Move to phabricator[edit]

Bugzilla has been replaced by Phabricator, so all languages need to reflect this. --Vera ^(talk) 22:24, 17 November 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Apparently all languages use phabricator: now, thanks. –Be..anyone (talk) 09:54, 4 December 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Just curious[edit]

Why does the Help link on the sidebar bring to mw.org, rather than here? --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 15:29, 22 August 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Had just a similar idea as this answer would likely have also helped Valereee... in 2022. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 18:30, 11 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Paradise Chronicle: That bug has been fixed within one week after this topic has been started; now the help link does point to this page in all languages. I don’t know what you mean by this answer having helped Valereee. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 11:55, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Is there a technical help forum, or a template help forum?[edit]

For example; see this post:

Template talk:Categorise#Need help with Category:Economic inequality and Category:War casualties

Making mobile friendly[edit]

I want to make this page more mobile friendly. I'm sure people here are more skilled at MediaWiki editing than me so was hoping one of you could help.

The main things I was thinking were:

Hiding the "other languages" box on mobile
Having the yellow and blue boxes laid out vertically on mobile

There's also a little discussion at https://github.com/commons-app/apps-android-commons/issues/2145

Yes this is super important if we want Commons to survive in the mobile age. Please someone make the yellow and blue boxes responsive. Thanks! Syced (talk) 04:45, 29 March 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

WP Commons - insertion of "View" and "Sort by" comboboxs as in the [loc.gov.[edit]

Two brief improving suggestions:

Wikimedia can introduce on WP Commons categories two users'option for visualization and sort by relevance and othere criteria indicated in the following lonk: [1]. It can improve furthermore the Readiness of WP Commons.
On images -and expecially art images- users can benefit from a layout like El Prado Museum gives

It rightly works now and can improve WP:Accessibility for people with disabilities or visual impairments. —Preceding unsigned comment was added by 94.38.238.48 (talk) 19:32, 1 May 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Not sure where to actually ask for help?[edit]

I've screwed up a crop and overwritten accidentally at [[2]], can anyone reverse? I can't figure out how. Thank you! Valereee (talk) 23:04, 27 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

My closest guess would be at the Commons:Help desk. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 18:56, 8 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Valereee: Your crop was reverted thanks to Jmabel. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ_{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 04:07, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Paradise Chronicle and Jeff G.: this was almost a year ago, and as Jeff notes, I dealt with it. - Jmabel ! talk 04:28, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you! I'd forgotten about it, but glad to know my screwup got fixed! Valereee (talk) 10:03, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
