redlinked categories

User:Hornstrandir1 has mass-created red linked categories that are irrelevant and not needed. Do admins have a tool for mass-reversal? Schwede66 23:32, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Schwede66 They should have it as it is built into their tools. I will also add that this user has a history of doing this from looking at their discussion board. Perhaps a block will be warranted here (again). Thanks, and be well! - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 23:34, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Schwede66 23:36, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Schwede66: I am myself unsure of massrollback/reversal tool. At the least I can't find it anywhere on my admin kit. ─ Aafī (talk) 03:42, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Aafi I may have a script for you that may work. Give me a few minutes to go through my toolkit please. Thanks, and be well! - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 03:44, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Aafi Here are a couple that may work; though they may need to be customized:
  • Nuke - Only admin group can see and use this tool
Read through these and see if they help:
If twinkle works on here you may also have this option:

Mass-deleting pages & mass-reversing/reverting are two different things. ─ The Aafī on Mobile (talk) 04:50, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@AafiOnMobile@Aafi I believe all three can be used for deleting. Outside of that I only have other scripts to nominate. I can’t even warn users on here unless I do it manually. Thanks, and be well! - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 04:52, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I actually don't understand why my categories should all be deleted. Lots of them have beend linked to wikidata. Which ones do you think to be wrong ones?12:33, 18 April 2024 (UTC) Hornstrandir1 (talk) 12:33, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What are red-linked categories?12:34, 18 April 2024 (UTC) Hornstrandir1 (talk) 12:34, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Hornstrandir1 Red linked means they are not created yet as they do not meet the criteria to have them created. Thanks, and be well! - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 21:05, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wasting resources

Can someone look into, delete the uploads of and potential even block the user User:Jarrod stanley ? This user has been uploading multi gigabyte, 7 hour videos of blackness and noise. This is extremely wasteful and behavior like this risks that uploads of this size are going to be restricted for most Commons users. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 20:52, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheDJ: Please post this on COM:ANU instead. --SHB2000 (talk) 01:28, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fake descriptions

User:VPosypai contributed a number of artworks. User claimed that artworks are their own and are traditional drawings on paper, but those definitely are digital works, for example: File:Miran Marussig by VPosypai.jpg. Looks like those could be just modified real photos, and there is no indication that VPosypai is the owner of original photos. Siradan (talk) 11:34, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Siradan: You must inform users when you report them on a board. Yann (talk) 12:26, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I know. I already informed VPosypai about this topic right after report. Siradan (talk) 12:28, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Revert edit

I wanted to revert spam edits in File:Nipple piercing ring.jpg, but it doesn't allow me since i don't have permission to review images, and therefore to add FlickreviewR template back. Can someone revert it. --Smooth O (talk) 12:30, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done Yann (talk) 12:36, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request for documents in Brahmi script wherever available.

Nagiri/Devanagiri script is much younger than Brahmi script. I would appreciate it if you could publish the older manuscripts if available in Bhramhi script as original. I am sure any manuscript before 700 AD must be available in older script. Thanks Pisapatis (talk) 19:11, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pisapatis: Hi,
You are on the wrong board, as this would be much better suited on COM:VP. But do you have any idea where these manuscripts would be available? Yann (talk) 19:45, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklist this Flickr account Erdonzello

Dear Admins,

Can someone please place this Erdonzello flickr account: https://www.flickr.com/people/193751847@N03/ on a blacklist. It is just full of FLICKRwashing images (from its first to almost the last page) WHICH ARE FREELY LICENSED and I have had to launch two Deletion Requests on it.

Please see This DR and This DR Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 22:23, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done - I've addressed those DRs and added 193751847@N03 to COM:QFI. Please note, however, that this list does not work the way you appear to think it does ("Right now, anyone can pass images from this flickr account if they wanted to...which is crazy"). All this list does is prevent Flickrreviewbot from automatically reviewing images; the bot instead tags the image for manual review. That "anyone can pass images from this flickr account" will always be true (where "anyone" means license reviewer or admin) regardless of whether a Flickr account is on the list or not.

Tag creation request

In the past, I have requested creation of specific tags for each OpenRefine minor version: openrefine-3.7, openrefine-3.8 and so on. It's probably not so useful to have such a granularity so I would request the creation of the (hopefully last) tag: openrefine, which would be used by all future OpenRefine versions (>= 3.9). Would an admin be able to create it? Thank you! − Pintoch (talk) 13:24, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright image uploaded as PD

File:Soumitrisha Kundu signature.jpg is uploaded from facebook (Meta) per https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100054946043881 and falsely tagged as Public Domain (PD). Please remove it per Wikipedia Commons rules. Thank you. Agent 007 (talk) 19:14, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It will likely be removed when 7 days have passed since the DR was started. Removal is not urgent (you are correct in that signatures are protected in India and this is from a living person). Abzeronow (talk) 19:22, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:HongkongersUK.jpg

Please delete and block--and maybe check CU. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 22:18, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
