Urgent

Would someone please explain what is going on here? The bot has done the same thing with many files which were uploaded as part of Commons:Wiki Loves Emirates today and it is causing trouble for us. I've reverted some edits made by the bot on some files but I fear some are still missing and I'm unable to find them. --Saqib (talk) 10:54, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

I'm checking this. --Schlurcher (talk) 19:30, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

I checked the daily batch, and there are no other ones (I made some changes to the module yesterday; I not sure yet what caused the problem). There are a bunch more in Category:Uploaded via Campaign:monuments-ro. I'll fix this later today. Will not happen again. --Schlurcher (talk) 19:47, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Found the mistake. Sorry for the inconvinience. I manually and programmatically fixed all mistakes. --Schlurcher (talk) 21:58, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

 Done --Schlurcher (talk) 21:58, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

"auteur" should be replace by another template

Hello,

"auteur" in the source of files should be replaced by {{Author source}} not {{Own}}.

Aktuell stattfindende Umbennung meiner Dateien

Hi Schlurcher, dein Bot macht den sinnlosen Namen der auf der Disc war von der ich meine 2016/17-Fotos hochgeladen habe, anstatt den Wunsch-Bezeichnungen, offiziell, kannst du das bitte korrigieren?! Danke--Ricardalovesmonuments (talk) 19:22, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Ein einzelnes Space rauslöschen, das im Wikitext keinerlei Wirkung hat? Was soll das bringen? --Anvilaquarius (talk) 07:17, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Ich mache sowas nur für Kategorien. Mittlerweile werden fast alle Kategorien in Commons durch externe Tools eingefügt. Leider sind nicht alle diese Tools sind einwandfrei programmiert. Einige erkennen nur Kategorien, die einzeln in einer Zeile (mit einem direkt gefolgtem Zeilenumbruch) angebracht sind. Siehe: COM:REGEX: These are mainly to improve machine-readability when performing other category work. --Schlurcher (talk) 17:56, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Bot going against consensus

I strenuously object to the following: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Cherry_laurel_in_flower,_Meadowbrook,_Seattle,_Washington_-_02.jpg&diff=413936217&oldid=413854663 This has been discussed before. Changes like this repeatedly lead to misattribution when a different user creates derivative works. I find this completely unacceptable with reference to my own photos. Bots should not be doing things on which there is not general agreement.

I will be reverting these changes. Please do not make them again, unless it is your specific intent that I stop uploading my original work directly to Commons. It is absurd that when I first upload to a different site, Commons will clearly attribute me as a source, while actions like this amount to a refusal to extend the same courtesy if I upload here first. Jmabel ! talk 16:11, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I will stop these edits. These changes have the benefit that the data on your contribution will be correctly reflected in structured data, so down the road there are some other benefits. I think, if you want proper attribution, you should use the attribution parameter within the information template, not the source parameter. Still, I'll start a discussion before re-instating these changes again. --Schlurcher (talk) 17:17, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

I use the attribution parameter within the information template. And I've still had cases, back before I was doing this, of being misattributed because people assumed that the uploader of a derivative work was the author.

I see no partcular value to me or to Commons in structured data reflecting that the uploader of the photo was the same person as the photographer, which is the only possible gain from the change you were making. I see definite value to me in being clearly indicated as the source of the photo. - Jmabel ! talk 20:52, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

automatically adding claims based on file information: date source creator copyright license

I believe, there is an error in this function. Can you please check this edit? In the Point Wikimedia username, it added my username. But if I click on it, it brings me to this, where the spaces/underlines in the username are changed to +. -- Lord van Tasm @ de:WP (talk) 08:23, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I do not think this is a direct issue with the bot, but more with the function that generates the CentralAuth link in the backend. This tool does not seem to handle spaces correctly. One way for my bot to get the link fixed would be to exchange spaces with underscores in this author field. However, this will lead to other complaints that I have manipulated their user name, which I consider worse. So I would rather like the field to be fixed instead, which would mean my edits can stay as they are. Until this is fixed, I have deactivated all processing of authors with spaces in them to avoid this unanticipated behavior. --Schlurcher (talk) 18:02, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

