== Migration of technical contents ==
Hello all, Please help migrate technical contents from the main [[LinguaLibre:Chat room]] to here. [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 18:49, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

== 2021 Github refreshing : call for volunteers and discussion ==
:''See also [https://github.com/lingua-libre Github.com/lingua-libre]''
Hello all,<br>
Since November 2020 there is an ongoing effort to clean up, document, fix the 11 github repositories upon which LinguaLibre.org stands. A summary is available on [[LinguaLibre:Chat_room|the main forum]] and will be migrated here shortly. This section will focus on gathering users with development skills and discuss about possible fields of action (repositories). We especially look for '''Bot Masters (Python, NodeJS)''', '''Sparql expert''', '''VueJS''' developpers, issues coordinators. [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 15:57, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

== Early 2021 codings : Wikivalley & volunteers communication board !==
WikiValley have been selected to make a notable technical push on the LinguaLibre Suite where volunteer developers are not enough. They will coordinate with volunteers developers in order to smooth everyone's work, avoid duplicate efforts and git conflicts. The ''Start'', ''End'', and '''Repositories''' columns below are especially important, please keep them up to date, respect them, or change them whenever required. If you need to work on a repository under work, contact the developer listed there and organize as needed. Our objective here is to keep clarity and to progress smoothly. Please avoid emails and prefer communicating here within subsections so we can all be somehow aware of how are things going. [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 15:56, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
:Note: Volunteers started working around in December. WikiValley around Feb. 11th. [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 15:56, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

== User box ? ==
{{#babel:records-mar|mar-N|cmn-1}}
It may be cool to create an userbox "dev" {{tl|userbox-dev}}, on the model of {{tl|userbox-records}}, with Python, Javascript, PHP, VueJS, Wikimedia Bot as specific sub-categorization ? [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 15:59, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
: I kinda disagree with that. Lingua Libre is not meant to become a hub for techies. Sure, we need all the help that comes, yet the only usecase I foresee for these userboxes would be in the event something goes bad and we need someone with the good skills to take care of that. But, since it has to be added by oneself on one's user page, the same can be said of the page where we list who does what (I don't recall how it's called). Which one of these two 'systems" should be kept? --[[User:Poslovitch|Poslovitch]] ([[User talk:Poslovitch|talk]]) 21:53, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
::In term of community I see ourselves as somewhere inbetween Wikipedia and Wikidata communities. We mainly deal with singleton : audio files, which are data units. People come, do a more or less powerful recording contributions, then sharply reduce their involvement and leave thousands files units here.
::And like Wikidata, we need people giving life to these data units. This is done via reuse, bots, webapps, text-to-speech. Developers' creations.
::So yes, developers have to become an important piece of our community. And we would gain to create some active dynamic gathered around languages and projects (repositories). [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 22:30, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

== Datasets has become super slow ? ==
I try to interpret and understand how /datasets are generate.
* On April 2020, French dataset of about 100,000 audios is processed in '''51 minutes'''.
* On February 2021, Bengali dataset of about 50,000 audios is processed in '''18 hours'''.

What do I miss ? [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 00:09, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

: IMO, this can only be investigated through the logs. Maybe the requests to Commons are taking a longer time than they used to? Maybe the datasets server is under higher load (thus slowing it)? We need you, Michaël! --[[User:Poslovitch|Poslovitch]] ([[User talk:Poslovitch|talk]]) 21:41, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
::{{Ping|Poslovitch}} could it be that the script upload the "never uploaded yet" ? If so, the April 2020 French dataset was just the 3000 recent French audios whereas Feb 2021 Bengali dataset was like "Yo, there are the 50,000 bengali audio, deal with it B)" [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 22:24, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
:::{{Ping|Yug}} that might be it. I still don't fully understand what the script does and, well, we can say the documentation is clearly lacking there. I'm working on that too - but yeah, that might be why it's taking more time. We should let it run for a first time, and then force another dataset update a few days later so we can compare both. --[[User:Poslovitch|Poslovitch]] ([[User talk:Poslovitch|talk]]) 22:38, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

