@Aklapper , I did exactly what I was told to do here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Quiddity#Phabricator_subtask

Could you disable ISBN / RFC / PMID magic links at NL.wikipedia? We are ready, all usages have been replaced by the appropriate templates. As you can see in the village pump: https://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:De_kroeg&oldid=70570413#Uitschakelen_magische_links , the change is clearly supported by the local community.

Thanks!

Could you disable the ISBN / RFC / PMID magic links at IA.wikipedia? We are ready, all usages have been replaced by the appropriate templates. As you can see in the [https://ia.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Taverna&oldid=691639#ISBN_/_RFC_/_PMID_-_magic_links IA Village Pump], the only other active admin at the project strongly encourages to disable the old magic links.

Yes, I think the task is resolved now the two files are gone and I haven't seen any other involved files.

I could delete both files now. Thanks!

I have tried again and these two files still cannot be deleted.

I have tried to delete the files several times in the past few days, but I cannot.

Any hope that somebody with the right tools will come and delete these two files? The ticket has been silent for two months now.

The report seems to be working again since a few days.

I confirm ShortPages works fine again. Thanks everybody!

I think the best thing for now is to revert the change that leaded to all these problems, so that we could finally use [[Special:ShortPages]] again. It will show a lot of test-pages now the report has been out of service for several weeks. And then maybe reapply the change as soon as it is in a state in which it does not break several reports.

I think Special:ShortPages is the only important report that should not include File pages.

Doing nothing seems no option to me. Every day nonsense pages are created in gallery space, often containing only 2 or 3 words. The oly way to detect those pages was the ShortPages report. All legitimate gallery pages were above 110 bytes when the script broke, so that these rubbish pages appeared at the top of the report and could be cleaned up daily. Now with thousands of 12 byte file pages flooding the report, it has become completely useless. All those rubbish pages will go undetected, unless they are below 12 bytes.

This change broke [[special:ShortPages]]. That report has become completely useless now it is flooded by file pages. Please fix the ShortPages report in a way that it does no longer include file pages. (The discussion in the Village pump did not ask to change the ShortPages report)

In https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump#Should_content_pages_consist_of_galleries_only_or_also_include_File_pages.3F I do not see any consensus to add file pages to Special:ShortPages.

Please remove the file pages from the results, the report is completely useless now.
