Javascript magic
by Brianna Laugher 19 Nov '06

19 Nov '06

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could either write user Javascript to do this, or tell me if it's possible. Have it so that every Category: page inserts __NOGALLERY__ for that user, ie. they see text links instead of images, when they look at categories. It would probably be a lot more useful if there was a way to turn it off again at specific times for specific categories, eg. if there was a link somewhere like 'view this category' (what everyone else is doing by default) Any thoughts?

Commons delinker bot
by Marco Schuster 19 Nov '06

Hello. Good news: the bot is working. Bad news: It seems as if I need to have a flagged account on all wikis according to bot rules :-(. So this will take some time to create accs on all 660 wikis :-p (and even more to let them get flagged -.-) Regards, Marco

There is no need for delinking.Linking alike thoughts is a difficult task.I was wonderstruck to read about the book"How Language Works"by David Crystal,and when will a nation like"Bharat"own its rightful National Language.It's a secular nation with many languages.Main languages that work,are "English and Hindi"both being non-secular. "Sanskrit"is secular and most suitable for Bharat to achieve Nationhood India can be a name of a country,where English and Hindi are spoken. But Bharat can be the name of a Nation with Sanskrit as its National Language.It is sixty years since its indepedence,and National Pride is slowly disappearing from its cityzen because of lack of one language. David Crystal knows the value of Sanskrit language so do many.Community at large should accept valuable thoughts for its peaceful LIVING.

Commons != kindergarden
by Artur Fijałkowski 18 Nov '06

>From some time I've observed very strange thing: Most of uploaded on commons copyvios is made by users who has spanish-like nicks, write in looking in this manner language, etc. Because I see very large time coincidence with closing upload on es.wiki, I have (I hope) very good method of solving that: I'm going to ban every user who will look like from es.wiki to me, without any warning after first upload. Maybe than complains of such users will force them to open upload :) AJF/WarX

A guide for projects to turning off local uploads
by Brianna Laugher 18 Nov '06

18 Nov '06

Hello, With the recent discussion about the es.wp and pt.wp decisions to turn off local uploads and use Commons only, I wonder if a page like this might be useful for the future? http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pfctdayelise/Preparing_your_project_… Comments & additions welcome as usual, especially from the Spanish Wikipedia community, who might be able to comment on what works and what doesn't, and other necessary steps. BTW I am really happy to see the enthusiastic response from the discussions, we now have four new native Spanish speaking admin candidates, and one native Portugese speaking (not to mention two English, as well :)). They all seem like excellent candidates who are very keen to help. I certainly hope that at least a few will stick around after the initial euphoria of a new sysop bit wears off. :) regards, Brianna user:pfctdayelise

Fwd: Commons needs patrollers and future admins
by David Gerard 17 Nov '06

17 Nov '06

I just sent this to wikien-l asking for helpers. Presumably there are tags, etc. for non-admin patrollers to tag suspect images. Something like this posted to other language Wikipedias would be a good idea, I suspect. - d. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: David Gerard <dgerard(a)gmail.com> Date: 14-Nov-2006 20:12 Subject: Commons needs patrollers and future admins To: English Wikipedia <wikien-l(a)wikipedia.org> Commons is currently suffering a problem of a metric shitload of rubbish and copyvios, and not enough admins to do the cleanup work. Can anyone here help? Patrollers who speak multiple languages are particularly valuable in this regard, but I expect anyone good would be reasonably welcome once they can show a reasonable amount of work on Commons itself. Spanish and Portuguese speakers are particularly encouraged at present, because es: and pt: only allow image uploads directly to Commons. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Administrators#Suggestions_for_ad… (I whined enough about it on commons-l myself that I'll be diving into shitwork on Commons soon as well ...) - d.

Principles of organisation - who do we serve?
by bawolff 15 Nov '06

Perhaps have some sort of optional field in the registration form, that says: I come from this wiki project. and if they fill it out, a bot will copy automatic deletion notices over there too. If they come to commons:special:userlogin/create_account (or whatever the link is) from another wiki well logged in, this part of the form can be passed with get arguments e.g http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/special:userlogin?from=user:enwiki of course single user login is a better solution, but I see that happening a long time form now (If it ever happens) -bawolff On 11/10/06, Platonides <Platonides(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > could set up welcome notices which include asking people to provide a > > link to thier home project in a certian format. > > > > -- > > geni > > Won't work.
