Overwriting possible if file not edited by other users Re: Same user? Re: Yes Re: Batch re-uploading images to Commons in higher resolution?
by Hans Muller 18 Dec '15

@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.

Batch re-uploading images to Commons in higher resolution?
by Arne Wossink 17 Dec '15

17 Dec '15

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 Projectleider / Project Lead Wikimedia Nederland Tel. +31 (0)6 11000505 *Postadres*: * Bezoekadres:* Postbus 167 Mariaplaats 3 3500 AD Utrecht Utrecht

Beta GWToolset request
by Martin Poulter 15 Dec '15

15 Dec '15

Hi all. In accordance with the instructions at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:GWToolset#Username_.26_user_r… , I'd like to be given the Beta GWToolset user rights so as to carry out testing of bulk imports from the Digital Bodleian as part of my residency at the Bodleian Libraries. My unified login for the Wikimedia projects is MartinPoulter. The images each have a permanent URL which redirects to a server where they are currently located, so the two domains I'd like whitelisted are http://iiif.bodleian.ox.ac.uk<http://iiif.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/iiif/image/4a53ccf2-53c2-46d1-98a2-cd6f679e9c…> and http://digital.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/ An example query: http://iiif.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/iiif/image/4a53ccf2-53c2-46d1-98a2-cd6f679e9c… is a permanent URL which links to http://digital.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/fcgi-bin/iipsrv.fcgi?IIIF=/silos/digital.b… Thanks in advance for any help,

Update on the status of tiff rendering bugs (Was TIFF error when using Bulk Uploader)
by Brian Wolff 08 Dec '15

08 Dec '15

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) -- -bawolff 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.
