Detect and resolve files deleted on Wikimedia Commons

Opened this issue · 8 comments

There should be a system for coordinators to see if entries in a round were deleted on Wikimedia Commons. Jurors should not be shown deleted files.

This is kind of a tough one. It would be a big latency hit and a lot of API traffic to check every time we serve up an image. Maybe we can whip up a job we run for active rounds nightly as well as on demand?

@mahmoud how about showing this information to coordinators at the round creation time only and as part of issue #24 ?

This came up as an issue with Wiki Loves Africa 2016. Jurors could ignore or downvote deleted files, but it was a confusing user experience. It looked like a bug in Montage, since jurors were asked to vote on a blank page.

We could disqualify deleted files at the start, but it will still possibly come up later in the campaign too.

I see, slaporte. /me thinks.

@slaporte @mahmoud is the backend work for this done?

No, not yet!

(This issue just got a question on Commons here too.)

Montage should do this on import, too.
