The RfC has been open for a bit over a month, and the discussion's subject affects a large number of images on Commons. Uninvolved closure that can summarize the result of the discussion is requested. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 16:42, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bug in the bot User:WLKBot operated by me. Rollback of changes requested

There is a bug in the bot User:WLKBot, operated by me User:Kim Bach, when bulk moving images between categories.

The bot has made a substantial number of edits that should be rolled back.

So I'm requesting a rollback of all changes that were made by User:WLKBot since October 1st 2024.

Tool: User:WLKBot

Template:Sisterprojects

Please correct the links in Template:Sisterprojects, some of them are incorrect. Chrumps (talk) 20:27, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you be bit more specific? Which wiki/language should point where?
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 20:39, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For example: https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Wikifunctions:Main_Page/de or https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/pl:. Chrumps (talk) 20:51, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Any suggestions where they should point? Links need to be fixed by an admin at Template:Sisterprojects layout.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 21:07, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is a discussion about Wikifunctions at Template_talk:Sisterprojects_layout#Broken_Wikifunctions_link
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 21:16, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, but links https://www.wikifunctions.org and https://www.wikiversity.org should work fine for all languages without an additional subpage or parameter. Chrumps (talk) 21:21, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately only for logged in users to their own language, of course, but it's still better than a broken link. Chrumps (talk) 21:25, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Does this qualify as "Recreation of content previously deleted per community consensus"?

File:GID Landspout.jpg was deleted on October 17 as an image sourced from a US government website where even the agency that published it did not know who took the photo.

Two days later, a user uploaded a screenshot of the web page that hosts the photo as File:NWS_Hastings_Tornadoes_Picture_1_Webpage.jpg. I've opened a deletion request. Given the minimalist and unremarkable nature of the rest of the page, I don't see what purpose a screenshot of the page design serves or why that purpose couldn't be served by blacking out the photo of unknown provenance (or simply choosing another page with only unambiguously free elements).

I'm quite happy to wait for the deletion process to run its course, but for future reference, my question here is whether images like this could/should have just been G4'ed instead? (But note the uploader's rationale in the current DR)
