Fae added a comment to T36928: Create a user right that allows ignoring the spam blacklist.

Just a reminder, as someone who has several times run upload projects with over 100,000 files, with names automatically created with sensible and published naming rules, Commons is routinely losing out on content because of bizarre matches to things like a repeated name in the title of a book in Latin; this happens so often I just never return to these skipped uploads. Even if the right was limited to users with over 100,000 edits, it would be a great improvement and avoid wasting significant volunteer time writing scripts to work around a badly designed or untested blacklist.

There does seem to be a misunderstanding. This task is labelled as being for the "Internship tasks" related to NSFW classifiers "for Wikimedia Commons". If it's not this, perhaps someone could describe it more clearly. Thanks

Fae added a comment to T266117: Frequent chunk-too-small errors.

I think a better workaround, if it works, is to use source_url in site.upload().
It delegates to API the task of fetching the file. If it works, the file is hopefully the original.

Fae added a comment to T254459: Large PDF upload issue.

As a separate experiment, here's the results of locally saving a 264MB PDF from archive.org, then running the site.upload from a command line instead of within Python. Local directory names trimmed for privacy but have no logical effect. This was a meaningful experiment as a work-around could have been to locally cache the largest files and url upload the rest, however it seems to have no effect on outcomes.

Fae added a comment to T254459: Large PDF upload issue.

My understanding is that by Pywikibot automatically using chunked upload as a default means that "smart clients to chunk the upload, and we re-assemble it on the server side" was how this worked. Checking Pywikibot's site.py module, this links to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Upload#Chunked_uploading to explain how it works.

Sticking the upload script inside an infinite loop, allowing the upload to break on any first API error seems a practical but bad brute-force work around. However this is incredibly slow, wasteful of processing time and bandwidth, and not a solution for the vast majority for Commons contributors.

Some of these files do eventually upload, but they are not flagged as such, and the API appears to keep on with the 'retrying' loop. The example below is IA_catalogoftitleen33018libr which seems to have taken 48 minutes to actually upload, though the process keeps running for another hour before generating a (technically correct) error that the file now exists on the WMF servers, because the same process actually managed to complete some time before.

Further example is Negros_Oriental_State_University.jpg, per diff, the file cannot be deleted which seems to be caused by the first entry in the filehistory being corrupted.

As examples of this bug seem rare, it seems worth noting another example that popped up during categorization this afternoon:

Fae added a comment to T237154: Display standard webm metadata/tag.

When Wikimedia Commons generates alternate transcodes (e.g. converting a WebM audio/video file, VP9/Opus, length 20 s, 1,080 × 1,080 pixels to a smaller VP9 360P version) different tags are created for the file, which drops several of the standard Matroska entries.

Fae added a comment to T236446: Cloud Services shared IP (static NAT for external communications) often rate limited by YouTube for video downloads.

My experience running locally is that the YouTube IP block lasts around 2½ days. I can queue my processing, and let my programme keep testing the connection every few hours, but it's not reasonable for the average Commons user to see nothing happening for that long.

It seems impossible for me to use WMF cloud services to do the CDC video recoding. I have reverted to running an old mac mini as a headless server, which itself has experienced the YouTube "too many requests" problem, but my understanding is that this gets lifted after a day or two anyway.
