Bug ID: 69286 Summary: harvest_template should ignore placeholder images Product: Pywikibot Version: core (2.0) Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: Unprioritized Component: Wikidata Assignee: Pywikipedia-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: jan.dudik@gmail.com Web browser: --- Mobile Platform: ---
When importing images with harvest_template.py, there are often various placeholder images. Bot shouldn't import them
[[c:Category:Image_placeholders]]
Usually there are few images in one group of articles, so parameter -ignore:file:placeholder.svg,file:placeholder2.svg should help.
Better is to check, if bot checks image categories for these strings:
placeholders, 'SVG flags of missing', ' Replace this image', 'Fully transparent images' ..
