Hey there,

We are using a bot to upload images to a wiki. It would seem that when we decide to upload a “new version” of a particular file (importing a new file over an existing file), mediawiki keeps the original “Comments” (Categories and the like…) that were specified in the original upload, even if new categories were specified in the latest upload. See the following link for what I mean:

http://terdzod.tsadra.org/index.php/File:RTZ-Tsagli-KA-02-kar_gling_zhi_khro...

Notice that the latest upload had a Category:Tsaglis added to it. But somehow that category isn’t enabled or active.

Any clues? Any default setting in MW that keeps the original comments? Can it be changed? Or does it probably have to do with the custom bot we’re using?

Thanks so much,

https://htmlsig.com/t/000001C1QAGY

Hi Jeremi,

no, your bot has not change the page content itself[1]. The page content still contains the content of the first revision, see [2].

You have only provided a comment what have changed in the image, not a new page content.

Regards,

Dennis

Ok thanks. So it seems that the bot actually doesn’t overwrite any page content. Because we have used the bot to create pages and in those cases it does edit the page itself. It’s basically not set to overwrite page content somehow. That’s what i’m understanding anyways. Thanks https://htmlsig.com/t/000001C1QAGY
