Add coordinates to images[edit]

prologue
There are many images listed on Commons:Files used on OpenStreetMap that lack coordinates, but have them on OSM. A bot could add {{Object location}} to file description pages.

This was previously suggested by another user to the maintainer of the lists, but they have other things on their plate. @Herzi Pinki and Bjh21: Enhancing999 (talk) 09:21, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You could try User:Herzi Pinki/GeoTools to do this manually. best --Herzi Pinki (talk) 11:14, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Funny. An estimate how much time that would take? Enhancing999 (talk) 11:32, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You can write a bot yourself, find someone who will do it for you, do it manually, or keep it as it is. It takes less than a minute per image using my scripts (I have done 6 now in 4 minutes: [1]). Do you have an estimation how many images are still missing location info? best --Herzi Pinki (talk) 20:34, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The purpose of this page is to find a contributor who is willing to do it by bot. You might want to redact your comments accordingly.
There are about 175 subpages. I checked one, it had 1000 images with 60% without coordinates. Enhancing999 (talk) 21:47, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You asked for an estimate. best --Herzi Pinki (talk) 10:10, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can you elaborate and explain on your other suggestions. I consider them off topic.-- Enhancing999

For files listed on the >175 subpages at Commons:Files used on OpenStreetMap, please add {{Object location}} to file description pages.

These subpages include approx. 1000 images. On one page 60% were found not to have coordinates. Enhancing999 (talk) 17:50, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please add {{User category |1=Chris Light}} to the user categories of @Chris Light: . This ensures they are in Category:User categories (flat list) and marked as hidden categories.

To find them: https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?psid=28135244

I fixed the few inclusions that weren't user categories (or shouldn't be): sample. A few are still to fix:

About 60 are currently not hidden categories: sample. They will be once the template is added. Enhancing999 (talk) 09:49, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DGJ file descriptions from Flickr[edit]

Files like this have some duplicated text and content that is of interest mainly to Flickr users. In the past, I cleaned up some pages myself, but there are actually plenty of them, see Special:Search/"PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED." (about 10000). Also Category:Dennis G. Jarvis and Special:Search/"Dennis G. Jarvis" (27000).

Possibly Creator:Dennis G. Jarvis template could be added at the same time. Enhancing999 (talk) 07:38, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removing a redundant parent category from 100+ images[edit]

Most (maybe all?) of the 111 images in the category Category:Los_Gaiteros_de_San_Jacinto are also in parent category Category:Cumbia music groups from Colombia. Would someone be able to remove the parent category from those images? GanzKnusper (talk) 11:41, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GanzKnusper: That was quite a simple request and does not need a bot to do it. I've done them and used the "Perform batch task" that you find in the left side panel of pages. I used it on the files in the category and did a simple replace of Category:Cumbia music groups from Colombia with a "space" though two of the files did not have to be changed as you suggested. This is something you can do yourself but be cautious as it is a powerful tool with many options and easy to make mistakes. There seem to be more files that should be in Category:Los_Gaiteros_de_San_Jacinto, so simple text replacement will do the job for you replacing one category with another one. Good luck. Ww2censor (talk) 12:14, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that! I wasn't aware of VisualFileChange.js, which adds the "Perform batch task" option. I'll cautiously try it out! GanzKnusper (talk) 12:48, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ww2censor @GanzKnusper for changing categories it's even easier to use com:catalot. RZuo (talk) 08:00, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hidden categories is a system category added by __HIDDENCAT__

However, some files and even categories add it as regular categories: [[Cateogry:Hidden categories]]

To find some: [2] (currently 468 in category namespace). Enhancing999 (talk) 13:22, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've reduced the numbers with Com:Cat-a-lot. The rest probably should be gone through manually. Jonteemil (talk) 23:04, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn't they be replaced with __HIDDENCAT__? This finds those lacking that. Enhancing999 (talk) 23:18, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure all 128 categories really should be hidden. That's why I suggest they be gone through manually. Jonteemil (talk) 11:52, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
