MGA73 added a comment to T308820: Extension:FileImporter allows import of files originally uploaded by users that are blocked on Commons.

I do not think FileImporter should prevent files by blocked users to be uploaded. But it could be a good idea to add a warning like "Hey the uploader is blocked. Are you sure you want to move the file?"

MGA73 added a comment to T286712: The letter ț causes links to be wrong on either Wikipedia or Commons.

Thank you for your reply. I copied the name from Commons and pasted it to the file on ro.wiki. It works when I paste it into a wikilink but not when I paste it into the NowCommons template. So I do not think it is Windows or Edge that makes the error?

MGA73 added a comment to T223616: Allow individual review of files that don't yet match the license requirements.

When I meet this problem I usually edit the local file page and add the template I want the file to have on Commons and edit the configuration to accept this template.

MGA73 added a comment to T213929: Replace local date format with the Commons date format.

Commons have a bot that will try to fix dates. There is no guarantee that dates on a specific wiki always uses the same format. So I think it is better to leave the converting to the bot on Commons instead of making the code of FileImporter more complicated. I can of course not forbid the team to implement it but I would support if they decide not to do it (to close this as not done).

MGA73 added a comment to T213409: Improve/Dispose AbuseFilter checks on old text revisions.

It is correct that it would be possible for an attacker to upload bad stuff to xx.wiki and then import it to Commons. But FileImporter only works for AutoConfirmed users? So an attacker would have to make many good edits on xx.wiki and Commons before it will work?

In that case I prefer that we add information during import (template or category) instead of blocking for all imports.

MGA73 added a comment to T222445: Disable FileExporter on all Arabic projects per Commons community request.

I like FileImporter and I thinks it is a bad idea to block it on some wikis. If good users verify that files are good then those files should be possible to move to Commons.

MGA73 added a comment to T198372: Make sure people understand which template prevents them to moving a file to Commons.

I think the best solution is to add text to [[:de:Vorlage:Bild-PD-alt-100]] or [[:de:Vorlage:NoCommons]] telling the user what to do. That way we do not have to make the code more complex and it is a wiki problem that needs to be fixed on wiki.

MGA73 added a comment to T233575: Should it be possible to move files that are protected on the source wiki?.

Yes all files should be possible to move. Once it is moved it is up to local wiki to decide if the file should be deleted or not. If another wiki wants to use the file I see no reason why we want to prevent them to do so.

MGA73 added a comment to T225897: Cannot access wikitext of some old revisions on Commons, only get a comparison.

It seems that structured data breaks old revisions. Not just for random files but for ALL files. So soon we have 60 million files on Commons where the old revisions are broken.

Filepages are now deleted on Commons and the files are now imported with succes. No problems! So it was just a temporary issue.

MGA73 added a comment to T258945: Data loss during file import from Japanese Wikipedia.

I was importing many files very fast so that may have been the cause of the problem. I never had problems like that before so if logs show nothing special its okay to close this and spend the time om something else. The easy solution is to delete the broken pages on Commons and try the import again.

MGA73 added a comment to T189196: Add link to source to edit summary.

The original request is about filenames in the edit summary. So the link will always be [[:c:File:<name on Commons>]]. The benefit of a clickable wikilink is that it is much faster to navigate to the new location. Personally I have never thought the long edit summary was a problem but I can see the benefit of a wikilink I can click on. (I just realized that this is an old ticket. I thought it was related to one about making edit summary shorter on source wiki)

I don't see a big need for that. You can just import the file and use HotCat after the import. I would like the import to be as fast and easy as possible.

This should perhaps be in another post so just ignore it if not useful here: I tried to import https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/ファイル:コバギボウシ_Hosta_albo-marginata.JPG before FileImporter crashed but the import failed because there is a broken/missing file in filehistory. So I had to upload it "manually". I did not bother to file a bug because there is hopefully not many broken files like this.
