[Bug 23133] Write and implement Commons upload blacklist feature for Main Pages and other special pages
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23133 --- Comment #9 from Jeff G. 2011-02-12 19:33:01 UTC --- This bug relates to bug 18483, which shows that cascade protection, as currently implemented on English Wikipedia, is too slow to immediately protect local images placed on the Main Page because it uses the job queue. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

Solutions could include: cross-platform cascade protection; technical measures to prevent commits of edits to that page if any of the included images are not protected with edit=sysop and move=sysop or are not on English Wikipedia; technical measures to prevent display of any of the included images which are not protected with edit=sysop and move=sysop or are not on English Wikipedia; creation of a new right to edit that page; etc. > Currently, the only vandalism by non-admins that can happen there (the English Wikipedia Main Page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page ) is through images ... An unprotected image from Commons is used: a vandal uploads a replacement image on Commons. ... that page "has been viewed 167010381 times in the last 30 days." (an average of over 5.5 million hits per day) per http://stats.grok.se/en/latest/Main_Page . Another suggested solution on that request page is creating a new user group "Protectors" on Commons with right "Change protection levels and edit protected pages (protect)" to allow a non-admin bot (or one or more humans in case of bot failure) to apply the protection on Commons. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23133 --- Comment #6 from MZMcBride 2010-04-17 19:16:07 UTC --- (In reply to comment #4) > * Issue One: We already have file protection, you just need to ask someone at > the project to do it, what would you prefer a solution where you can protect > files remotely from another wiki? Dynamic content, like a Main Page's "In the news" section, makes this process very error-prone. The people updating the content need to always remember to ask someone on Commons to protect the image there, or they implement bad hacks like uploading the image locally and protecting it with a bot. There should be a way to have this seamless protection of the images. The original idea here is to prevent re-uploading of Commons images if they're used on designated pages (by checking the global image links table). Though, it seems others might be suggesting variations on this idea or completely different implementations altogether. That's not as important, the end result just needs to be some form of automated protection of this content. Something that doesn't rely on bots or people, something integrated into the software. > * Issue Two: When there is a local file and remote file, the local one already > takes precedent and is displayed, so what is the issue there? Using content from Commons directly (without uploading locally) leaves a breach in the security of the content. Requiring people to constantly upload locally is a broken hackish workaround. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23133 --- Comment #5 from Bryan Tong Minh 2010-04-17 11:53:46 UTC --- I don't think the bug report refers to being able to protect remote image from a local wiki. The request is to have a feature, using which Commons admins can protect files that are embedded on a certain remote page. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

Absolutely. I was thinking of a special page where you enter a wiki and a page title and then have all images on that page automatically protected.