@Lord van Tasm: Ich laube diese Änderung auf Wikidata (https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Property:P4174&diff=prev&oldid=1170173494) hat das Problem gelöst. Jetzt wird dein Benutzername wieder korrekt aufgelöst. Könntest du das bitte kurz überprüfen? Danke sehr. --Schlurcher (talk) 05:27, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Revisions have been made to four of my pictures (here's an example: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Biarritz%E2%80%94View_from_Esplanade_Elisabeth_II.jpg). The revisions state "(‎Changed an entity: automatically adding claims based on file information: date coordinate source copyright license)." Being only an occasional contributor to Wikimedia, I do not understand this jargon. Could you please explain and indicate exactly what have been the revisions. Thanks in advance.Nicolas G. Mertens (talk) 06:25, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

@Nicolas G. Mertens: Commons started to adopt structured data. Please see Commons:SDC for an overview. If you go to your files, you will see an additional tab that is called structured data. Information in this tab is meant to be machine readable. Basically what my bot does is to transfer the information stored in the description of you pictures into this structured data format. Currently my bot works on all files that are marked as own work and where the uploader is equal to the author. --Schlurcher (talk) 09:02, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

OK. Got it. Thank you.Nicolas G. Mertens (talk) 10:18, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Date accuracy

I notice that on File:Båthus Västra Simskäla.jpg you gave P571 the value +2008-10-01T00:00:00Z based on "date=2008-10". The photo was not taken on 1 October, but later that month. Please don't introduce fake accuracy. I don't remember the property of the date to be added, but you should make clear in the structured data any uncertainty in the information template or free text description.

I don't know whether you use also "from EXIF" dates, if you do, you should retain also that statement of uncertainty.

(And I don't see any notion in the structured data on from where the information was fetched. Shouldn't that info be added?)

--LPfi (talk) 07:53, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Oops. That was exactly what you did. I don't know how I succeeded in missing it. --LPfi (talk) 08:22, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment. Currently the bot is only handling ISO dates with a precision of day, month or year. The correct precision should also be added to the structured data. Currently the bot ignores dates with additional qualifiers like from EXIF. Once we have an agreed way to model them, then I will include them in the scope of the bot. Please remain vigilant and report any potential issues you might see. Please consider to report on my talk page, so I get ping notifications (but obviously, I also monitor this page) --Schlurcher (talk) 20:10, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Not inception but publication

1909 is not the inception date as here. It is the publication date. This item was previously published, so 1909 cannot be the inception date. --EncycloPetey (talk) 15:14, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, the bot simply copies the data parameter. Regarding your point, we would have to add the date context to the file as well. I've done so now. --Schlurcher (talk) 14:42, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

"Inception" is not the date of the image creation/upload

"Inception" applies to the object/subject depicted. Not the image itself. See here for an example of an incorrect edit by your bot. Cherkash (talk) 01:54, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Edit seems fine. Please see Commons:Structured data/Modeling/Date and therein: The most relevant property to Commons is inception (P571), which is equivalent to date field in {{Information}} template, and which should be used for storing the time

• photograph was taken,
• document created,
• painting or other artwork completed. --Schlurcher (talk) 17:21, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

It says in the description of the "inception" element: "date or point in time when the subject came into existence as defined". My understanding of the "subject" is different than yours: it's not the image itself, but rather what the image portrays. Cherkash (talk) 00:55, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

@Schlurcher: : Your bot keeps applying the "inception" incorrectly. Please fix it or stop altogether. Some recent examples: [1], [2]. Cherkash (talk) 23:59, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