== Phabricator task priority ==
Hi {{u|Poslovitch}} and {{u|Yug}}. I saw you set priority levels to some Phabricator tasks ([[phab:T264117|T264117]], [[phab:T251866|T251866]], etc.). As already discussed quickly with Yug, I tink we should not decide by ourselves what is the priority of a bug report except if you claimed the report. The priority of the task should be discussed during Lingua Libre meeting gathering several people because what is you think is important may be less to me (and vice-versa). This is highly subjective and I do not see the benefits to set some priority if it has not been discussed collectively before. In addition, IMHO, it cannot be used to drive the WikiValley & VIGNERON's job because they are linked by their contract with WMFr, so if they want to work on additional bug report (not listed in the scope statement), then they will choose by themselves. So please, stop to change the priority or at least let us discuss that collectively before. [[User:Pamputt|Pamputt]] ([[User talk:Pamputt|talk]]) 09:14, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
:Hi Pamputt, there is no will to dictate what WikiValley & VIGNERON have to do, we are two parallel teams, with different relations to the project. It would help if WikiValley or Wikimedia FR clarifies on phabricator via a tag which tasks WikiValley will take on so we, volunteers, may focus on OTHERS tasks. Be it code or community organization (Wiki Meet India coming).
:Still, we volunteers are active ''now'' and we need to sort these tasks better <u>for ourselves</u>, so we see better, and act where we can.
:Volunteers should not have to decipher and enter dozens tasks to understand what they are about, the task feasibility and importance. With lack of assessment we loose clarity, time and reduce our impact. We are volunteers. Volunteering, yes. But we must make the tasks easier to jump in and ''CODE/ACT''. No assessment is perfect, and any assessment can be bypassed. So since Poslovitch, myself, and other are diving into these tasks, let's share our assessments if we have any view on it, reword the 1/3 not-so-transparent task titles and descriptions, group them as needed, and improve as we can. Common wiki clean up as we go. And each adult takes the task(s) he wants following his need, naturally.
:As for myself, I made a push to organize task by column, then group by scope-and-repositories, and put most feasible scopes up, less feasible down. I will stop my cleaning today to focus on other things shortly. [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 10:28, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
::Hi. I understand that you can be worried by the fact this triage '''seems''' sudden. And it actually is. Most tasks were left untriaged for months, while common project management practices (at least the ones I follow for years now) call for a preliminary triage based on the "Urgent/Not urgent" & "Important/Not important" criteria (I think it's called the "Decision Matrix"). A task is deemed "'''Urgent'''" if it is a task, if left uncompleted, which is or would severely impede or even block the fulfilling of '''the project's ''main goal''''' ; it is deemed "'''Important'''" if its completion contributes to improve or complete '''the project's ''capabilities'' to fulfil its ''mission(s)'''''. These are simple "Yes/No" questions that help provide a quick assessment of the priority of the task. And in most cases (out of my own experiences), this method gives the right priority. The slight "difference" between "main goal" and "mission(s)" is well defined for Lingua Libre; which is why I could do that assessment.
::However, I think you're wrong on the fact that the guy who assigned ''himself'' to the task should evaluate its priority. Unless he's applying the decision matrix, he would obviously be biased about it, don't you think?
::Yet, I personally kept myself from triaging issues on which I was not knowledgeable enough yet. But these issues should be triaged ASAP.
::Finally: no, triaging is not a way to "force" Vigneron and WikiValley to work on stuff they aren't contractually meant to. That is, unless a specific task actually blocks them in their work, or is somehow linked to what they're doing or whatever. As Yug put it, triaging is one the first steps to help us '''and''' other volunteers to finally grasp the work that's to be done - without getting lost at the first glance.
::It's not meant to be perfect, and it must be refined. But that would only be the case of a handful of tasks. Not all of them. --[[User:Poslovitch|Poslovitch]] ([[User talk:Poslovitch|talk]]) 12:07, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

== Ratelimit still an issue for our users ==
:''See also [[LinguaLibre:User rights#User rights on Commons]]''
Following review of Phabricator tasks, Pamputt & myself discussed <code>ratelimit</code>. It came back to me that we do have to warn our new users of this 380 upload/72mins issues. I wanted to see if our new users bumped into this wall without us knowing, so I examined closely the stream of Olaf, who made 1000+ recording today.
:23:10-23:11: 23 
:22:54-23:08: 280
:22:19-22:25: 61
:[13mins pause here]
:20:52-21:06: 222    Note: 222+158=380
:[17mins pause here]
:20:26-20:35: 158
:[16mins pause here]
:20:09-20-10: 18     Note: 361+18=379
:19:14-19:58: 361
I find those numbers suspiciously close to the ratelimit. So I'am pretty confident Olaf runs into this upload fails, just found a workaround : he make pauses. Point is, we must notice our emerging active users better about this issue. I now inform users who made at at least one session with 100+ recordings with :

== Poslovitch is now Lingua Libre Bot's operator ==
Thanks to Michaël, I now have access to the bot's account and will be able to test any changes made to its code. However, I'm wondering whether I have to "redo" the various bot agreements on the wikis or not. They were approved when 0x010C was the bot's operator, and now it's me - at least for a year, but it's definitely going to change again at some point -. So... What should be done ? --[[User:Poslovitch|Poslovitch]] ([[User talk:Poslovitch|talk]]) 16:42, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

