Hi Dispenser,
For categories in Category:Ships by IMO number, it would be interesting to have a page that links to various websites about ships that can be queried by IMO number, similar to booksources or the coordinates page. I made a request for a page similar to booksources in bugzilla, but it seems that it's unlikely to happen. Thus I was wondering if you would set one up on toolserver. -- Docu at 07:43, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
&withjs=
on the links. This would make editing, adding features, and maintenance easier and more reliable. Plus, it'll be implemented a lot sooner. You might need to pass the script off as a gadget to get it into the MediaWiki namespace. —Dispenser (talk) 03:22, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]/* [[Commons:IMO sources]]

Could you please create a pair of subpages and give the full lists of effected files for the errors you brought to the village pump? Thanks! Sven Manguard Wha? 15:27, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Could you please update the list if this is no big deal. (I cleared some percent of all files and they could be deleted from this list "automatically"). --McZusatz (talk) 17:32, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Dispenser. What happened here? The image was working fine before, and File:The Naval Temple, at The Kymin, Monmouth 2.jpg was uploaded in the same minute yet doesn't exhibit any problem? Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 19:15, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

av_interleaved_write_frame()
affected files (11%) as it might be an implementation issue. A few interesting tid bits: the software upscales 240p ogg to 360p webm, the transcoding timestamps can be used for load and CPU time graphs, 26,969 video files. —Dispenser (talk) 07:42, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]Could you please do another update of your sandbox.

errors are still appearing despite bug 46795 claiming it was fixed.

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changesorRecent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. --McZusatz (talk) 14:09, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Dispenser,
Long time since I looked into this. It seems that finally someone else is working on them, see Template_talk:Location#10k_files_in_Category:Pages_with_malformed_coordinate_tags
BTW, the report at https://toolserver.org/~dispenser/logs/coord-commonswiki.log worked on the 26, but displays an error message today. Maybe it just needs re-starting. -- Docu at 11:14, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]Kannst du die Liste bitte noch einmal aktualisieren? --McZusatz (talk) 19:11, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This list looks really amazing. How did you create it? It seems for me that a lot of CPU cycles were consumed to achive this. --McZusatz (talk) 15:10, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
zip -9
, jpegtran -copy all
, and unrar l
before printing the results. It takes about 4 hours to run the first time. I'll publish the source code later. We still need to figure out what's bloating the other files. —Dispenser (talk) 16:17, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]Exif: Compression scheme Uncompressed Data arrangement chunky format Color space Uncalibrated

Some programs and/or users save PNG files in a uncompressed way. (BMP-like compression). I would appreciate it, if you forged a query to find all PNGs which loose at least ~20% file size by recompression. --McZusatz (talk) 18:21, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Do you know TweakPNG? You can use this tool to look into suspicious PNG files. From what I see none of these files is harmful or dangerous. They just contain some unused chunks. For example, this file was made with Adobe Fireworks and contains all information needed to recreate the image with Adobe Fireworks (which can be good and should not be dropped). A PNG optimizer drops this stuff. Our image scaler does the same. All non-original image sizes don't contain these chunks. Therefor it's pretty much a waste of time to optimize these images. Very few users are downloading the original image size anyway. --TMg 13:54, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dispenser. This this is similar to your current GIF check, so I was wondering if you would be able to produce a report of TIFFs that fail to render previews because the file is above the current megapixel limit ($wgMaxImageArea is currently set to 50MP). This is affecting some of my uploads, and I'd like to see how widespread the issue is. Thanks! Dominic (talk)
Hello. Because of [Wikisource-l] archive.org switched to ABBYY FineReader 9.0, I'd like to have a list of all DjVu files on Commons (but also Wikisources if one wanted) which link to an archive.org item as their source, ideally split in two lists: 1) DjVu files used on some Wikisource, but with some Page: pages missing (this means the old text was not yet completely copied to wiki pages), 2) DjVu files not yet used on any Wikisource. Can you help with this? If I had a list of item,filename pairs I could rerun the OCR on archive.org and then update our copy of the files. --Nemo 07:45, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Do you know why File:Wikimania 2011 - Statistical analysis and MediaWiki development.ogv does not appear in the list? --McZusatz (talk) 22:31, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, just wondering about something, sorry if this isn't the ideal place to ask; it seemed like this is somewhere you're relatively active.
There's a tool over on toolserver, embeddedincount, that looks like it was yours. It's used in the {{high-risk}} templates on en.wn and en.wb. We've been switching such links over from toolserver to wmflabs, of course, but as best I can tell, that tool doesn't have a wmflabs equivalent. Do you know of an equivalent that exists, or that you or anyone else plans to create? --Pi zero (talk) 20:20, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, could you please update the list. I am working on it, and a lot of files have already been renamed. Thanks in advance, Yann (talk) 23:27, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]Hi! I'm writing to let you know that I have implemented most of your suggestions from Special:Diff/228880645. I haven't changed coefficients for videos because current values IMO work quite well.

Hi, Could you please make a list of small (160p to 480p) failed video transcodes? Thanks in advance, Yann (talk) 20:08, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Anyway, the backlog is: 70,453 failed video transcodes for audio files, 316 failed audio transcodes for video files, and 991 video files with various failed transcodes. I was able to manually clear out some of these with the reset button. —Dispenser (talk) 05:34, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, could you avoid running recent change bots on #wikimedia-commons? The channel is for discussion, and though manually driven bot queries are sometimes useful, it's not normally the right place for bots which may report several times per hour, as that could be more frequent than user discussion in a day. You may wish to think about promoting a recent changes channel.
If you think I'm getting this wrong, I suggest assessing consensus for it in-channel first, or running a poll for a few days about it. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 14:46, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dispenser,
As you raised the issue of bitmaps embedded in SVG before, I just thought you might like to know that there are relief maps which are almost completely embedded bitmaps, e.g. File:USA_Hawaii_relief_location_map.svg. I added your template but was reverted with "there is no other way to have a relief map as a svg".

Can you run User:Dispenser/Double extension again? I know you normally do it monthly but I just fixed about 2,000 yesterday but didn't track which ones I fixed, so now I've blurred in fixed and non-fixed ones. ~riley (talk) 22:35, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Dispenser! I ran your SQL script on Quarry and moved a ton of files into the category of animated gif.
