a reason why on my side "process" button have colors of Asexual Flag? I checked github and there is no changes except chromedriver, so I was supprised with this change. Not that I protest - as long as its a11y and works is fine for me. But I am asking because its not typical change in software. PMG (talk) 13:07, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Favor to ask

Hi, I have a couple of Outreachy-related tasks that need to be solved. The first one involves my proposal that Outreachy candidates could develop Cat-a-lot in Beta Commons, which would require howto documentation (phab: T389317). However, the Beta Commons abuse filter rules were so strict that the user who was writing the documentation was immediately blocked as a new user adding external links to a user page. Would it be possible for you to unblock Adiba_anjum3 and add Adiba to the autoconfirmed user group in Beta Commons?

Second question is that another candidate created a proposal for fixing Cat-a-lot Max-height bug with one-line CSS-change. If you could implement the edit request ? (edit request is here) --Zache (talk) 17:23, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

striking as Beta commons thing is solved and the edit request can be handled through normal speed. --Zache (talk) 18:25, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

Cat-a-lot merge requests

Hi, as there are quite many different merge requests from the Outreachy contribution period to Cat-a-lot, I started to collect them on a Commons page.

• Help:Gadget-Cat-a-lot/merge requests 2025

As I expect that you are the most prominent person to actually implement the merging to official code, I would like to ask if the list works for you and if there is something that should be addressed more to make the review+merge process more straightforward, or does this work for you as it is? --Zache (talk) 19:46, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

@Zache: The page could be useful, but the requests should still be tagged with {{Edit request}} – as you can tell, I’m not always the fastest to respond ;)

But I wonder what the best way to go about this is. Edit requests, at least the way I use them (which is to watch the category and get “added to category” events in the watchlist), have the problem that additional edit requests on a page are less visible (because adding a second edit request to the page won’t add it to the category again). This is often not a problem, but it’s sometimes an issue with e.g. MediaWiki talk:Copyupload-allowed-domains, and it would affect Cat-a-lot too. I wonder if it would be useful to have one subpage per Outreachy Cat-a-lot edit request? (They could still be transcluded elsewhere.) Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 18:56, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

There is now version in MediaWiki_talk:Gadget-Cat-a-lot.js which have all bugfixes from Outreachy contributions period. Currently user:Don-vip is testing it and if there is no issues then it could be at some point merge to all users. --Zache (talk) 10:55, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

I use the test version a lot everyday, and until now I have not seen any issue :) vip (talk) 16:51, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

I’ll take a look but it might take a moment :) Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 15:28, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

I was wondering about the status of the merging :) I know you're busy, and the merge request is long, so reviewing it thoroughly (beyond just checking that the code doesn't contain anything directly harmful) is time-consuming. Even so, it would be nice to have the changes merged—not just T395770, but later also the changes made during the internship period—before Outreachy ends at the end of August. From a technical perspective, merging and handling potential breakages is something I can do myself as well, so I was thinking that I could apply for admin rights to Commons and see how it goes. Note: We're currently making changes based on Peli's feedback about T395770, so merging isn't urgent right now. However, I think I should apply for adminship now if I want it to be ready by August. --Zache (talk) 12:31, 18 July 2025 (UTC)

Sorry, I haven’t gotten around to reviewing the code yet. I can try to take a look now, though I guess with the ongoing discussion I won’t make any edits yet. Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 13:06, 19 July 2025 (UTC)

Yes, I think it is a good idea to wait and include fixes for the issues that Peli described, even though the majority of them were actually new findings and not regressions from T395770. In any case, thank you for merging the HotCat change. --Zache (talk) 05:29, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

I think that it is ready for an update. It includes the fixes @Peli reported, and they have been in testing for some time now. There were some changes four days ago, but they were either opt-in or restored the original behavior. I expect that there will be new comments and feedback related to UI changes when it goes live, and I am ready to update the code based on those. --Zache (talk) 08:11, 13 August 2025 (UTC)

Alright, I looked at the JS code and it mostly looks okay to me – if you can respond to the comments I left there, we can probably deploy the new version soon! Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 18:29, 17 August 2025 (UTC)

(JFTR, I haven’t tried the new code at all, I’m relying on you and the other testers there ^^ I’m just checking the code to see if I notice any bugs or vulnerabilities.) Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 18:30, 17 August 2025 (UTC)

Current issues with ACDC

Hello

Current state of ACDC - without fields for properties that should be loaded from configuration from commons.js

Current build of ACDC have issues. I asked @Msz2001 and he prepared PR for you with fix. Can you, please, consider merging and deploying fix? Its semi-blocker for me - maybe its possible to put every time correct properties, but they should be loaded from configuration (and are not). PMG (talk) 21:03, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

Mark structured data edits as minor

Hello As you some time ago added comment to T265573 - do you think that there is any chance that this will be implemented? Because its really big problem for people coming to me. PMG (talk) 15:23, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

I don’t think it’s likely to happen soon, to be honest :/ it would require a new parameter in the relevant Wikibase APIs, as well as UX work to figure out how it’s going to be made available to the user (a checkbox somewhere in the SDC UI? user preference to mark all SDC edits as minor?) and then some more development to wire it all up in WikibaseMediaInfo. I don’t know how would be likely to work on that… Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 08:19, 9 August 2025 (UTC)

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Commons:Rollback. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. Abzeronow (talk) 02:04, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

Adiutor CSD signing issue

Hi Lucas,

I noticed Adiutor doesn't sign messages on user talk pages when sending CSD notifications.

