New 404 file - advice?[edit]

I found an image with a 404 error in place of original file. Interestingly, the bug causing 404's was closed in 2014, but this image is dated 2018.

  • Is it a new Mediawiki bug to be filed?
  • What to do with the file?
    • Speedy delete as broken, unused, uncategorized
    • Keep as harmless
  • What to do with uploader?
    • Ignore
    • Leave a talk page message (the user is inactive since 2018)
    • Try to contact via VRT, maybe?

So, any advice on how to proceed? - Gabuxae (talk) 17:57, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Remove background from images[edit]

Hello everyone, from Commons:Help desk I was referred to Commons:Graphic Lab, and I think I can make my request here? Recently I uploaded six images of statues:

In the background you can clearly see wires of the railroad behind them. My question is if someone could remove these wires and then also make the background transparent. I have tried it with several free tools on the internet, but either it doesn't work or the quality is lost. I would like the images to be uploaded as new versions of the files. So not as new files, but as replacements (jpg format). I would be happy to hear if anyone would like to do this for me! Kind regards, S. Perquin (talk) 19:14, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@S. Perquin: I understand the issue. I think the best place to make this request is at the Commons:Graphic Lab/Photography workshop. Good luck, kind editor! RCraig09 (talk) 20:38, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! I'll go there! Kind regards, S. Perquin (talk) 20:45, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cannot upload amended SVG file[edit]

Hi, I exported a graph from Libre Office Calc. It was not until I had uploaded the file that I noticed the y-axis legend text had failed to be exported.

I was able to edit the SVG, and get the file saved with *.odg extension. I was able to use an online website to convert the file to a SVG file.

Unfortunately, I am now unable to upload the revised file. I can view it okay in Libre Office Draw, but I am getting the following error message:

This file contains HTML or script code that may be erroneously interpreted by a web browser. See the FAQ for more information.

Please can someone advise how I can overcome this, and get the second version of the svg file uploaded. Thanks in advance. Keith H99 (talk) 20:10, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Try to export from Draw directly into SVG - Gabuxae (talk) 08:47, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, this has now worked. Keith H99 (talk) 09:52, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
