Commons bot inactivity
Hello! Your bot has been listed at Commons:Bots/Requests/de-flag 4 as being inactive for over two years. As a housekeeping measure we'd like to remove the bot flag from inactive bot accounts, unless you expect the bot will be operated again in the near future. If you consent to the removal of the bot flag (or do not reply on the deflag page) you can rerequest the bot flag at Commons:Bots/Requests should you need it again.

OVH cloud down
Hi. Our OVH cloud data center in Strasbourg had a fire today. It's the leading cloud provider in Wester Europe with Amazon. Wikimedia Fr staff monitoring the news. We are free for few days. Yug (talk) 10:17, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
- Seems our severs are on 2 different physical places, one is affected. We have hints that the database is safe. Not clear yet. We agreed with WMfr staff to not get hourly updates but rather let them work and when things are stable get a to do list. If you still have pages open or cache, you/we may want to keep them open. 🙏🏼 Yug (talk) 10:38, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
Pronounciations renames
Hi, is there some sort of discussion around the large amounts of pronounciations renames you recently added or some further justification for these? I'm hesitant to move over 100 files, some of which are heavily used, without any proper justification. TommyG (talk) 12:45, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

Welcome, Dear Filemover!

Hi Olaf, you're now a filemover. When moving files please respect the following advice:
- Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{Rename}} template to order a bot to replace all occurrences of the old title with the new one. Or, if there was no rename-request, please use the Move & Replace-tab.
- Please leave a redirect behind unless you have a valid reason not to do so. Other projects, including those using InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references. Please see this section of the file rename guideline for more information.
- Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.

Lingua Libre & OlafBot
Hello Olaf, long time no see. I'm currently cleaning up Lingua Libre's wiki before migration under Commons:Lingua Libre root page. Also, I bumped into your helpful :lingualibre:User:Olafbot/exclusion list/{iso}. Are there still active ? As of now I do not plan to migrante those.
Also, giving you the heads up, as we are phasing out Lingualibre.org/wiki/ you may now store and edit word lists under this new naming pattern : Commons:Lingua Libre/List:{iso}/{title} on Wikimedia Commons.
So ":lingualibre:List:{iso}/Lemmas-without-audio-sorted-by-number-of-wiktionaries" should soon be edited at "Commons:Lingua Libre/List:{iso}/Lemmas-without-audio-sorted-by-number-of-wiktionaries"
This is already working for the pre-release at https://lingua-libre.toolforge.org , and will be the main system by mid-November.
Thank again for your List:{iso}/Lemmas-without-audio-sorted-by-number-of-wiktionaries lists which have been of tremendous guiding help for French and other languages. Yug (talk) 11:30, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Yug. Sorry for not responding earlier.
- I'm currently updating the bot so that it can use Commons, but I'm having some issues with the exclusion lists. (1) The Lingua Libre wiki is no longer responding, so the lists are impossible to retrieve. (2) A lot of work has been done, at least in Lingua Libre User:Olafbot/Exclusion list/Pol. I think some of the other exclusion lists could be populated too (/Fra, /Eng?). Could you import them somehow? At least the Polish one — I don't want to add a few thousand entries again! (3) I'm also changing "Lemmas" to "Entries", as it is more accurate, and the exclusion lists will be hosted here: Commons:Lingua Libre/Exclusion list:Pol. (4) Where is the Lingua Libre recording system hosted now? Olaf (talk) 09:15, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
- Hello Olaf, long time no see,
- (1) LinguaLibre.org has occasional issues these past months due to ML bots and increased security settings breaking some automated request. It it be this ? The site is otherwise online.
- (2) Yes, a mass import is underway including existing list, most likely around mid December tho. I will naturally let you know the key points, mostly the new naming convention to follow so you may transition smoothly.
- (3) You may code your new Commons bot for exclusion list at Commons:Lingua Libre/Exclusion list:Pol, yes.
- (4) The demo system is at https://lingua-libre.toolforge.org (repository), but we plan to move it as well, most likely to https://lingualibre.org/Recorder.
- (5) Are you on Discord ? Yug (talk) 10:20, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
- (1) I wasn't able to reach it today. But now it works for me, so I can import the exclusion lists and templates on my own.
- (2) If possible, please don't import List:{iso}/Lemmas... - bot has already recreated them as List:{iso}/Entries..., so they would be imported twice.
- (5) I'm using Discord very rarely.
- Olaf (talk) 21:25, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
Clean up
Hello Olaf,
(2) is ok now : `/Lemmas` lists (94) won't be migrated.
(3) I also see the exclusions lists are now on Commons, great! New features: the new recording Studio accepts lists containing templates and categories in their wikitext. Such complex wikitext is now ignored. So you may now use template and categories in your lists, same as here.
(6) I'm also leading the pre-migration clean ups.
The following template exist on both sites and therefore cannot be migrated as it to Commons :
| Lingualibre | Commons | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Template:Exclusion list header | {{Exclusion list header}} | List's header |
| Template:Exclusion-list-link | {{Exclusion-list-link}} | Shortcut builder |
| Template:Wikt-list | {{Wikt-list}} | Shortcut builder |
| Template:Olafbot-exclusion | {{Olafbot-exclusion}} | List of lists |
| Template:Olafbot-wikt | {{Olafbot-wikt}} | List of lists |
May I delete those Lingua Libre 5 template pages today ? Yug (talk) 10:35, 27 December 2025 (UTC)
Name update
Hello Olaf and happy new year,
The migration to Commons have been successful, Wikimedia Commons is now our primary wiki (annoucement).
Also, considering mediawiki behaviors and to ensure higher compatibility with templates, Magic Words & {{#titleparts:}} I had to change the naming convention from .../List:{ISO}/Title to .../List/{ISO}/Title. This allows us to extract the language code from the {FULLPAGENAME}, see {{Lingua Libre list/code}}.
Could you propagate this change in your bot ? I can then request a friend to delete the obsolete pages. Yug (talk) 17:49, 14 January 2026 (UTC)
- Ok. I changed the code. Should I also change
Commons:Lingua Libre/Exclusion list:{ISO}toCommons:Lingua Libre/Exclusion list/{ISO}? Olaf (talk) 10:12, 15 January 2026 (UTC)- Hello Olaf, thanks for your change.
- Your
Commons:Lingua Libre/Exclusion list:{ISO}are not to be used by the recording app I work on, so my main naming requirement is that they should NOT match myCommons:Lingua Libre/List/{ISO}/Titlepattern. Then all is good. - EDIT: Also, I just found out right now that we can use {#replace:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|:|/} in combo wiht {#titleparts:} to split via
:, seeCommons:Lingua Libre/List:Fra/Titleafter processing by the following codes :- with
:: List:Fra - with
/: Fra - with
:& replace: Fra
- with
- 0____0 -> Q___Q
- If you need your template to drop the iso parameter in {{Exclusion list header}}. ;) Yug (talk) 12:53, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