== CSS : [[Mediawiki:Common.css]] and [https://github.com/lingua-libre/BlueLL/tree/master/assets/stylesheets BlueLL stylesheets] ==
More I dig, more I find tiny CSS bugs all around. Today I noticed the ''Table of Content'' (TOC) of each page has its bullets too far on the left. I think the original designer's intent was to have no bullet. I also found out [[:File:2018-11_Lingua_Libre_meeting.jpg#Summary|images' description content]] is screwed. Tables there also did not have border, because a css rule affecting both classes <code>.toc</code> and <code>.commons-file-information-table</code> had been netralized to remove the border on TOCs. I fixed it a bit, restoring border on <code>.commons-file-information-table</code>. We likely have more CSS bugs on various pages and sections.

PS: I'am starting a wikislow for some time in order to push IRL, non-wikimedia issues. This past months I joined others to push on Github general cleanup, SignIt fix, Wiki Meet India, Lingualibre:Events, the Technical board creation, [[LinguaLibre:Bot]], the ratelimit investigation above and a phabricator medium clean up. Most are stable by now but LinguaLibre:Bot page and the ratelimit issue are still to monitor closely. Help therefore welcome on these 2.

== Testing the bot in "live" conditions ==
Yesterday, from 8 PM to midnight (UTC+1), I ran a test. The bot has this feature called "live mode": it adds the recordings in near-real time to Wikidata and Wiktionaries. And I must say it was both impressive and efficient. From what I can see now, it only missed a handful (~15) of recordings out of 899 recordings that were/could be added to either Wikidata or Wiktionaries. And, in all, it handled 2407 recordings. It crashed 4 times, each one of them being caused by Windows and not by an issue in the bot's code. What a satisfying sight seeing all of that happen!

While I would like to use the bot in this "live mode" from now on, we must weigh the pros and cons of this feature. The fact it was not used so far indicates that either 0x010C or the LL community was not ready for it at that time. I'm especially interested in knowing if this has caused an increased load on the BlazeGraph (it shouldn't have). With the bot's (planned) expanding capabilities, it might become more practical to us to have it run all the time in the background.

Finally, since I'm working on [[phab:T274511]], I believe we could run the bot on this "live mode", and, each month, we could setup the bot to go through all the recordings, starting from the very beginning of LL. Alongside catching any "left-overs", this would have plenty of benefits:
1. put the recordings (even the oldest ones) on the Wiktionaries that will become served by the bot in the following months (e.g. the Kurdish Wiktionary)
2. put the oldest recordings on pages that maybe didn't exist at that time on the Wiktionaries/Wikidata
3. force contributors to report erroneous recordings, so that we can remove them. If they fail to do that, the recordings will be added again at the bot's next pass.

In the meantime, I'll keep doing tests with the bot. 

This is probably something that I should've put on the Chat room - tell me if should. --[[User:Poslovitch|Poslovitch]] ([[User talk:Poslovitch|talk]]) 11:05, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

== Lists : via Bot or RecordWizard implementation ?==
:''This conversation follows the creation of [[User:Olafbot]], the first user-created boot account. It inits both technical and bot policy questions.''
Yes, it was me :-) I'm trying to use the OAuth authentication in my code to be able to generate lists I wrote about, and refresh them automatically in Lingua Libre. I hope using a bot for this is not against the rules here. The lists, generated for 50 languages, will consist of words without recorded pronunciation (including pronunciation from other sources in Commons, not only LiLi), and will be sorted by the number of wiktionaries with a corresponding language section describing this word (not just a number of interwikis). From my experience, this approach produces long stable lists of lemmas, more useful in Wiktionary context than the classic frequency lists, which tend to cover 20k lemmas at most, usually include inflected forms, and are of poor quality or non-existing for most of the languages. 

BTW, there are as many as 185000 recordings in French, but still many basic words have no French recording at all, for example, "centreuropéen" or "Grégoire", because everybody records "eau" and "chien". It looks like a waste of time of many people. In fact, only 2/3 of French lemmas in Polish Wiktionary have the pronunciation recorded, even if we have just 26000 French lemmas. It's much worse in the case of less covered languages. I believe the lack of regularly refreshed lists of needed audio is a major block. Let me fix this first.