@Cherkash: Thank you for your comments. I have reviewed the edits you highlighted again and they are in line with my understanding of Commons:Structured data/Modeling/Date. Please also note that Commons is a media repository, so generally the object is the digital media file itself. Please also note that neither the bot nor me as the bot owner have developed how we model the date parameter, the bot is only implementing the community consensus given in Commons:Structured data/Modeling/Date, which was established after intensive discussions within the community. During that time it was acknowledged that different wikidata items might be suitable to store the generation date of a media file, and one was ultimately selected. I also understand that you have uploaded the files to commons and at this time gave them a time when then were created. The same date is then moved to the structured data by the bot. If you disagree with the date in the structured data, then you should also disagree with the date on the media file. In this case, please correct the data parameter on your pictures uploaded accordingly. The bot will then transfer the corrected date to the structured data tab. If you disagree with the modelling in general, please start a discussion on Commons talk:Structured data/Modeling/Date and ask the community for input. --Schlurcher (talk) 12:40, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Inception means what exactly

On File:Ascarina_polystachya.jpg and File:Ascarina rubricaulis.jpg you've marked a "date of inception". While the photographs were taken on that date, the specimens pictured are much older. The inception date refers only to the image, not to the object pictured. Does Commons have a way to clarify what the "inception" refers to in this case? --EncycloPetey (talk) 01:52, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Please see Commons:Structured data/Modeling/Date. As commons is a media repository, the date would normally refer to the image, not to the object pictured. A common exception is the case of exact reproductions (like a foto of a painting), the date of inception would apply to the painting. --Schlurcher (talk) 10:05, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Data claims

Hi Schlurcher,

I came across this edit. I was curious, what do you base your assumption of the timezone on? If I had to guess, I would say that this image was actually made in CEST (+02:00). Now it is rather a harmless error (because the precision is not only 1 day, but also rather irrelevant), but I am more in general cautious about adding statements that are not more than a guess... But maybe you found this someplace that I totally overlooked. Otherwise I would suggest for the future to skip the timezone if possible. Effeietsanders (talk) 16:54, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi! Please note that this is an automatic script and what it does is that it transferes the date parameter in the information template to the structured data. During the approval of the task it was brought up that the bot should handle only up to a precision of date due to the timezone difficulty. So you will find that all my additions will have a precision of maximum 1 day, not less. --Schlurcher (talk) 17:03, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi! I realize it is a script. I still don't understand why you're declaring the timezone property, rather than skipping it. Maybe I'm overlooking something. Effeietsanders (talk) 17:44, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Creators with a Wikidata item

Hello. I come to you after I stumbled upon this edit. It happens that there is a Wikidata item about me – Thierry Caro (Q55468017). Many other Commons uploaders who are otherwise Wikipedia contributors with scientific publications are in the same situation. Would you be able to have your bot check this and add the relevant statement when possible? I think author name string (P2093) would maybe not be necessary anymore then. Thierry Caro (talk) 11:25, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi! The same topic was brought up on my talk page User talk:Schlurcher. The issue I have is to make a reliable connection between the author and the Wikidata item. I'm happy to hear suggestions. --Schlurcher (talk) 19:46, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I would not say that the dates are incorrect, but I agree that they did not reflect the aspect the date applies to. Please have a look at the changes I made. I hope they reflect the original intention. --Schlurcher (talk) 11:46, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

Geo coordinates twice

Please do not add coordinate location (P625) if there is already coordinates of the point of view (P1259). Thank you. --XRay ^talk 05:38, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, your bot handles object location, not Location. I didn't remember my images with both location and object location. I'm not sure, object location may be not neccassery. It should be part of the object and should be located in Wikidata. Otherwise it would be redundant. --XRay ^talk 07:06, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

1905 date twice

There was already a publication date: 1905. I suppose the map was also created in 1905 (or updated). Once is sufficient.Smiley.toerist (talk) 13:58, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi! The expectation is that structured data will be used in searches and other computer-aided summaries. For these it is beneficial to have the date information stored in the same property. --Schlurcher (talk) 20:28, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

Gregorian date before the 16th century

In this edit, you added the creation date of 1478 in the Gregorian calendar. The Gregorian calendar has not yet been invented by then, this date is clearly Julian. As any date before 1918 may be in Julian calendar, probably you shouldn’t add date information to them; the vast majority of Commons files is from the last hundred years anyway. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 10:38, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. I have fixed this and any year prior to 1499 will be added a Julian calendar date. 1500-1599 will not be touched. --Schlurcher (talk) 14:45, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

