New system message for UploadWizard

Hi all! This is a request for interface admins: we're working on a specific message for when users upload medias with a wrong title, that would appear as a pop-up message when clicking on a specific link.

We would like to create a specific system message, maybe called MediaWiki:Titleblacklist-custom-filename-short, that only shows the examples for good and bad names taken from MediaWiki:Titleblacklist-custom-filename. The reason for this is that the full text is too long to be shown in a pop-up, and may cause that the user won't read it.

Is it possible to do so? Thanks in advance. Sannita (WMF) (talk) 14:30, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to not show the other information in that message, to be honest… do you maybe have some mockups or something similar (perhaps on Phabricator) to see what this would look like? Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 15:58, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Mockup of new dialog message for wrong title of UploadWizard

@Lucas Werkmeister: hi, sorry for taking this long to answer, on the right you can find the mockup of the potential message. Sannita (WMF) (talk) 13:34, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

@Sannita (WMF): That looks ok, but doesn't mention the parentheses in the background. Will those be accepted? How about other matched delimiters like square brackets, braces, and quotes? Other punctuation?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 14:05, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

@Jeff G. We are only copying the existing examples in MediaWiki:Titleblacklist-custom-filename into the example (maybe not all of them in this mockup, but still this is the idea). Sannita (WMF) (talk) 15:30, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Thinking about the implementation for a moment – I’m guessing MediaWiki:Titleblacklist would need to gain support for something like |errmsg-short= in addition to |errmsg=? Or do you want to hard-code “|errmsg= + "-short"” as the title of the short message? Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 18:19, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Template:Trademarked

The Russian translation of the template begins as follows: "Это произведение содержит материал, который может быть субъектом законов о товарных знаках в одной или нескольких юрисдикциях". I suggest it amended because 'субъект' denotes 'person' in Russian legal language while trademarks are by no means persons.

Proposed version: "Это произведение содержит материалы, которые могут подпадать под действие законов о товарных знаках в одной или нескольких юрисдикциях". Ur frnd (talk) 09:35, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

@Ur frnd: you can directly edit Template:Trademarked/ru and change it to your proposed version since it's not protected. —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - _uselesscontributions} 17:25, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you,  Done. Ur frnd (talk) 18:08, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

File:Anatoly Berezin with his son, 1976.jpg

I request to restore this file, because here on the website of the museum: https://mrkm.ru/novosti/k-90-letiyu-anatoliya-ivanovicha-berezina/?sphrase_id=8151. It says that all materials of the website are covered by Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license. FlorianH76 (talk) 18:04, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

to get a file undeleted, please file a request at RFU. That is where we process undeletion reqests.

All the best -- Chuck ^Talk 23:18, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

Copyupload-allowed-domains requests

Problem with DelReqHandler

I wasn't sure whether to address the problem here or at COM:VPT, but since it's about a script only admins use, I'll ask here.

Simply put, at some point today DelReqHandler stopped working for me, and I don't get any Keep or Delete links on deletion request pages anymore. It was still working yesterday, when I was closing DRs and deleting files. And I don't remember missing the links earlier today when posting new DRs.

At first I thought I had somehow misadjusted my web browser, but I've tried three different web browsers now, also with all extensions disabled, and it still won't work. And yes, I've enabled the gadget, in fact I've disabled and re-enabled it.

Is DelReqHandler still working for everybody else? I noticed that a new MediaWiki Version was deployed to Commons today (COM:VPT#Tech News: 2024-21). Could that be a cause for my problems? --Rosenzweig τ 20:32, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Per Special:Version#mw-version-software and mw:MediaWiki 1.43/Roadmap, Mediawiki 1.43.0-wmf.6 was installed at "all non-Wikipedia sites" (that includes Commons) today. --Rosenzweig τ 20:44, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

The not / done links from UndelReq (at Commons:Undeletion requests/Current requests) are gone too. --Rosenzweig τ 20:47, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

It's broken for me as well. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 20:54, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

I did some more testing, and apparently something else also mentioned at COM:VPT, mw:Heading HTML changes, is the culprit. My usual skin is Monobook, and after changing that to Vector (2010 or 2022) or MinervaNeue, the links were back. Going back to Monobook, they vanished again. It appears the affected scripts need changes, because the other skins will follow suit with these heading changes. There's a whole thread at phabricator:T13555, but that's too technical for me. --Rosenzweig τ 22:49, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Can confirm, broken for me too. Affected is the monobook skin, which I use and prefer, in Vector it works. Don't know if phabricator:T13555 is the correct ticket for this.--Wdwd (talk) 12:29, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

+1 for me. I tested this issue on Chrome and Firefox. Monobook and Timeless are affected. It works on all other skins. Yann (talk) 16:33, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Per the TechNews (linked above) Timeless, Modern, CologneBlue, Nostalgia, and Monobook are affected. Though I'm not sure if you can even still select the middle three. --Rosenzweig τ 16:37, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Same problem for me (using Monobook; also with Timeless). --Túrelio (talk) 07:58, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Is anyone knowledgeable enough to change these two scripts in a way that they will work with these heading HTML changes? Those changes are announced for the rest of the skins as well, so both scripts will break for everyone at some point. --Rosenzweig τ 17:42, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