The problem is in MediaWiki:Gadget-Adiutor-CSD.js:

var message = '{{subst:Speedynote|' + mwConfig.wgPageName.replace(/_/g, " ") + '|' + SaltCSDSummary + '}}';

Could you change it to:

Freigabe realistisch?

Gute Nachmittag!

Ich bin im Austausch mit einem Mitarbeiter des BR bezüglich des Transfers von Kolleg24-Videos auf Commons. In vorherigen Gesprächen wurde der Transfer via OpenRefine erörtert. Hierfür wird geprüft, eine BR-Webseite einzurichten. Meine Frage: Wenn eine Webseite des BR gehostet wird, wäre dann ein Domain-Whitelisting machbar? Der Hinweis der CC-Lizenz ist auf einer Webseite bereits vorhanden. Danke und liebe Grüße! --PantheraLeo1359531 😺 (talk) 13:40, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

Hm, könnte grenzwertig sein weil die Mehrheit der Medien auf der BR-Webseite ja mutmaßlich weiterhin nicht unter CC-Lizenzen stehen wird… aber poste doch mal den Request auf der Allowlist-Talkseite ^^ Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 20:02, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

Hallo Lucas, Ich habe dich versucht auf Commons:Forum#Annotation_weg anzupingen, aber du hast nicht reagiert. Kannst du uns helfen dan Annotations Tool wieder herzustellen. Seit dem Skinwechsel funktioniert das Tool nicht mehr. Danke.--Sanandros (talk) 16:44, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Monuments 2026 - Deutschland

Hallo Lucas Werkmeister,

Sieger 2025 – Festhalle Frankfurt

bald ist es soweit: Vom 1. bis zum 30. September 2026 findet zum 16. Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments (WLM) statt. Dabei können Bau-, Boden- und Kulturdenkmale fotografiert und die Fotos hochgeladen werden. Du hast an einem der vergangenen Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen. Deshalb laden wir dich gern wieder ein, dieses Jahr mitzumachen. Wir freuen uns auf deine Fotos!

Vergangenes Jahr hat Martin Kraft mit einer symmetrischen Innenaufnahme der Festhalle Frankfurt gewonnen. Welcher Fotograf oder welche Fotografin tritt dieses Jahr die Nachfolge an?

Nach WLM 2025 sind wieder zahlreiche neue Denkmallisten entstanden – zum Beispiel in Varel-Land in Niedersachsen – oder wurden umfangreich erweitert – wie Göttingen oder Osnabrück in Niedersachsen oder Tambach-Dietharz und Hörsel in Thüringen. Nachdem es in Baden-Württemberg über lange Zeit sehr wenige Kulturdenkmallisten gab, gibt es jetzt dort für jede Gemeinde und jede Stadt eine Kulturdenkmalliste. All diese Listen freuen sich über Fotos. Hier findest du einen Einstieg in die Baden-Württemberger Listen.

Für die Suche nach Motiven gibt es bei Wikipedia zahlreiche Listen und Karten. Als Einstieg hilft diese Übersichtsseite. Weitere Informationen erhältst du auf der Mitmach-Seite.

Für das einfache Auffinden haben wir eine Upload-Karte erstellt, in der viele, aber leider noch nicht alle Kulturdenkmale angezeigt werden können. Das Laden der Objekte dauert dort etwas.

Wir haben dieses Jahr drei Sonderpreise für Bilder zum Thema „Gastronomie und Lebensmittelhandwerk – Orte des Genusses“ ausgelobt.

Außerdem gibt es drei Sonderpreise für hochgeladene Scans von alten Aufnahmen. Dafür darfst du auch Fotos hochladen, die nicht von dir erstellt sind.

Damit es ab 1. September mit dem Upload schnell geht:

Upload your photos via the new Upload-Map 

Upload your photos for the special price 

Upload your photos for the special price 

Außerdem laden wir Dich ein, ab Anfang September 2026 an der Vorjury teilzunehmen. Diese bewertet die hochgeladenen Bilder und ermittelt so gemeinsam mit der Jury, die Anfang November tagen wird, die Sieger von Wiki Loves Monuments 2026 in Deutschland. Das Vorjurytool ist hier bald freigeschaltet. Du benötigst dafür nur deinen Benutzernamen und das Passwort.

Vorjury-Tool 

Es gibt dieses Jahr eine Änderung. Von jedem Uploader kommen nur 50 Bilder durch die Vorjury. Damit soll erreicht werden, dass viele Bilder unterschiedlicher Fotografen der Hauptjury vorgelegt werden. Wir möchten natürlich trotzdem viele Bilder auch von demselben Motiv aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln erhalten. Nutze die Möglichkeit, hochgeladene Bilder von der Bewertung durch die Vorjury auszuschließen. Damit unterstützt du den Wettbewerb mit vielen Motiven und entlastest die Vorjury. Weitere Infos gibt es hier.

Für Fragen steht das Organisationsteam gerne auf der Support-Seite zur Verfügung. Falls du im nächsten Jahr keine Einladung für Wiki Loves Monuments Deutschland haben möchtest, trag dich bitte hier ein. Wir würden das natürlich schade finden, da wir uns auf deine Fotos freuen.

Viel Spaß und Erfolg beim größten Fotowettbewerb wünscht dir im Namen des Organisationsteams --Z ^thomas 17:34, 27 August 2026 (UTC)
