@Arne and experts:
We can overwrite a file with GWToolset provided no other user has edited
the file. Perhaps experts are aware of further options with GWT for
overwriting files.
Examples:
1. GWToolset overwriting with a different resolution succeeded for
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Naturalis_Biodiversity_Center_-_RMN…
checking the box "Reload media from URL" down the page. The new resolution
is considered a new version. (Here a downgrade as a test.) The old version
remains available.
2. GWToolset overwriting failed for
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Naturalis_Biodiversity_Center_-
>> _RMNH.MOL.216649_-_Mitra_aurantia_aurantia_%28Gmelin,_1791%29_-_Mitrida
>> e_-_Mollusc_shell.jpeg
with or without that box checked because
"A media file with the identical title "File:Naturalis Biodiversity
Center - RMNH.MOL.216649 - Mitra aurantia aurantia (Gmelin, 1791) -
Mitridae - Mollusc shell.jpeg" already exists in the wiki. It was edited
or created by someone other than you"
- another user had edited the categories.

Hi all,
Museum Catharijneconvent has approached us that they would like to make
higher-resolution versions available of images that are already available
on Commons. Around 800-1500 images are involved.
Is this something that can be handled by the GW toolset, or are there
better ways to do this?
Best,
Arne Wossink

We published a learning pattern in english and german with a focus on the

So about a week ago, there was a thread about tiff files not working
as well as they should. Here's a status update:
The good news:
The 16-bit greyscale tiff files not rendering bug (T116947) is now
fixed and the fix is live on commons. This affected a lot of images
from the library of congress. Previously they showed up as either all
black, or mostly white with a couple black lines. Now they work.
The more meh news:
We've identified a fix for the issue where pages after the first page
of a large tiff do not render (T117349). This is a good step forward,
but the fix is currently stuck pending review and I'm not sure what
time frame the fix will be reviewed in.
Tiff (and djvu) files on the beta cluster do not render (T116816). The
people who maintain the beta cluster have put it on their list of next
things to do. So hopefully it will be fixed soon. In the mean time, if
you really need to see what a tiff would look like uploaded but don't
want to put it in real commons, you can use test.wikipedia.org (but
alas, gwtoolset does not work in that domain)

p.s. Fun fact that might interest the Basel University Library folks -
If you order all the tiffs on commons by file size, 18 of the top 20
are from Basel University Library.
