GeographBot re-creating deleted files
[edit]Hi Multichill, first of all thank you for creating and/or maintaining GeographBot, it's too bad the Geograph project seems a little stale but it's great that Commons is able to back up a lot of that important content. But anyway, I recently DR'd a few Geograph images due to UK FOP issues at Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Graffiti on walls in London, but see that today the bot re-created a few of them (e.g. File:Graffiti - geograph.org.uk - 2825750.jpg). Is the bot able to check if a file's deleted and if so, not re-create it? Thanks, -Consigned (talk) 09:44, 15 September 2025 (UTC)
- @Consigned: I have Commons:Geograph Britain and Ireland/Deleted files to prevent the bot from uploading files that have been deleted before. The bot loads the list and puts the id's on a skip list. The files you mention were recently deleted so not on the list yet, now updated. So a bit of a mid-air collision. I deleted the files. Multichill (talk) 19:42, 15 September 2025 (UTC)
- Great, thank you. -Consigned (talk) 22:49, 15 September 2025 (UTC)

BotMultichill adding SDC
[edit]I see that BotMultichill is adding SDC inception to files. Where was this bot task approved? Pi.1415926535 (talk) 20:27, 29 September 2025 (UTC)
- @Pi.1415926535: been doing that for years, bot was approved and flagged back in 2007. What's the problem? Multichill (talk) 22:00, 29 September 2025 (UTC)
- Commons:Bots/Requests/BotMultichill is only for a task of transferring images from nlwiki. You need community approval for each new task. (Per COM:BOTS:
Bots must not be used to carry out different tasks for which permission has not been granted.
Please stop the bot until you have received approval for this task. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:27, 29 September 2025 (UTC)- @Pi.1415926535: aren't we a bit bureaucratic here? I can do that too, bot was approved under this policy. So no, I'm not stopping it.
- If there is something in need of fixing, please tell me. Otherwise, move on. Multichill (talk) 22:37, 29 September 2025 (UTC)
- I had a look to be sure, the bot is just emptying out the backlog in Category:Taken on missing SDC inception. It had over 400.000 entries so it might take some time to clear. Multichill (talk) 22:53, 29 September 2025 (UTC)
- You did not give the community any chance to weigh in about these tasks for two bots (including BotMultichillT) that are making millions of edits. It is not being bureaucratic to insist on that simple step, which has been listed on that page since 2009, long before you started any SDC tasks with the bots. Telling me to "move on" for asking you to follow a community norm is not helpful. I have blocked BotMultichill and BotMultichillT per Commons:Bots#Blocking of bots and opened a discussion here. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 00:05, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
- You blocked both bots to make your point? This is harassment. Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard#BotMultichill,_BotMultichillT_and_Pi.1415926535. Multichill (talk) 07:42, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

