Programming language(s): AWB / WPCleaner

Source code available:

Function overview: Remove small tags from image description.

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): WP:NOSTRIKE. Image description text is already smaller. Adding a small tag causes the text to be smaller than 85%. This goes against accessibility guidelines.

Edit period(s): Daily

Estimated number of pages affected: xx pages per day.

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: Detect and remove small tag and/or template from image descriptions. -- Magioladitis (talk) 00:24, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Detect and remove small tags (Text) and templates ({{small|Text}}) that wrap around image ([[Image:Cat|options|Text]] or [[File:) description field. Example, Example:

[[Image:Example.jpg|thumb|Example]] → [[Image:Example.jpg|thumb|Example]]

[[Image:Example.jpg|thumb|{{small|Example}}]] → [[Image:Example.jpg|thumb|Example]]

Any other fields are preserved untouched:

This can remove double tag:

[[Image:Example.jpg|thumb|Example]] → [[Image:Example.jpg|thumb|Example]]

This does not alter mixed formatting:

This doesn't alter captions that aren't rendered (no thumb or frame options):

[[Image:Example.jpg|Example]] → [[Image:Example.jpg|Example]]

[[Image:Example.jpg|frameless|Example]] → [[Image:Example.jpg|frameless|Example]]

This does not modify images in <gallery>...</gallery>:.

Discussion[edit]

Support. This is a serious accessibility issue. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 00:31, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Will it also look for {{small}}? How are we finding pages that need these fixes? Is the task exclusion compliant? — MusikAnimal ^talk 01:55, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Please add an example to function details (including, if you are also fixing {{small}} or something like  or <div style="font-size:small">). I don't see any issues otherwise. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 22:57, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

MusikAnimal, Hellknowz the current script does not look for font/div tags nor for {{small}} templates. It searchs only for small tag. Should I add it? This will require CHECKWIKI / AWB to be both updated. So I need further consensus to add these two suggestions? -- Magioladitis (talk) 09:34, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You don't need to add them if you don't want to, they aren't any sort of requirement; though I imagine users have thought of various weird ways to modify the size. Still wanting full function details, including an example. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 12:35, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hellknowz added example. -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:16, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hellknowz This is error 66 of CHECKWIKI and was approved before in Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Yobot 16 and in Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/MenoBot 4. -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:17, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hellknowz I added something for small templates. These are not still detected by CHECKWIKI. We need to add this. Thanks for the heads up. -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:20, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I expanded the function details (to what I would expect them to contain) -- please confirm that the bot does/doesn't do the things listed and what it does instead or in addition, if anything. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 14:12, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hellknowz Wow. Thanks. The bot will do all fo them and won't affect the caption if it contains small tag/template in only a portion of it. The bot works with both File/Image. -- Magioladitis (talk) 00:21, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This sounds good. I still am interested in how the bot will identify pages that need these fixes. Will it do a normal AWB thing and pick a category, going page to page until it finds these errors? Why are we limiting it to two pages a day when this could be done continuously, as needed, along with any other approved Yobot fixes? — MusikAnimal ^talk 22:32, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

MusikAnimal I take the pages via CHECKWIKI daily lists, WPCleaner bi-weekly lists and CHECKWIKI monthly lists. This is the average amount of pages we get. after Hellknowz's very useful comments probably there are more pages. I can assk Bgwhite or someone else to help me generate a list of pages to fix. -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:53, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

MusikAnimal Me and Bgwhite have been very efficient till now fixing those that the monthly report Wikipedia:CHECKWIKI/066 dump was always no pages since July 2016 when we added this error in our monthly report. I left a comment here so the detection is expanded: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Check_Wikipedia#Image_description_with_full_small. -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:56, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Magioladitis: What is the status of adding support for {{small}}? I'm OK with just looking for ... for now, but if wanted to add {{small}} it'd be nice to bundle that into the trial — MusikAnimal ^talk 18:03, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
MusikAnimal I added the fix but no pages are detected yet. I had not the chance to run a database scan for this. In fact, due to my internet limitations by databases scan is totally depended on CHECKWIKI. -- Magioladitis (talk) 18:18, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Could you link me to these CHECKWIKI lists? The one you mentioned above, Wikipedia:CHECKWIKI/066 dump, is empty — MusikAnimal ^talk 22:54, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this one plus this one for the daily fixes. -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:56, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

MusikAnimal I wonder if you could help in generating lists for this one. -- Magioladitis (talk) 02:09, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 14:45, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

MusikAnimal Can you help with the list generation? -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:16, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not too familiar with this system of generating lists so I may not be of much help, sorry! — MusikAnimal ^talk 15:32, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn by operator. CHECKWIKI is most probably shutting down. -- Magioladitis (talk) 11:32, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
