ShouldBeSVG

Wikimedia Commons contains a lot of medium and low quality raster charts, diagrams, and other images that would be better displayed using vector graphics. To indicate this, editors can apply {{Convert to SVG}} to the file description page to categorize the file in Category:Images that should use vector graphics. Some of the files in that category are used in dozens of places while others aren't at all. This task generates a series of reports that sort various Convert to SVG categories by global usage.

This task was previously performed by User:McTopot.

Reports

All times are UTC. The time indicated is the start time. Reports can take some time to run and are affected by load on the Toolforge grid. If a report has not run for two weeks, contact me on my talk page or file an issue.

Configuration

  • To prevent the bot from editing or analyzing pages, change User:AntiCompositeBot/ShouldBeSVG/Run to False. If you do this, please leave a message on my talk page explaining why.
  • The main configuration for ShouldBeSVG is stored at User:AntiCompositeBot/ShouldBeSVG/reports.json. Changing this file will affect what reports are available to the bot and what pages are affected.
  • The configuration for what report will be run at what time is stored in the code of ShouldBeSVG-helper.py. If there is no entry for a report in this file, the bot will not run the report.
  • The format of a report gallery is dependent on ShouldBeSVG.py. Additional information, categories, etc. should be placed above the comment line on the report gallery or it will be overwritten on the next run.

Running the bot

The bot runs three times a day from Toolforge. A cron job runs ShouldBeSVG-helper.py which determines which report should be run at that time. The helper then submits a job to the grid for that report. The cron entry is set for 02:11, 10:11, and 18:11 UTC in an attempt to avoid the high-load hourly and daily times. Only one report can be run at a time right now.

To run the bot manually, find the key for the report in the table above or in the configuration. Then run ShouldBeSVG.py <key> directly. Adding --simulate will print the output gallery to SDOUT instead of saving it.
