Hi all,
As you may know, there are several tools overseen by the WLM international
team for Wiki Loves -like contests. While I myself stepped down from the
team a while back, 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 ==
https://wikiloves.toolforge.org/monuments/2024
Data is refreshed every 15 minutes.
If you want to know more about the tool, please see
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tool:Wikiloves
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://wikiloves.toolforge.org/monuments/2024/Norway
* A sorted table of all uploaders, their upload count (as part of the
competition) and file usage, and their registration date
https://wikiloves.toolforge.org/monuments/2024/Norway/users
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:

== ErfgoedBot and Monuments database ==
Some might have noticed it − ErfgoedBot had been broken since March
(GridEngine deprecation). We managed to get back and running just in time
for September 1st.
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 tasks is categorization. Unfortunately, the bot’s
work is slowed down by going over and over thousands of images it can't
figure out how to categorize.

→ it would be great if humans could have a look at the images left in

== 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/i18nhttps://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,
--
