pagelister is down

Probably due to the Grid Engine Shutdown Apocalypse given the timing. But, hey, the good news is you get a completely novel new Kubernetes wrapper and orchestration system to deal with in the process, so… yay? Xover (talk) 09:39, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

@Xover Is there a gridengine migration task ? Sohom (talk) 16:12, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

@Sohom Datta: Good point. There's no Phab task and it's not on the Grid Engine List of Shame, so pagelister is probably already on k8s and this was a different hickup. It looks like it's back up now in any case, ether on its own or because Inductiveload kicked it. Xover (talk) 17:20, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

It might need one more kick/code change, per below the archive.org IIIF endpoint has changed and the tool needs to be updated to use that endpoint. Sohom (talk) 17:24, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

It'll need more than a kick for that. The IA change is from v2 to v3 of the IIIF format, which kicks in when you switch to the new official endpoint. In any case, I expect the old endpoint will keep working as a redirect for a while. Xover (talk) 20:16, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

IA link for IIIF changed...

See- https://blog.archive.org/2023/09/18/making-iiif-official-at-the-internet-archive/

The links used in the relevant code for img_link and jump to file etc. will need updating.. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 23:59, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Image uploader usage

Forgive me if there's documentation for this somewhere and I just haven't found it. I and others have just transscribed an opthamology textbook, it's from the Library of Congress via the Internet Archive, and it has missing-image templates for each image.

Is there any way I can auto-insert the images at successive missing-image template locations? They'd be fairly good unmodified, but I could also subsequently use the Commons API to download, cleanup, and re-upload them. Or should I be using the Image Uploader icon in the toolbar of the edit pane for each page? I'm a bit confused by that as it asks me for an image file, and I just want to point it at the IA and get their best images.

These images mostly have no captions beyond "Fig. [number]", but I could also add descriptive titles, including subsequently, using the Commons "Move" tool.

I have a horrible feeling that I've already asked you about this, and you answered, but I can't find the answers and don't recall them. I will write up my experiences in Help:Wikisource Image Uploader tool this time, if you don't mind. And I will not be in the least offended if your answer to this is an RTFM link. Or nothing, really, I'm sure I can make some workpath work somehow, I'm just being lazy and trying to save myself messy trial and error. Thank you for all the effort you have put into image tools.

Found the manual. Don't know how I missed it. Misunderstood entirely, my apologies. HLHJ (talk) 01:41, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Languageseeker

I wrote a user page for Languageseeker. Handwritten, on paper.

The user page is a full disclosure for what was a good AI bot.

I was angry while Lseeker was running because I knew it was a bot and I dislike being lied to. In the time since then, I have experienced other bots and also thought a lot about it and Lseeker was really good. That user page intro has user quotes about how great Lseeker was:one I kind of remember reading and another from me ("I knew it was a bot, yet I was still having a crush on it").

Lseeker enthusiasm was catchy. The bots name was not so great though. Maybe dust it off and get it going again? With some full disclosure, at the user page, in case anyone looks into just what makes that dork work?--RaboKarbakian (talk) 13:04, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Erroneous run?

I think the series of edits here caused a problem instead of fixing it. I'm not fussed about it, I can adjust it manually,but thought you might like to know in case it's worth some forensic analysis etc etc. (Would not surprise me if it resulted from you faithfully following an erroneous request on my part.) -Pete (talk) 19:04, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
