Taylor added a comment to T346508: Don't convert Vorbis into MP3.

The fault is in the proprietary "Ios" and the proprietary "InternerExplorer". I am aware that some of the patents on MP3 expired, still converting Vorbis to (inferior) MP3 is anything else than a gain. As long as users of proprietary stuff are the most privileged group having everything working smoothly and "natively", whereas users of free software and free file formats have trouble, the power of the proprietary companies will not shrink. PNG as a temporary solution until the patent on LZW84 expires, Vorbis as a temporary solution until the patents on MP3 expire, Theora as a temporary solution until the patents on old MPEG expire ... who would want to ever design a free file format under such provisions?

Taylor added a comment to T341175: Change the Indonesian Wiktionary's name and project namespace from Wiktionary to Wikikamus.
  • The fact that the namespace 4 has different names on different project types of same language makes sharing templates more difficult.
  • The fact that the namespace 4 has same name as the site causes confusion. People are trying to create articles in the ns 4 assuming that ns "Wikipedia" is the obvious choice for wikipedia articles. People don't understand it's purpose. This is happening on essentially all wikis, last but not least on Indonesian wikipedia. Are other namespaces such as "Template:" NOT part of Wikipedia too?
  • The namespace 4 has most aliases and causes most trouble and confusion. On many wikis we have page titles like Wiktionary/Wiktionary/Wiktionary/Project/Project.
  • On wikidata it is difficult to name an item linked to pages in ns 4 because it has many names even in one language. Using the generic "Project:" is possible but it will NOT show like that on any wiki.

Taylor added a comment to T278962: Allow redirects and the target article as independent sitelinks if redirect badge is used.

I still think that a magic word is the preferable approach, irrespective of progress with the temporary fix with many badges. Discard the badges and use VALIDREDIRECT instead. Let wikidata autodetect "redirect to page" vs "redirect to section" and display appropriate icon, and autodetect VALIDREDIRECT too with a tri-state verdict "intentional redirect" vs "dubious redirect" (redirect but magic word missing) vs "misuse of VALIDREDIRECT" (target is an empty page, or a redirect, or a page (not section) not linked to wikidata). I do not see the point with "Q16956589" either. Make it as simple as possible. The originally intended solution with 2 independent badges allows for a large number of dubious states.

Hello ... thanks for answering. Allowing to batch "ifexist" calls from LUA (unlimited or at least high number of pages for the cost of one) would be a great thing. This explains why there can be more than 500 links and they still have right colour, whereas "ifexist" stops working.

Possible fixes:

  • a) run the script now on all public WMF wikis (will fix categories broken for now, will not prevent the wrong counts from re-appearing)
  • b) run the script now, and re-run it regularly or at least occasionally, or establish a way to request running it on a particular wiki
  • c) add a check against ZERO before decrementing the counter, making it impossible for the counts to become negative (removes the most prominent and most silly symptome of the bug, particularly if a) is performed subsequently, but will not fix false positive counts for empty categories, less useful alone, sufficiently useful together with b))
  • d) Allow "action=purge" to recalculate the number of pages/subcats/files in a category (very useful, let users fix those categories that bother them)
  • e) fix the flawed logic (see above T85696#2079552 by "PleaseStand") causing this bug (most difficult strategy?) and perform a) then

Let wikidata autodetect "redirect to page" vs "redirect to section" and display appropriate icon, and autodetect __VALIDREDIRECT__ too with a tri-state verdict "intentional redirect" vs "dubious redirect" (redirect but magic word missing) vs "misuse of VALIDREDIRECT" (target is an empty page, or a redirect, or a page (not section) not linked to wikidata). I do not see the point with "Q16956589" either. Make it as simple as possible. The originally intended solution with 2 independent badges allows for a large number of dubious states.

Taylor added a comment to T278962: Allow redirects and the target article as independent sitelinks if redirect badge is used.

I assume removing the badge from a sitelink should be disallowed if the target page is (currently) a redirect?

Taylor added a comment to T165061: Fixing redirects for Cognate (step 1).

4 years later. A solution is needed for " https://sv.wiktionary.org/wiki/When_in_Rome,_do_as_the_Romans_do. " vs " https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/when_in_Rome,_do_as_the_Romans_do ". Either by allowing linking to redirects, or by some other trick. Most wiktionaries have restrictive policies when it comes to redirects. For example "colour" redirecting to "color" is prohibited on many wiktionaries and thus probably not an issue. Those are NOT same pages. But "When_in_Rome,_do_as_the_Romans_do." and "when_in_Rome,_do_as_the_Romans_do" are same. There is no obvious solution about how to deal with proverbs on wiktionaries. EN wikt has a policy to remove final punctuation and avoid capitalization of beginning letter of a sentence, thus the lemma form is " when_in_Rome,_do_as_the_Romans_do ". SV wikt has a policy resulting in " When_in_Rome,_do_as_the_Romans_do. " (uppercase "W" and dot at the end). Those are SAME LEMMAS and should thus be linked to each other. Unfortunately automatically adjusting the letter case is not possible as it would result in a huge number or false positives. Allowing automatic interwiki linking to redirects would allow to solve the problem manually by creating redirects on both sides. I do not see any better "magic" solution now. If there is an issue with false positives then the interwiki linking to redirects can be restricted to pagenames containing at least one space. This would rule out a mess of "color" and "colour" and "colow" as pointed above. I consider "Cognate" as highly preferable to manual explicit interwiki links (as used before 2017) but this issue with proverbs needs to be solved.

'''UPDATED''': Indeed now it works well if I AM NOT LOGGED IN ... only 0 and 102 are preselected. But when logged in still all namespaces are preselected. This does not happen on for example Swedish wiktionary. The request was not to completely remove the possibility to search in them, only to remove them from the preselection. And the patch added only 102 and did not remove the other ones. I don't know why they are preselected when I am logged in. No longer a major issue, but still strange.

Thanks ... I see that the patch has already been applied and works. The namespace 102 has been added (the most important part of the request), the large amount of obscure namespaces (other than 0 and 102) have not been removed (the less important part).

The reason is that "Aldono" and "Modulo" are substantives whereas "Uzanta" is an adjective.

Sorry for a minor comment: instead of "103 => 'Aldono_diskuto'" it should be "103 => 'Aldono-Diskuto'" (dash and uppercase "D") consistent with for example "Modulo-Diskuto" (not with "Uzanta_diskuto").
