Yesterday afternoon we batch uploaded 100 wildlife sound files (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wildlife_Sounds_in_the_British_L...) ahead of an edit-a-thon with Europeana happening next week (November 7th): http://www.europeanasounds.eu/event/british-wildlife-recordings-edit-a-thon-...
I don't see any errors in the Special:Log with it but only 12 have loaded so far in the last 24 hours, is this typical of sound files? If it is I'll just leave it and not worry about it but just want to make sure that they will work their way through the system in time for the event. Is there any other way for me to confirm/check on the status of them waiting in the queue?
Thanks so much for all your help!
Best,
Nora McGregor British Library @ndalyrose

By this, I mean that you can't view the fullsize TIFF within the viewer or browser, while other formats work as you might expect.

Oddly enough, vips scalar was the problem here. There used to be a bug that causes that, its been fixed now (for a long time now), but the old version was cached. If you see any images that are almost entirely white with a bit of black around the edges, do ?action=purge to the image description page.
However there appears to be a second bug ( https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T116947 ). Rendering the file in sizes less then 2523px seems to be broken.

thanks - non-render size up to 50 MP which should get most images in use
but there are still some larger " Error creating thumbnail: Invalid thumbnail parameters or TIFF file with more than 50 MP "

There shouldn't be (anymore). Do you have any examples of files with that error?
There are a few (I mean few as in probably less than 10 over all of commons) tiff files that don't render that I am aware of, but they don't have that error and instead just time out.

Hi Nora,
Definitely not typical. Seeing the filesize it should go much faster. It looks as if your upload stalled after record 11 https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=gwtoolset&user=Ndalyrose&page=&year=&month=-1&tagfilter=&uselang=nl. Some people on this list can probably look to see whether the rest is still pending. But if I were you I would simply use the same xml (if there are no issues with record 12 and onward) and retry the upload once more. The toolset wil skip the files that are already uploaded, and hopefully continue, it has happened to me before :-).
Something I noticed: only 6 of the files appear in the category you mentioned. Did you add this category as a 'global category' in the toolset?
But there might be other people on the list that can help you better.
Best! Jesse