@Schlurcher: Thanks for the change, but this is not only about the 16th century. The Gregorian calendar was first adopted in 1582 by some Catholic countries (so years 1500–1581 are still certainly Julian), but Russia adopted it only after the October Revolution, in 1918; and Greece did so as late as 1923, so years 1600–1923 are also unreliable (see w:List of adoption dates of the Gregorian calendar per country). —Tacsipacsi (talk) 23:43, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

Frage

Warum bezeichnet der Bot seit heute die Kameraposition in den Bildbeschreibungen als zusätzliche Objektposition? Ändern ist langweilig :-( --Arnoldius (talk) 23:32, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Der Bot kennzeichnet getrennt die Kameraposition und die Position des im Bild abgebildeten Objekts. Ich würde mich über einen Link über die genaue Bearbeitung freuen, dann kann ich mir das genauer ansehen. --Schlurcher (talk) 18:06, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Hier war es mir aufgefallen (25. Januar 2021):

23:21 File:Herne Mulvany-Villa.jpg‎ UnterschiedVersionen −7‎ Arnoldius Diskussion Beiträge →‎Summary: Die Aufnahmeposition ist die Location und Objektlokalisation ist die Villa und nicht das Gebäude dahinter

23:21 File:Herne-Wanne 3-Männer-Eck.JPG‎ UnterschiedVersionen −7‎ Arnoldius Diskussion Beiträge Der Bot unterscheidet nicht zwischen Kamera- und Objektposition - ich will das nicht bei allen meinen Fotos ändern müssen!

22:56 File:Herne Hölkeskampring 162.jpg‎ UnterschiedVersionen −7‎ Arnoldius Diskussion Beiträge →‎Summary: Location ist nicht Objektposition

Herzlichen Dank für die schnelle Rückmeldung --Arnoldius (talk) 01:32, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

Der Bot unterscheidet zwischen Kameraposition {{Location}} und Objektposition {{Object location}}. Zuvor enthielten die Bilder zwei Objektpositionen, welches nach dem Bot edit von dir korrigiert wurde, beispielsweise: [3] [4]. Der Bot wird die Strukturierten Daten entsprechend korrigieren, wenn der Bot die Bilder ein zweites Mal überprüft. Das kann momentan aber dauern. --Schlurcher (talk) 06:24, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

Removal of leading zeroes in heading parameter

Please don't remove leading zeroes from coordinate heading parameters, as you did here, as it is unnecessary. Leading zeroes are commonly used in these circumstances, and are recognised by the toolforge geohack page. Removing the zeroes makes it difficult for other databases to sort them. Thanks. O Still Small Voice of Clam 08:30, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I'm removing the leading zeros, as they impact the migration to Commons:SDC, thus it is not unnecessary. Do you have an actual example of a database that cannot perform numerical sort? Besides, the vast majority of headings are without leading zeros. --Schlurcher (talk) 10:33, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

See page 2 of [5], which states "In practice, leading zeros are included, and degree symbols omitted, when quoting bearings". I have a personal Excel spreadheet of all my files, which I maintain as a database., and extracts the headings from photos when I've incorporated them. It is also the format created by the Geolocator tool. O Still Small Voice of Clam 11:07, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you propose as a solution is viable. Are you suggesting that we should adjust on-wiki tools to allow for leading zeros and then update more than 1 Million files? --Schlurcher (talk) 12:12, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

Leave all files unchanged. It's not causing any problems, except apparently for your bot. O Still Small Voice of Clam 12:36, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

My bot is fine handling leading zeros, that was not my point: The Commons:SDC api is not accepting them and thus the files will be flagged as mismatches. Thus, to resolve discrepancies there is no other solution than to correct the wiki-text. It also makes them consistent with other files. --Schlurcher (talk) 12:51, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

Then there is clearly a fault with the SDC api. As I said, the use of leading zeroes is preferred in coordinate systems. Is it not possible for your bot to strip the zero off when adding the data to Wikidata, or whatever it is, and leave the original file unchanged? O Still Small Voice of Clam 13:38, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

