Speedy decision for a deletion request

Hello, in my opinion Commons:Deletion requests/File:Musical instruments used in Strauss's Second Waltz.webm can be decided by speedy deletion, see my answer there. It needs, though, some cleanup on the file page itself, as well. — Speravir – 01:34, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

Protect POTY 2025 from vandalism

Dear administrators,

POTY 2025 just started. CentralNotice banners are placed on all wikis with a link to POTY which usually drives huge trafic on POTY pages. Every year, POTY gets repeatedly vandalized including the contest main page (see this history for examples) until they got protected. Here are some of the pages to protect :

And all galleries accessible from the gallery page.

Also please read carefully this topic to see how it should be protected to avoid blocking the ending of stage 1 and starting of stage 2.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Kind regards,

-- Giles Laurent (talk) 00:27, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

For the pages listed on this page, protected with following settings. The rest, I will proceed with same settings after lunch (in UTC, after 4AM).

{
	"action": "protect",
	"format": "json",
	"title": "Commons:Picture of the Year/Committee",
	"protections": "edit=sysop|move=sysop",
	"expiry": "2026-04-19T01:00:00Z|never",
	"reason": "POTY: [[Special:Permalink/1192336507#Protect POTY 2025 from vandalism|Commons:Administrators' noticeboard#Protect POTY 2025 from vandalism]]",
	"token": "REDACTED",
	"formatversion": "2"
}

— regards, Revi 02:39, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

And some side idea after reading that last year thread: Maybe just utilize template-editor userrights and protection so we can just set expiry to 'never' while still letting non-sysop POTY committee to edit. — regards, Revi 02:44, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

All galleries are now protected with same expiry (full protection expiring 2026-04-19T01:00:00Z, indef move protection), and final result page is protected until 2026-05-02T01:00:00Z. — regards, Revi 04:10, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

@Revi C.: assuming I understand your comment correctly, is there a reason you did not mark this as "done"? - Jmabel ! talk 06:24, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Since Round 2 will need another round of new protections after R1 processing… (I've set the edit=sysop to expire shortly after R1 ends) But yeah, they can simply open a new section when R2 is coming. Or they can simply ask me on my talk page :) Either way, feel free to mark stuff when I seemingly have forgotten to do so. (I'll probably make adjustment when the assumption is wrong :D) — regards, Revi 06:52, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Many thanks for the protection! Is there a way to give an exemption to ZI Jony and Ingenuity to let them the possibility to edit the pages? Right now ZI Jony can't recategorize pictures anymore because he can't edit the json pages anymore. If I understand correctly for last year the problem was solved by protecting the links through Titleblacklist and by giving at the same time an exemption to Ingenuity through an AbuseFilter : see here for more details. Could you please grant Ingenuity and ZI Jony such an exemption this year as well? Thank you very much in advance! -- Giles Laurent (talk) 10:22, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Protection doesn’t work that way. #c-Revi C.-20260406024400-Revi C.-20260406023900 is the only route we can let someone non-sysop edit, or them going through RfA. — regards, Revi 00:11, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

Protection doesn't work that way but AbuseFilter does (eventually combined with Titleblacklist) and Ingenuity was still able to edit pages in POTY 2024 so it would be a great to have everything accessible to Ingenuity for quick fixes (like this one). Thank you for your understanding -- Giles Laurent (talk) 11:36, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

I know all of that, but I consider abusefilter as a last resort when protection can do the job just fine — because abusefilter has “condition limit”, and for the sake of Occam's razor, easier solution is always better solution. For me, cost of remembering to maintain TBL and Abusefilter v. template-editor protection with adding someone as template-editor → I consider protection much better solution.

Of course, you can ask other admins to do that for you, but I am not going to be the one doing that. — regards, Revi 12:55, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

In this case would it please be possible to give template-editor right to Ingenuity at least on a temporary basis? Thank you for your understanding -- Giles Laurent (talk) 13:04, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

@Giles Laurent, that's possible, @Ingenuity have to request at COM:RFR. Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 14:21, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

Now that the pages are protected, could an admin add the following JSON to each of these three pages: Commons:Picture of the Year/2025/Gallery/Mammals/data.json, Commons:Picture of the Year/2025/Gallery/All/data.json, and Commons:Picture of the Year/2025/Gallery/June/data.json? After editing, please visit each gallery (minus /data.json from the title) to make sure it still loads properly.

