Here's a great example of extensively, personally, customized, organized templates for images with high re-use value on high-traffic pages:

Maybe resetting to open reflects reality better? Internal review has happened.

The DJ mentioned that at the last Wikimedia Conference in Berlin that there was a board where people could leave notes for other people. I think such a thing in the future would be very useful for this.

The board works when there's 100-150 attendees, more than that you'll need a dedicated room to host it :)
(We'd also probably want to do that differently - by username - I guess that works better in the tech community.)

@kaldari It seems we have goal #4 in T167400: Disable serving unpatrolled new files to Wikipedia Zero users, and it is an important one to the Commons community to end the piracy issue. The uploads of IP protected media are not necessarily coming from WP0, but it is large groups of WP0 users that are organized to download said material. We can play whack-a-mole all day with uploaders, but it is believed the situation will not go away until we remove access to downloading the files. Is this something we're going to look into?

See here for the detailed numbers from that day (non-public). It's important thought that they don't correspond 1:1 to e.g. video views or audio file listens. E.g. they are not filtered for successful requests (like the Mediacounts dataset is), i.e. a large part might have been requests for already unavailable files. What's more (but this is anecdotal so far), it appears that the Mediacounts data itself is (even beyond the already documented corner cases) often too high in that a single viewing of a longer video by a single users can apparently generate 100 or more requests in some circumstances. Thus the request number is included in these internal query results for detection purposes only, not as an estimate of actual usage.

Yes, thank you. I'm now subscribed to T129845 (restricted), which contains all the useful links.

Keegan, questions, thoughts, ...?

@Dispenser Got it, thank you for the clarification.

@greg We have been deleting an average of 260 uploads per week since January 1, 2017 from Wikipedia Zero pirates T129845. Many videos uploads are from YouTube. And frankly YouTube is a more convenient music listening experience.

I personally would be interested in seeing this on Meta, and have posted on Meta:Babel accordingly: https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Meta:Babel&oldid=17018589#TemplateStyles_extension

I'll leave some notes on the draft tomorrow. Thanks!

As per T116271, the plan is to start deploying in mediawiki.org only. In that task there is a link to the community check.

Neat! (Yes I was being lazy...)

Who'll be the shepherd to get this out in production?

@JMinor great, that sounds reasonable to me. Hopefully it will to others. Thanks!

Due to overlap with Gather and related community concerns, this part was put on hold.

Makes sense, thank you.

Product management at the WMF still needs to give a sign-off, but that part is up to the department heads to get together and work it out.

The TCG is "finished" as much as a wiki page can be - it's always ready to be updated or altered as needed.

As I discussed with Quim, this task ended up stalled this quarter because of demands on the team's time. To do this properly, we need:

Reviewed the previous ORES work in relation to the TCG, reviewed the TCG itself, and set up a plan for proposing and developing an ORES auditing tool: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Meta-ORES

@Revent agreed. I'm taking the liberty of subscribing you to T167815: Conduct MP3 patrol discussion, you'll find the discussion there to be relevant.

From what I understand, hiring is being finalized for a Multimedia CL as the team is being put together to start the Structured Data project.

The (start) list of pages is here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_Collaboration_Guidance/Index

The assembled document doesn't seem to actually need this assessment in its current form. I don't see the usefulness in completing this task as it is. The third column might be revived as "uses" or something like that.

@Quiddity I think this is something we can achieve together, between me organizing the page to match a new workflow with your help in creating a template/advanced styling of the help page. We'll talk soon when you wrap up some other projects.

I recommend to focus on teams here. Project templates is a different topic, there are a couple being used and then there is the one we started prototyping last year (in relation to a TCG task that I cannot find).

Initial ORES review is up and running, so closing. Will continue to document ORES/TCG work in that space.

The TCG needs further review between product and TC. These discussions are to be arranged by TC and product leads, they are out of my control.

This will be happening with ORES this quarter.

March meeting done, scheduling April as we speak. Closing this task as completed.