In general, I'm not good at Python. I use Java, JavaScript, and TypeScript every day at work, but I tried Python only once or twice in AI competitions on Kaggle.com. I would need probably a lot of learning to be able to contribute to your bot. Maybe in the future... [[User:Olaf|Olaf]] ([[User talk:Olaf|talk]]) 01:14, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
:Hello {{ping|Olaf}},
:'''Missing recordings:''' Thank you for attacking this "missing gaps" issues. It's indeed a topic of concern for us all, Wikt and LL. While we have 109 languages, only 22 have 2000 audios or more. Most languages approach recording sessions on a easy-peasy ''by topics of interest'' approach, more pleasant to the speaker. This cause very irregular coverage and leaves numerous gaps hard to fill. Leveraging frequency lists such UNILEX is a first response : it adds relevant priority for general usages, assessed by ''« online corpora's frequency »''. Having lists of missing audios would be an other spot-on response. Your priority assessment ''« sorted by the number of wiktionaries with a corresponding language section describing this word »'' is likely of similar general relevance and higher wikt's relevance.
:'''Bots policy ?:''' We currently have no policy on bots, we are leading by practice (Poslovitch, you) and building on the way. As long as you test respectfully it's ok I guess. Tips: Administrators have some batch revert tool if the need arises. :) There is also a [https://github.com/kanasimi/wikiapi WikiAPI JS bot] raising, which could be interesting for you to explore if you like JS more. The maintainer is highly active and added a suggested new function within 24hours, [https://github.com/kanasimi/wikiapi/issues/7 was impressive].
:'''Lists types:''' If you want to propose recording lists to users, there are two different approach :
:* Canonical lists : Japanese JLPT, Chinese HSK, SWADESH, UNILEX frequency lists. → create a List:{iso}/{list name}. Referent: Yug
:* Dynamic lists : Places near your, Category:Fruit on English wikipedia, etc. → create a Sparql query. Referents: VIGNERON (Sparql) then Poslovich (implementation on github).
:'''RecordWizard queries button ?:''' I'am not sure, but your project may be more in line with dynamic lists fetched via Sparql queries. It would take few months but we can head toward adding a <code style="background-color:#FFAA0066;">Record words without pronunciation</code> button to the RecordingWizard ([https://github.com/lingua-libre/RecordWizard github]), when we load a list.
:'''Lists policies ?:''' ''Canonical lists'' vs ''Dynamic lists'' have been a long de facto complementarity duo within RecordWizard's list system. This distinction now emerges as a needed policy, to be honest. As I'am keeping an eyes on Marathi lists (62and growing, mainly mini-lists and likely one-shoots), it becomes clear that we will have to put in place some better practices, guidelines, and mentoring of new users for lists creation. [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 10:45, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
::Does the dynamic list require a category in some wiki? Then I'm afraid they are not suitable for my purpose, because there is probably no single wiki that would contain all the words from the list. I planned to just set the bot to rebuild a static list every night, just like I do in the case of [https://pl.wiktionary.org/wiki/Kategoria:Rankingi_brakuj%C4%85cych_s%C5%82%C3%B3w_wed%C5%82ug_wyst%C4%85pie%C5%84_w_innych_wikis%C5%82ownikach lists of missing lemmas in Polish Wiktionary], I must only succeed with the untypical authentication used by the LiLi wiki. Yes, the new button would be a good thing. Currently, there is a button "Remove words already recorded" in the Record Wizard, but it removes only words recorded by the current speaker. [[User:Olaf|Olaf]] ([[User talk:Olaf|talk]]) 12:04, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
::: If the button were in place, I would just produce the lists once (all lemmas sorted with non-LiLi recordings removed) and would rely on the new mechanics to remove automatically audios recorded in LiLi. The lists could be refreshed once a month or never. From my perspective, it would be a better solution, because the data would be more up-to-date. So, I believe the question in the header of this section is mock - the two solutions are not opposite, they complement each other. Moreover, the "button" solution alone won't provide good sorting and a good corpus of lemmas. [[User:Olaf|Olaf]] ([[User talk:Olaf|talk]]) 12:35, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
::::Note that there is a [[phab:T231559|feature request]] to ask for a button not to record words already recorded by any speaker (not only you).
::::About the list you want to generate, it is indeed very interesting, even if they are "dynamic". I remember that Lingua Libre has several goals. One of them is to provide missing recordings for Wiktionaries or Wikidata lexeme. Another one is to provide several recordings for a same word in order to show the diversity of pronunciation depending of locutor location. So whatever the lists you produce, they will be useful to deserve one of this goal. So go ahead :) [[User:Pamputt|Pamputt]] ([[User talk:Pamputt|talk]]) 16:48, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
::::: Yes, the button for removing already recorded words would be a big step ahead for the project. What about the existing recordings in Commons, that were created with other tools than LiLi? Perhaps you could update your database with those recordings? I don't need it, because my bot adds them anyway in Polish Wiktionary, but perhaps your bot, and anybody who downloads the LiLi datasets, would have a larger base of recordings? [[User:Olaf|Olaf]] ([[User talk:Olaf|talk]]) 20:46, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
So I created a few lists just to gather the feedback:
* [[List:Ben/Lemmas-without-audio-sorted-by-number-of-wiktionaries]]
* [[List:Deu/Lemmas-without-audio-sorted-by-number-of-wiktionaries]]
* [[List:Eng/Lemmas-without-audio-sorted-by-number-of-wiktionaries]]
* [[List:Epo/Lemmas-without-audio-sorted-by-number-of-wiktionaries]]
* [[List:Fra/Lemmas-without-audio-sorted-by-number-of-wiktionaries]]
* [[List:Hin/Lemmas-without-audio-sorted-by-number-of-wiktionaries]]
* [[List:Spa/Lemmas-without-audio-sorted-by-number-of-wiktionaries]]
* [[List:Ukr/Lemmas-without-audio-sorted-by-number-of-wiktionaries]]
Enjoy! Any opinions are welcome. However, the lists are not refreshed daily yet, I must still work out the authentication. In the end, there should be at least 30 lists. [[User:Olaf|Olaf]] ([[User talk:Olaf|talk]]) 03:20, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