That's what I am doing in the process of adding to structured data, but then they do not match any more and get flagged as mismatching to structured data. --Schlurcher (talk) 14:25, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

Coorindate toggle

Hi Schlurcher, your bot seems to toggle, it adds and removes coordinates as for example here. Maybe, you wanna have a look at it. Thanks, --Arnd (talk) 13:13, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Arnd, yes, that's intended. Over the last couple of months there has been a discussion to replace coordinate location (P625). The primary argument was that it generated ambiguity for paintings, if it refers to the location of the painting or the location of the object in the painting. Yesterday it was agreed to make a new property coordinates of depicted place (P9149) and connect this to {{Object location}}. My bot is not actively phasing out this template, but will make updates as necessary as they come across. --Schlurcher (talk) 15:25, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Jacques Villeneuve Spanish Gp 2001 pictures.

Hello, I uploaded a photo from Flickr with the author's permission, however, Wikimedia tells me it will soon be deleted, due to the license that does not allow sharing. So I contacted the owner of the photo and asked him the courtesy to change the license, from "All right reserved" to "Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Generic license".

(I hope I did well ...)

If you give me some time before deleting the file, I am convinced that the license will change. This is the link of the discussion I had with him ... https://www.flickr.com/photos/formula1fans/8968618537 Best Regards Roberto d'Angiò (talk) 08:12, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

File:Gasparo Martellini - Portrait of Maria Caroline Augusta of Habsburg-Lorraine, Princess of Tuscany (?).png.webp

Hello!, I'm MariaAmaliaduchessadiParma, but if you want you can simply call me Maria Amalia, good morning. I noticed that you are very familiar with Wikimedia Commons and I wanted to ask you, only if possible, if you could rename the file: Gasparo Martellini - Portrait of Maria Caroline Augusta of Habsburg-Lorraine, Princess of Tuscany (?). png.webp. The last part, where I inserted .webp, is a mistake and I would like it to be deleted. Thus the file became: Gasparo Martellini - Portrait of Maria Caroline Augusta of Habsburg-Lorraine, Princess of Tuscany (?). png, thank you very much in advance.

Best regards.

Very poor markup

This edit is very poor indeed. Is the subject of the inception value the image, or the railway station? If the former, inception seems a weird value to use for date of publication. Bottom line: your bot is adding at best ambiguous, at worst nonsense values. Please make it stop. --Tagishsimon (talk) 15:34, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi, the edit is as intended. Please see Commons:Structured data/Modeling/Date for background. --Schlurcher (talk) 19:21, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

I see. It's still bad. It was created in 1893 and published in 1895, and says this in the descriptive text associated with the image. So incept would be 1893 [6]. Your bot chose 1895. (infact, your bot chose 1896, which was my typo, but the principle is the same.) --Tagishsimon (talk) 22:32, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi! I think this also highlights that the general {{Information}}-Template is not suitable to model these kind of cases. I tried now to switch to the content specific {{Map}}-Informationtemplate. It allows for a date and print_date parameter, but displays only one (for reasons that I do not know now). Maybe this is a way to move forward here. In addition, for now my bot ignores {{Map}} as the correct modelling there is under discussion. --Schlurcher (talk) 15:43, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

Date created is not the same as date posted

File:Marseille Le Chateau d'If postcard.jpg The robot automaticaly adds a creation date in SD, when it sees any date. However in this the case the date is a posted date, not a creation date. The picture could haven been taken years before the postcard was send. The robot script should have a cutout, when it is a postcard or the property 'date posted is used'.Smiley.toerist (talk) 22:31, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your suggestion. The bot does not add any date it sees. This is also a shortcoming of the general information template used. I think this should better be solved with a quantifier to the creation date. --Schlurcher (talk) 14:39, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Author name string "null"