{
	"title": "Prairie dog Theodore Roosevelt NP ND1.jpg",
	"uploader": "Acroterion",
	"nominator": "Acroterion",
	"gallery": "Animals/Mammals",
	"category": "Mammals"
}

Thanks, Ingenuity (talk) 13:44, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

@Revi C. and @Jmabel, or any sysops, could change prospection level to template-editor? It will allow me to edit. Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 14:37, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

~ing… — regards, Revi 00:08, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

And done. Poke me on my talk page if I missed something — I only get pings on email. — regards, Revi 00:25, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

@Ingenuity, added in all pages. Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 10:53, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

The edit broke the galleries and needs a fix as soon as possible from a Template-editor or Administrator because I can't fix it myself anymore due to the protection. Please see here for the action needed (There should be a "," after every "}" (EXCEPT the last "}")) -- Giles Laurent (talk) 11:34, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Titleblacklist should be edited right? RoyZuo (talk) 11:46, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

@RoyZuo and @Giles Laurent, I've fixed. Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 11:48, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

Many thanks for the quick fix ZI Jony! -- Giles Laurent (talk) 11:50, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

One more thing, could I get a temp TE grant until the end of the contest? I'll need to be able to edit the gallery pages to run the script. Ingenuity (talk) 15:38, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

Done, expiring by end of 2026-05-04. — regards, Revi 00:55, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

Request mass message for POTY 2025 R1

I would like to request a multilingual mass message for POTY 2025 R1. The message is in Commons:Picture of the Year/2025/Message, and targets are Commons:Picture of the Year/2025/Message/Targets. Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 14:44, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

A new user, who started from the translation and made this edit: it is said here that to vote in the POTY you should have an income in 1 US dollar. The most dangerous vandalism is not very visible. Анастасия Львова^ru/en 15:47, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Well, literally all their contribution should be deleted (another example). Анастасия Львова^ru/en 15:51, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

I think it was an honest mistake (possibly machine translation). See Translations:Commons:Picture of the Year/2025/5/en. The $1 there is a formal parameter. - Jmabel ! talk 18:22, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Would someone with decent Russian please reach out to this user and explain the situation and, in particular, that for something that will appear in a user interface they should not use machine translation to translate from a language that they do not understand at least reasonably well. - Jmabel ! talk 18:28, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

@Lvova: would you be willing to take that on? - Jmabel ! talk 18:29, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Okay, if you believe that it is a honest mistake, I'll try. Анастасия Львова^ru/en 18:52, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

@Lvova: thanks. Run the English through Google Translate (as I did after guessing that was what they did and posting here), and you'll see it does exactly this. - Jmabel ! talk 22:25, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Close request

Could an admin take a look at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Millipede Otterness.jpg and assess whether it's worth leaving open any longer? The only comment posted so far is my nomination statement. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:45, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

There's a backlog of even older DRs. If it's not urgent just leave it until someone works through the backlog. The admin noticeboard would get too cluttered if we'd report every DR that is still open. (And comments can come in even several months after the DR was opened — I've in fact commented on another January 28 DR just 2 days ago.) Nakonana (talk) 08:20, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

Please block for vandalism (adding of inexisting and non-pertinent categories over all files of Boccioni's, and overcategorization of existing files).

Is there an admin that is willing to be available by email? I have an issue I need addressed but am worried about posting publicly due to the Streisand effect.

Unarchiving village pump discussion

The discussion at Commons:Village_pump/Copyright#Fop Bangladesh has been archived to Commons:Village_pump/Copyright/Archive/2026/03#FoP in Bangladesh.

I am unsure whether I am permitted to unarchive it or what the proper procedure would be. The discussion does not appear to have been formally closed. As the proposal is quite extensive, it requires significant time for contributors to review and respond. A small number of users have shown interest to comment who have not finished reading and scrutinize it.

It's important to note that, I didn't push anyone to comment in favour. I have reached out to relevent users and requested for comment.

If any admin would unarchive it, that would be greatly appreciated.Tausheef Hassan Auntu ✉Talk? 06:04, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

@Tausheef Hassan this is certainly not the first time a discussion is archived without reaching a conclusion or formal closure. If you think reviving the discussion will lead to it being formally closed with a conclusion, go ahead. If there is no participation again and it gets archived, then I would suggest you to drop it. Just leave a small text at the end of the thread that you've unarchived it to see if it can reach a conclusion. Don't forget to sign it so that the 7 days timer is reset. And don't forget to remove it from the archive page when doing so. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 15:35, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

@Shaan Sengupta: Do I just edit the wikitext and move it from the archive and add it to the village pump directly in source editor? Or is there a formal way to do it? Tausheef Hassan Auntu ✉Talk? 16:08, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

@Tausheef Hassan, the thread was already unarchived by @MS Sakib. Though he didn't remove it from the archive page. I have done so now. I have also stopped the bot from archiving it until 18:14, 19 April 2026 (UTC). If there is no active discussion, it'll be archived again. So try to reach a conclusion by then. But in case there is an active discussion, we can always push the date. Thank you. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 18:18, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Rename requests - target already exists

Hello everyone, per this discussion on COM:VPP Phabricator task T421373 is resolved by @Nemoralis and delete-redirect right has been granted to filemovers. Therefore I propose a minor change in {{Rename}}.
Currently if someone makes a rename request for a filename to move to one of its single revision redirects or any other exisiting name, the message reads

The specified target file exists. File movers will be unable to rename this file. An admin is required or choose another name. Use {{duplicate|(File name)}} if the file is exactly the same.

Now I don't think it can be automatically determined if the proposed name is indeed a single revision redirect. So we can just add a few words and it might be enough. Maybe something like

The specified target already exists. File movers will be unable to rename this file if the proposed name is not a single revision redirect. An admin is required in such a case or choose another name. Use {{duplicate|(File name)}} if the file is exactly the same.

