Hi all,

As many of you know, there are several tools overseen by the WLM international team for Wiki Loves -like contests. While I myself stepped down from the team, I wanted to send a (belated) quick reminder of some tools that are available.

Note that these are not all the tools available around WLM, only the ones that I (co-)maintain(ed) :)

== Statistics tools ==

See https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikiloves/monuments/2023. Data is refreshed every 15 minutes.

If you want to know more about the tool, please see < https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tool:Wikiloves%3E

The tool, beyond the “country race”, provides each competition with: * A day-to-day table of image uploads and joiners (uploader who uploaded their first image on that day). < https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikiloves/monuments/2023/Ireland%3E * A sorted table of all uploaders, their upload count (as part of the competition) and file usage, and their registration date < https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikiloves/monuments/2023/Ireland/users%3E

These two views may be helpful to gauge the health of your competition

If you notice any issue with the tool (bug, data missing, etc.), please file a task on Phabricator: < https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?projects=tool-....

== ErfgoedBot and Monuments database ==

Some might have noticed it − ErfgoedBot had been broken since April (following a Toolforge database upgrade). We managed to get back and running a week ago.

For more information on the services provided by ErfgoedBot (categorization, maintenance reports, etc.), please see the documentation on Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database

One of the most relevant task is the categorization (described at < https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database/Categorization...) − as far as I can see based on the bot edits, it seems to be working fine. Unfortunately, the bot’s work is slowed down by going over and over thousands of images it can't figure out how to categorize.

→ I might add more countries to the skiplist to not penalize the other countries → it would be great if humans could have a look at the images left in https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database/Categorization...

== Notification to uploaders without email enabled ==

Every three minutes, ErfgoedBot retrieves the list of users who uploaded, in the last few minutes, pictures marked as participating to WLM. If an uploader has not enabled e-mail, the bot leaves a message on their talk page explaining that it is necessary to win a prize (unless it has already notified that user).

You can help translating the message in more languages at: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:WLM-enable-email/i18n https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:WLM-enable-email/heading/i18n

We hope that this will help to avoid situations of winning pictures with no email enabled, only detected much later when the uploader is not around anymore.

Hope this all helps,
