Mike_Peel added a comment to T328872: Commons: UploadChunkFileException: Error storing file: backend-fail-internal; local-swift-codfw.

Not sure if it's related, but I keep getting this error when uploading new version of files.

It might be a generic issue, not a chunk upload one? (Also see my earlier comment on this when uploading images through Lightroom, also not sure that's chunk upload?)

@MatthewVernon Thanks for looking into this. Just to note that it does go back a bit longer, this ticket was started in early February.

Mike_Peel added a comment to T322977: Mismatch finder incorrectly capitalizes values.

Just to note that I've now gotten to the bottom of this in the pywikibot code. If after getting the property claim for an external-id, I request 'clm.getTarget()' - then I get lower case. If, however, I do 'clm.getTarget().title()' then the first letter is capitalised. To generalise the code, I've added a check for if a claim is an external-id or not, and use the appropriate call accordingly.

I'm also getting this error surprisingly often at the moment (after <5 minutes of starting a bulk upload). From Lightroom uploading: "The MediaWiki error backend-fail-internal occured: An unknown error occurred in storage backend "local-swift-codfw"." I've also had the same error when uploading a new version of a file.

Mike_Peel added a comment to T300770: Special:UnconnectedPages for main namespace is slow (ca. 10 seconds).

Ah, I see, thanks. Looking a bit more, there are examples where they are noindex but probably they do want to be in Wikidata, e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Serial_murders_in_France - so excluding noindex probably wouldn't work well anyway. Will have to look into this further before deciding how the bot should approach this now.

@Ladsgroup @Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE OK, reading through the other task (and quickly renaming this one, sorry for that confusion!), the big change is the new page_prop 'unexpectedUnconnectedPage', which I could simply query here. I need the page title rather than the ID. So probably something like this would work? (changing, e.g., -0 to -14 for categories):

Hi all, sorry for the delay in replying. Everyone now has replies on the talk page (basically, everyone's work was accepted as completed), and we'll take this work into account while assessing and deciding on the internship. Thanks everyone for your work during the contribution period!

@301295_kTH Task 2 looks good, you can count it as completed on Outreachy, sorry for the delay. I'll reply about the task 3 issue on the task 3 ticket.

It's up to you, you can add them all, or just the one you think is most appropriate. You should put at least one URL per task though.

Hi all, sorry, something unexpected came up. I’ll check and comment on your tasks as soon as I can, but please go ahead and submit applications now, you don’t need to wait for the tasks to be checked first.

Hi @301295_kTH Nearly there! I've left feedback on the talk page, at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User_talk:Varsha_ahirwar_from_India/Outreachy_2 . You can also find the article you should use for task 3 there.

@Prince418 Your proposal still seems substantially the same as Lennard's, just with some rewording and rearranging, which still isn't OK. I don't think you've tried the microtasks either? I'm not sure of the GSoC rules for submitting this, and the deadline is today.

@LennardHofmann Thanks! Those changes look good. I can now see it in the Google dashboard. With "I might have to fix urgent bugs reported after the deployment of a key part, while I'm already working on the next feature" - yes, this is the norm when developing community-facing code!

Hi @LennardHofmann, this is looking good! I think you also have to submit this via Google's system (please make sure you do so!).

I've marked this as 'Closed to new applicants' on Outreachy as there are now several people that have completed all three tasks. The project is still open for contributions, though, and will remain so until the contribution period ends. And if anyone new still wants to have a go at the tasks, that's also fine.

Hi @Mike_Peel, here's my completed task two attempt. I await your feedback, thanks!

https://github.com/Azaya89/Outreachy-Wikidata-project/blob/main/myscript.py

Note: I'm unable to create a new wiki page for my Outreachy task 2. I get an error message saying my IP has been blocked on all wikis due to Open Proxy. Is there a way to resolve this?

Hi! My name is Yedil Serzhan and I am studying for a Master's degree in Computer Science. I had experience with Lua while I was developing games that require fast execution. I would really like to work on this project. Do you suggest that should I start working on microtasks and reading through the codebase from now?

Hi @Mike_Peel , I am very very late to the party. But I have started getting familiar with WikiData and creating my page. My question is probably redundant and dumb, but I am curious about what's your expectation from this microtask. For our created pages, would you prefer it be structured and represented in a conventional Wikipedia article style? Or would you rather prefer a more descriptive page (something like a jupyter notebook) that would represent the creator's thought process and explorations? Thanks.
