I'm having some trouble when uploading multiple
photos at the same time, as
the photos thumbnails aren't appearing after the upload. That forces me to
fill the pictures data (IDs, names, etc.) without seeing the corresponding
images, which is difficult if pictures for multiple monuments were uploaded.
Is this normal? Someone else has had this problem?
No, it's not normal; it's a bug with thumbnail generation on the
cluster. See
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39975 if
you're interested in the technical details.
The gist is this: This bug appears if you're using a browser that
doesn't support client-side thumbnail generation (e.g. IE) or if
you're uploading a batch that's greater than 10MB in total size.
We're investigating. WMF is having its all-staff meetings this week
but Wednesday is a hack day, so I'm hoping we can carve out some time
to look into this then.