Hi SchlurcherBot. On some images the SDoC Author name string is filled with "null", while similar images have the correct value. Compare File:Keukenhof, Lisse - Holland (Nederland) (25982218800).jpg (null) and File:Keukenhof, Lisse - Holland NL (26205767951).jpg (with a prover value). These files are similar, and all processed on the same day. What might have caused the "null" value is that the Bot added the SDoC date in the same minute that the file was created. This query shows there are more than 6000 files with a "null" value. Can you check and/or prevent this from happening? HenkvD (talk) 10:04, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for brining this to my attention. The proper value was added by BotMultichillT, not by my bot. So this seem to be a structural issue with my code. I expect that there is some issue with the special characters used in this author name. Once I have identified the issue, I will also fix the 6000 or so from your query. Thanks! --Schlurcher (talk) 10:11, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

I've found the core issue. I will remove the incorrect author information over the next couple of days as well. --Schlurcher (talk) 14:56, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your quick reply, your fix and also for recovering the 6000 cases. HenkvD (talk) 08:37, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. I've stopped all these edits until I have a chance to look into this. My code has not changed, so there might be an API change or bug that caused this. Schlurcher (talk) 22:50, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

I found the issue. The wikimedia API changed their return value. Originally they gave ISO dates, now they give the English verbal date. That totally threw by bot off. The issue occurred from 2DEC2021 till 17DEC2021. I've fixed the errors. The database dumps will take another couple of days to refresh then I will check all additions of dates in this corridor again.

Ask bot to prioritize SDC creation for a file?

Hello, is there a way to ask the bot to prioritize the SDC creation for a file?
For example, I'd like to use {{Art Photo}} on File:Lusterware bowl - Kashan - 12th-13th century - IMJ 77-031-1038.jpeg. But once it is used SDC won't be created by any bot any more I think, so I'd like to ask a bot to do it before. Is there any way to influence the queue of SchlurcherBot that way for non-operating users? Thanks a lot in advance and best, --Marsupium (talk) 08:03, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

There is no direct way to influence the bot's selections of files. If you send me a list of file names, I can prioritize them. Currently the modelling of {{Art Photo}} is not fully worked out, so it is intentional that this is not worked on by my bot. It might be better to wait for this than add some SDC now which might need to be changed later again. --Schlurcher (talk) 20:13, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

audio/ogg

The bot has mistakenly labeled a host of audio files as "application/ogg" see here. These are audio files of the pronunciation of words, and should be labelled "audio/ogg". Any file I uploaded with the prefix "En-us-" or "La-cls-" is an audio file. --EncycloPetey (talk) 22:40, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for brining this up. So far, I take the information from the MediaWiki API, which classifies your file es "application/ogg" see: [7]. However, if I download the file and assess it mit xdg-mime in Linux, it returns "audio/ogg". Let me look a bit more into this. If you have additional info, please let me know. --Schlurcher (talk) 09:06, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Error message after bot action

I get the error message "Lua error in Module:DateI18n at line 113: attempt to index field 'data' (a nil value)." with this file. Also the description has disappeared. Does SchlurcherBot repair that itself or should I reverse the change? Wouter (talk) 12:24, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

@Wouterhagens: Could you please confirm that this still persists (after a force refresh of the cache)? I've seen similar errors in almost all files earlier today. It seems someone messed up one of the functions or sub-functions of Module:DateI18n. For me it seems the true issue was resolved or reverted already, so no action is required. --Schlurcher (talk) 12:30, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Checksum

not sure if someone has asked this.

i suppose checksum would change whenever a new version is uploaded?

does your bot then update sdc accordingly? RZuo (talk) 13:21, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

Yes it would. The ultimate goal would be to have the upload script update SDC automatically. There are multiple feature requests for this. But SDC development is not fast. --Schlurcher (talk) 20:25, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I have a question to this bot edit: what happens if there is a new file upload to this page? Will SchlurcherBot change these data (checksum, data size, height, width) again and again? And when comes the bot to change the data? Thank you, – Doc Taxon • Talk • 14:50, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Yes, that is the plan. However, currently the focus is on adding SDC. Please note that the ultimate plan is to have the upload functionality perform all SDC additions and updates, not a bot, but these development updates will take more time. --Schlurcher (talk) 07:35, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
