Delete Commons-Video-Clicks tool
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The tool did not work for quite some time now and got replaced by something different long ago. Please delete it.

Thanks!


original report:

No link where and how to report a bug, so I went to https://admin.toolforge.org/tools to check who is listed as maintainers.

  1. Go to https://commons-video-clicks.toolforge.org
  2. Enter a video-link, such as File:Phabricator_-_Individual_Productivity.webm
  3. Enter dates, such as 09/30/2020 and 10/05/2020.
  4. Click "Get Views".
  5. Get an incorrect error message about "The video link or video name is possibly wrong. Please check or visit help page."

Event Timeline

Thanks for the ping and the ticket. When we did our last listing of WMDE maintained tools at the beginning of 2019 we decided to sunset this one eventually. I'm currently checking if there are some other developments in that regard. - Do you, @Aklapper, have any insights if this tools is used or needed by anyone atm?

we decided to sunset this one eventually

Just "decided", or was action also taken to actually sunset? :) (I wonder how to interpret https://sal.toolforge.org/tools.commons-video-clicks )

have any insights if this tools is used or needed by anyone atm?

None - I think I only ended up on https://commons-video-clicks.toolforge.org/ because I had bookmarked that page at some point in the past...

I guess as *an average end user*, *if* the tool got sunset already (not sure), I would have naïvely expected that

(which doesn't imply that you as tool maintainers can necessarily influence content or existence of all these pages)

@WMDE-Fisch: Did your check lead to any results? :) Could you explain what "sunset" means exactly?
IMHO if this tool never works then it should simply be deleted. Boldly adding that tag now...

Thanks again for the nudge. I guess @Tobi_WMDE_SW should have last word on this. :-D

It can definitely be deleted. I actually thought it got deleted already in 2019 during some migration.

Thanks for nudging!
