empty description

[edit]

Otherwise empty descriptions seem to create a few problems [1][2][3][4]. Maybe this is sufficient to track them. I fixed all it found. Enhancing999 (talk) 11:54, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the headsup. I updated the regex pattern. Let me know if you find other errors. I'll keep an eye on that parsing error category ;) -- DaxServer (talk) 13:11, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It seems to go quite smoothly, but there seem to be ever more than I first thought. I made a category for potential problems: [5]. Enhancing999 (talk) 14:12, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Stray text

[edit]

Just noticed that some files have a the template text all over: [6]. I can try to find and fix them after the bot run. Enhancing999 (talk) 10:48, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! The text is messing up the regex. Hopefully they're manageably low in numbers for manual corrections! -- DaxServer (talk) 10:51, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They do seem rare: I found them looking for "please" in the source [7] (a few other image titles and other notes remain). Enhancing999 (talk) 10:54, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The notices seem mostly gone by now: thanks for that! Creator template could still be added to ca. 8700 files. Do you plan to do that? Enhancing999 (talk) 11:00, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yup, I'll do that after the weekend ;) -- DaxServer (talk) 11:22, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Enhancing999 I started it now -- DaxServer (talk) 10:16, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Re. -"I, "

Hi Dax, thank you for the message that you want to do the cleanup of these typo's, which seem to be leftovers from image transfers from wikipedia's to commons around 2007/2008 ... I think we can savely ignore a lot of the discussion that really belongs in the template discussion page, where all the confusion and messing comes from in the fist place. Because this case is just about fixing a bunch of typo's not about new legalistic approaches or statements. But since it in the official license chapter, I won't touch this on this massive scale, 23k items. If you agree, I would be happy to see these typo's fixed.

Hi @Pelikana I do wish there is a consensus but it seems we have to wait a bit longer than anticipated! -- DaxServer (talk) 08:40, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, yes I see. And now I also doubt a bit about touching these PD licenses at all, (where the authors in later days probably would have used cc-by-sa) It's a small typo error, that i can live with, and would be just a cosmetic fix after all. Peli (talk) 08:48, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
