Talk:Flickr2Commons: Difference between revisions

The talk prior to the new tool version is here.

The 'mass categorisation' tool ("Append everywhere (categories etc.) near the top of the page" as described in [[1]] is not very clear that apart from the name of requested category also the word "category is needed + brackets. The automatic category tool - seems to be not working. --Oo91 (talk) 18:09, 8 July 2018 (UTC) Reply

The feature seems to be working again. If I type [[Category:category name]] in "Append everywhere," the file will be added to "Category:Category name" Jarble (talk) 18:30, 12 October 2018 (UTC) Reply

it is giving me that error when the image already exists on commons. Slowking4 (talk) 16:50, 23 November 2018 (UTC) Reply

I just uploaded the next photo's with Flickr2commons and something goes wrong, because the lower part is in grey and that is not the case on the original photo's. See:

Is this a temporary problem? Can it be fixed? - Ymnes (talk) 17:30, 28 July 2018 (UTC) Reply

@Ymnes: seems like it was the problem with flickr servers. Please reupload the images (like File:Dulcet (11571389904).jpg) and add review template {{flickrreview}} for bot to check the files. -- Meisam (talk) 21:59, 29 July 2018 (UTC) Reply

@Meisam: they are fixed now, thanks for your advice! Ymnes (talk) 08:09, 30 July 2018 (UTC) Reply

It seems Flickr2Commons no longer works with Flickr’s "No known copyright restrictions" category. Or am I doing something wrong? I’ve used it to upload files with that licensing before, but now it repeatedly tells me "0 files currently selected and ready to transfer." —Elyaqim (talk) 23:10, 11 August 2018 (UTC) Reply

I am also having this issue and have also made this work in the past. Any advice? Jason.nlw (talk) 09:35, 9 November 2018 (UTC) Reply

Hi, several of the files that were transferred by this tool are occuring in this maintenance category.[2] It is somehow connected with the usage of HTML achor tags in the description. Maybe you could replace them somehow before pushing it to Commons. Thanks in advance, --Arnd (talk) 16:06, 14 August 2018 (UTC) Reply

I am working with a group of new users (in a classroom setting) trying to move some images over via this tool. These new users are not able to authorize via OAuth. They click the link, but when they go back to Flickr2Commons, it still asks them to authorize. Is there an autoconfirmed requirement to use the tool? I have used it in past semesters without a problem. Thanks!

I've found about 20 of them. Try 72157626472422660 72157629161497443 72157627159458219 for example.--Roy17 (talk) 00:51, 17 December 2018 (UTC) Reply

there seems to be an misbehavior with "date". this param should be the date of a photo taken. "Date of creation, when the original source was created." commons:Template:Information. the tool seems to take the date of upload on flickr. this will produce misapprehension. see File:20190114_113917546_iOS_(46776262781).jpg: obviously taken jan 14 (verified by other sources), but "Date: 17 January 2019, 14:30" leads someone to believe to see an event happening on jan 17 p.m.: thus, the tool should explicitly say:

Date: "Uploaded on flickr: XXXX"

maybe to add: ("Uploaded on wikimedia: XXXX"). thus, dating (especially for categories) should be "unknown" on an interim basis. in succession, we'll have to add the real date manually, if needed/found. --W!B: (talk) 11:24, 22 January 2019 (UTC) Reply

The app is stuck at "Loading..." and the upload form is not showing up. Is anyone else experiencing this? --Ixfd64 (talk) 22:04, 20 February 2019 (UTC) Reply

I got the same condition. Something is wrong with the upload app. Can anybody help us? --stck_w (^Talk/_Edits) 01:06, 22 February 2019 (UTC) Reply
