overwriting 2500 svg-files, without description-change (bug-fix for renderissue) #83

I want to bug-fix a renderissue: phab:T36947 for more than 2500+[1] svg-files:

How can I overwrite the files without changing the description? If I try to upload a empty template I get "Error: empty template!". Can I create a spreadsheed that contains the actual description? If I reupload the same, wikimedia should not create new history-version if it is completely identical.) Or is it possible to upload files without description?

This issue is maybe related to: https://github.com/ritschwumm/commonist/issues/19

Please provide an reasonable upload for minor (but necessary) mass-bug-fix-edits, such as User_talk:JoKalliauer#Text_rendering

I solved it with Command-line_upload, which seems to be the right choice for such cases.

@JoKalliauer does your workaround through the API still work? Could you describe it in more detail?

JoKalliauer commented 4 years ago

@lgelauff I use

python /data/project/shared/pywikipedia/core/scripts/upload.py Test.svg -keep -ignorewarn -noverify -descfile "new version"

see

Thanks. Figured out that I got stuck on having a too young (bot)account , for overwriting permissions you need to be autoconfirmed.