This is my suggestion. Someone may choose better words. Its just that I feel the message needs to reflect the change that has happened. I think a lot of filemovers have no idea about this change bcoz they were never notified (atleast not me). I know bcoz I participated in that discussion. Maybe a mass message to every filemover notifying this change will also help. And also adding info about delete-redirect at COM:FM just like it has about suppressredirect. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 09:05, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Alternate possible wording: "The specified target already exists. File movers will still be able to rename this file if the proposed name is a single-revision redirect, but otherwise this move will require an admin, or you can choose another name. Please use {{duplicate|(File name)}} if the target name already contains exactly the same file." Not sure if that's better, just laying out options. - Jmabel ! talk 20:28, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

@Jmabel, I tried not to add too many words as it would become lengthy. What about "The specified target already exists. File movers can rename this file only if the proposed name is a single-revision redirect; otherwise, this move will require an admin, or you can choose another name. Use {{duplicate|(File name)}} if both files are exactly the same." This has about 46 fewer characters than your suggested version and 6 more than my initial version. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 09:28, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

Fine with me. - Jmabel ! talk 23:09, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

Good. Then I would request you or anyone else interested to kindly do the needful. Thank you. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 01:11, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

Template:Rename/i18n brought in line. Obviously, translations will be needed. - Jmabel ! talk 05:01, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

@Jmabel, plz see Revision #1195434301. This was done after you applied those changes. It still shows the same old wording to me. I even purged to force latest version. No change, maybe the same thing needs to be done somewhere else too. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 06:11, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

@Shaan Sengupta: If someone can tell me where to edit, I'll edit. Being an admin means I can edit, not that I understand every complex, semi-documented template on Commons. FWIW, Template:Rename/en, which I would have expected to edit, is just a redirect to Template:Rename/i18n. - Jmabel ! talk 16:34, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

@Jmabel, I tried but didn't succeed that time. Upon some more digging now, it looks like Template:Rename/layout is the one. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 17:21, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

Special:Diff/1195627456. Looks like that did it. - Jmabel ! talk 17:28, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

Maybe not. I'll leave three pings (with a sorry to bother) now. @Jeff G., @GPSLeo and @Krd, or anyone who can help. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 17:44, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

Rename request

I uploaded 23 images today, which can be seen in Category:United Kingdom photographs taken on 2026-04-09.

Through a moment's inattention, I have screwed up a mass rename, creating redirects from the wanted names, that I cannot now overwrite.

Instead of "West Midlands Metro Digbeth extension", all 23 file names should begin "West Midlands Metro Eastside extension". Can someone fix that, please? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:36, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

@Pigsonthewing, if I understand correctly, you want File:West Midlands Metro Digbeth extension - 2026-04 -09- Andy Mabbett - 02.jpg to become File:West Midlands Metro Eastside extension - 2026-04 -09- Andy Mabbett - 02.jpg which has now become redirect bcoz of the wrong moves. If this is the case, you can certainly switch the names yourself, file movers recently got delete-redirect for single revision redirect. And it can only be done while moving the page. (See the thread above). I just moved File:West Midlands Metro Digbeth extension - 2026-04 -09- Andy Mabbett - 01.jpg to File:West Midlands Metro Eastside extension - 2026-04 -09- Andy Mabbett - 01.jpg without retaining the previous name. Plz tell me if you need to retain the previous name and if I have done it the way you wanted. Then I'll do the rest or maybe you can ny yourself. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 15:27, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

The "MassRename tool gives an error: "An error occurred while trying to do the requested action. [...] The name you have specified exists. Choose a new name, please. Error @line194"

I have now tried manually and can rename the files, but not in bulk.

I'll do them manually, but thank you anyway. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:51, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

This section is resolved and can be archived. If you disagree, replace this template with your comment. All done. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:20, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Micro and nano view of gecko's toe.jpg is being compromised by a user who openly Revision #1195055007 brags about being a sockpuppet of Revision #1195055256 to manipulate discussions such as this. Borgenland (talk) 10:52, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

Borgenland, I have replaced the urls with {{Diff}} and mentioned the user names at the top to save the reviewing admin's time. I think both the accounts should be indeffed bcoz the person behind clearly thinks that it is completely ok to break the rules and openly brag about it. When I first saw Deletion Delayer openly naming Fita-cola dos dois lados on their userpage, I thought they might be doing it with an intent of framing Fcddl, but the DR comment (Revision #1195241727) made it easy as I hadn't check Global account info for other project status. ENWIKI has already confirmed these socks and indeffed DD. If it matters, I've blanked DD's userpage. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 11:09, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

Done both accounts indeffed per report at COM:AN/B by Jmabel. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 17:28, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

IPBE for my bot account

Hi. Can my bot account be granted IPBE? It seems Flickr is blocking API calls from Toolforge cluster in the form of rate limiting and thus I'll have to run it on my server. Thanks!
