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.

Very nice! A big thank you for your continued efforts in improving our multimedia support. :-)

Dear all,
It seems GWToolSet stopped uploading yesterday 25 nov 2015 15:36? After a few weeks of continuous uploading of Naturalis images (1200/day) my upload came to a halt (or pause?), see
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&limit=500&am...
**What can be done?
Thanks, best regards,

A test with just 15 records succeeded, so i'll just resubmit the remainder of the halted job.

hi, nice upload
have you considered how you want to transcribe your data into a database or text format?
i don't know if this has been done on wiki, but for example see the Smithsonian transcription project (off wiki) https://transcription.si.edu/project/6950
i will raise the issue at wikisource.

The XML input is hidden in the image pages (even parts not displayed on the output page). These could be datamined for wikidata or external use, even if the uploader does not have the time or experience to do it themselves...
Maybe worth discussing on a wikidata noticeboard? :-)

Since November 23 i have not been able to upload much with GWToolset.
When no files were uploaded in more than 24 hours (or 48 hours) i assumed a job was cancelled. Not so. I did a (too) small test which went well and resubmitted my jobs of molluscs from Naturalis Museum. This apparently made things worse:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&limit=500&am...
There was some hopeful activity on December 4, showing that all jobs were still present and a few hundred images were uploaded. I also did short runs with only 5 records: those went well.
Since then GWTset seems stuck again as far as my jobs are concerned.
* What is the underlying cause and what can be done?

It looks like ori was modifying the job queue backend yesterday. Might be related, but the timing doesnt quite match up, so might be total coincidence. (In other words, i have no idea about the cause)