Maps from Geographicus
[edit]Hi, I asked you a few months back to fix the license of files uploaded by your bot, but there are still not OK. It is not acceptable that an experienced user uploads so many files without a proper license. Please fix them. Thanks, Yann (talk) 09:42, 16 November 2025 (UTC)
Some may even not be in the public domain. Yann (talk) 09:51, 16 November 2025 (UTC)
- @Yann: I'm not feeling my work is appreciated here so I'm barely active so I probably missed your previous message. Shouting at be for a 15 year old batch upload is not helping. As Commons:Geographicus: Most maps are fairly old. I recall some more recent ones where templates got updated, but that was years ago. What seems to be the problem? Multichill (talk) 13:50, 1 January 2026 (UTC)
- Hi, I have fixed dozen of these where the license is incomplete. For a mass upload by an experienced user, I would expect better. Yann (talk) 14:08, 1 January 2026 (UTC)
Advies template update
[edit]Hi Multichill. Hoe kunnen we te werk gaan voor een update van het template Artwork? Er leven wat ideeën bij mij over updates zoals noodzakelijke tokens voor grafiek zoals: serie nummer binnen de oplage. (zoals 15/299), eventueel: oplage aantal, zeker wel: serietitel 2, serietitel 2 (originele taal) ook: /toelichting, ook: /Opschriften - Merken (om ze niet 'inscripties' te noemen) /opmerkingen. eventueel /Correcties voor opmerkingen over eventueel gecorrigeerde correcties verwisselingen en aanvullingen door wiki-editors. Misschien ook '/tekst in de originele taal' (voor de authentieke data set, mits correct en zo mogelijk gebaseerd op de nieuwste versie van de bron). Zelf gebruik ik het template niet graag voor grafiek, vooral door de vele genoemde problemen ermee. Ik zie het best vaak misgaan waar men als het ware twee liter info in een eenliter fles wil gieten; 'meaning gets lost in translation'. Heb je tijd voor hulp bij oplossen van dit?
Het sjabloon is beschermd en ik heb onvoldoende ervaring om het aan te passen. Van mij mag het sjabloon eventueel ook flexibeler en meer versatile voor boeken enzo. Bijvoorbeeld volgorde flexibeler of naast 'maakt deel uit van' ook tokens voor uitgever en pagina nummers. Zeker gewenst ook meer tokens voor het onderwerp: Wanneer Waar Wat Wie. Ook foto's uit albums passen misschien nog niet goed in dit template dat kennelijk aanvankelijk gemaakt werd voor unica zoals schilderijen. Hoe lang zou dit traject gaan duren? Het mag natuurlijk niet de al geplaatste templates gaan beschadigen. Wat denk je ervan? Dit gaat onder anderen over de vormgeving van de 'Description' in circa 200K files in het Rijksmuseum Prentenkabinet. Uploads Nostalgic - Zoek "RP-P" , RP-T" en "RP-F" en check de beschrijvings elementen. zoals ook nog Opgedragen aan Opgeragen door, etc. Het sjabloon is hier en daar gewoonweg te klein om al deze info correct te kunnen verplaatsen. Vooral als er ook nog eens een Omschrijving en een Toelichting: bij is. Zelf wil ik in de huidige staat van dit sjabloon het lieft de RMA beschijvingen binnen de { {'nl| } } tags gewoon compleet naar veld Description verplaatsen en dan de vier noodzakelijke velden maker, title, auteur en bron gebruiken. Dat levert wat mij betreft de meest correcte resultaten op. Sommige ontbrekende spaties daargelaten. Ook is dit stukje 'platte' (wiki-) brontekst makkelijk geheel of gedeeltelijk te kopiëren en te vertalen. Terwijl bij versnippering over kolommen en bij onzorgvuldig werken bepaalde langere zoeksequenties bv "Datering: 1871 Fysieke kenmerken: ets" soms opeens onmogelijk of niet in dezelfde query meer te vinden zijn.
Ik pleit danook eigenlijk voor een officiële richtlijn of afspraak of aanbeveling om de oorspronkelijke authentieke RMA noteringswijzen niet te beschadigen maar in tegendeel te optimaliseren voor massale aanpassingen door bots. Deze zijn zeer goed te doorzoeken om bijvoorbeeld bepaalde thema's te vinden. Een goed script zou dan ook in korte tijd vertalingen kunnen invoegen, overbodige formattering kunnen verwijderen of vervangen of optiek een tikje comprimeren (niet echt nodig voor een enkele taal: nl) etc. De standaard en de artwotk beschrijvingen zijn wel te combineren bijna naadloos is mijn ervaring, toch spelen deze problenen. Al om te beginnen : separate velden voor /maker1 /maker2 en /naar1 /naar/2 en /opdrachtgever en /verlener van permissie /herdrukken etc. Overigens: Ik snap niet hoe ik de genoemde optionele velden 1 2 en 3 moet plaatsen. Opmerking: de beschijvingspagina klopt niet, zo lijkt het: boven in het voorbeeld zijn meer tokens genoemd dan daar onder te vinden en te kopiëren zijn. Bij wie kan ik dit verzoek indienen (op de OP?) en zou je het ondersteunen? Begrijp je wat en hoe ik het bedoel? Bedankt en Groet
update 20 nov: Hi @Multichill : of is er al een goed template voor prints en printseries? Ik kwam al wel een speciale voor boekpublicaties tegen. Peli (talk) 15:03, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

Template Artwork
[edit]Hoi Multichill, ik had hier een heel vraagstuk geopend voor overleg over het template Artwork. Inmiddels heb ik ook template 'Book' gezien maar enkele van de vraagpunten zijn nog actueel. De vraag is of het template ietsje uitgebreid zou kunnen worden voor grafiek series en dergelijke. Ik hoor graag of er oplossingen zijn voor de ontbrekende velden in verband met het correct beschrijven van prenten en foto's. Beste groet. Peli (talk) 14:05, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

GeographBot uploads lacking a file page
[edit]Hello, these files of GeographBot's lack file pages if you please could create them:

- @Jonteemil: the bot cleaning that up (User:BotMultichillT) is blocked. Bot will resume if someone unblocks it. Multichill (talk) 13:29, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

- @Jonteemil: Since there weren't very many of them, I've manually copied the description pages from Geograph for these 28 files, and also added some categories. --bjh21 (talk) 22:50, 1 January 2026 (UTC)
