Thank you for the clarification. I’ll use this time to set up Canasta locally and familiarize myself with the codebase and testing setup. Looking forward to contributing starting March 16.

Hi @Aklapper, thank you for pointing that out.
Yes, I’ve reviewed the task description and the listed microtasks. I’ll start working on one of them and will update here with my progress.
If I have any questions while working on it, I’ll reach out.
Thanks again!

Hi @Yaron_Koren , @cicalese , I’m preparing for GSoC 2026 and I’m interested in contributing to this project.
I’ve previously contributed to Pywikibot and submitted a few patches there, and I’m keen to continue learning and improving through real contributions.

Hi @ParasharSarthak @Jnanaranjan_sahu,
I’m Surya, a GSoC 2026 applicant. I’ve recently contributed to Pywikibot and am very interested in Wikifile-Transfer.

Patch has been merged. Thank you for the review and guidance!

Thanks for the clarification, noted.I’ll start working on a small set of test files and will share my progress here.

Hi, I’d like to work on this task.
I will review and update the documentation as suggested and verify the steps myself.
Please let me know if that’s okay.
Thanks!

Hi @Xqt,
I’d like to work on this task and focus on a small set of test files (for example: api_tests.py / datasite_tests.py).
I will submit separate patches as suggested.
Please let me know if that’s okay.
Thanks!

Thanks for the clarification!
I’ll look for a task marked as good first task and continue contributing.

Hi,
I’m interested in working on this task and would like to help add missing characters to WikiHiero.
Could you please guide me on where to start and which files I should look at first?
Thank you.

Hi @Redmin,
This patch implements removal of extraneous empty file options in [[File:...]] links, as discussed in T417269. All relevant tests in test_delinter.py pass (45 tests), and only delinter.py and test_delinter.py were modified. The changes are ready for review and merge.
Thanks!

Hi @Redmin,
I checked the current upstream main branch and it already contains the fix for empty file options (commit d8466da – Edit test_delinter.py).
It seems this task is already resolved. Could you please confirm and close the task if appropriate?
Thank you.

Hi, I’d like to work on this task if it’s still available.
I’m new to Wikimedia contributions and recently submitted a Pywikibot patch.

Hi @Xqt,
Just checking in on this task. I understand it is waiting for the creation of Urdu Wikisource.
Please let me know if there is anything I can help with from my side or if any changes are needed in my patch.

Hi @Xqt,
I’ve uploaded the updated change with a new patchset here:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/pywikibot/core/+/1237628

Thanks for pointing that out. I’ve reverted the unintended change to scripts/maintenance/addwikis.py.
git diff is now clean, and only the wikisource family change remains.

Thank you for the clarification and for your patience.

Hi @Xqt,
I reset my local repository to origin/master and re-ran the addwikis script.
The script reports that ur is already present in Family.codes and there is no remaining diff.
It looks like the change has landed upstream. Please let me know if anything further is needed from my side for T415976.

Thanks for checking.

Thanks for the context here. Since @anoexpected has already started working on this task, I’ll hold off to avoid duplicate work.

Hi @Xqt, thanks for the detailed guidance.
I see that T416145 is already in progress.
Please let me know which task you’d recommend I pick up next, and I’ll proceed step by step.

Thanks for checking!
Yes, that works for me — I’m currently focusing on T416116, so please feel free to start looking into T416566. Happy to collaborate later if needed.

Hi @Xqt
Patch uploaded: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/pywikibot/core/+/1237260
Awaiting feedback.

Thanks, I’ll start with one of the easy tasks to get familiar with the workflow. I’m picking T415976 (urwikisource) first, will run the required script with the right options, and submit a patch. After that, I’ll continue with T416566.

Thank you @Xqt for assigning this task and for the guidance.

Thank you, @Xqt!

Hello @Xqt,
Thank you for the clarification. I understand that the patches are already submitted and that the script options should be documented inside the script for global help.
Since this task is already being handled, I’m happy to support in any way needed or take up another related task. Please let me know how I can contribute.

Hi team,
I'm Surya, new to Wikimedia development and preparing for GSoC 2026.

Thanks, @Aklapper, for the clarification.

Thanks for pointing me to the communication tips. I’ve read them.

Hi! I’m Surya, new to Wikimedia development and preparing for GSoC.
I would like to work on this good-first task.
Could you please confirm if it’s okay for me to proceed?

I would be happy to work on the documentation part of this task as I am a beginner, while others handle the code refactoring. Please let me know if this division works for the maintainers.
Thank you!

Thank you! I will go through the New Developers page and Communication Tips. Please let me know if this task is appropriate for me to work on after reviewing it.
