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?
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.
Montage should do this on import, too.