I expected to use Petscan queries, but the idea of having a bot updating lists would be kinda interesting.

:: Perfect. It would be nice to have the list feature integrated with RecordWizard. I'm not sure what exactly are you going to implement, however, if you plan to do something similar, it takes a considerable amount of time to scan 150 wiktionaries for lemmas, so I believe the lists should be at least partially prepared before the user clicks the button.

** I'm not the operator, but I believe eventually the LiLi bot will add them.

<!-- I will come back later on this one !
With Olaf's Wikt lists, my UNILEX lists, and existing Sparql queries we start to have very solid, systematic, relevant and widely multilingual list support. Some maturation still on the way as well as a mediawiki update. But after that which can be used as a resting period of several weeks we could think about a coordinated outreach campaign.

== Remove duplicates bug ==
Hi, I already mentioned that the Remove duplicates feature has a bug. For some records, they are not removed. For example, I recorded [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:LL-Q143_(epo)-Lepticed7-aprilo.wav aprilo] four times. And I just found why : just before recording this word for the fourth time, I checked if it existed. There was no Q-element with this name, and the Blazegraph request doesn’t find anything. I recorded ''aprilo''. And by checking again, the item is now foundable. But it was not created today, only updated. So I checked why : [https://lingualibre.org/index.php?title=Q71505&diff=458373&oldid=356456 check the diff]. The record wizard is case sensitive, but somehow, if an element already existed with a different case, this element is updated, instead of creating a new one.

== List size ? ==
How do we handle very large lists ? Some sources we are starting to use are 50,000 or 100,000 items. How large can the Record Wizard handle the load ? In term of UX, human well being, shouldn't we limit recording session to max=1000 or max=2000 ? I worry loading and displaying 2000+ or 10,000+ items contains an annoying "infinite scroll", "you are drowning under water" effect. Whereas smaller, max=1000 items contains a positive "you can do it boss" dimension which plays fully on gamification and "current level+1" motivational concepts. The same way the record wizard avoids already recorded it could be wise to limit how many words we load. [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 13:43, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
* It handles badly. I have got a few lists with 50,000 or more words now. Not only infinite scroll, the record wizard also hangs if a list has more than 5,000 or so words (of course it depends on one's computer RAM etc also), however I won't even try to load a 50,000 or 60,000 word's list on the RecordWizard. "max=1000" is an option for sure. What I'd be really happy to see is "&from" ([https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Lingua_Libre_pronunciation_by_WikiLucas00&from=Li example]) and similar filters. Think of a large list of 60,000 words, alphabetically sorted, if we can limit loading only those words starting with/ending with specific letters that will make things easier (however this loading should be slow also). Another option is employ Olafbot and keep on updating such lists, what Olafbot is doing at this moment. Regards. --[[User:Titodutta|টিটো দত্ত (Titodutta)]] ([[User talk:Titodutta|কথা]]) 18:09, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
::Others and myself frequenly split lists in smaller chunks and pages but it's not ideal on the maintenance side. I wonder if adding sections to the list couldn't be a solution. So we pick a list, then if any we see all and pick a section. It would present interesting benefices (editability). I dont have easy implementation solution, but visibly we have an aspect to improve. As of now it seems wise to keep lists at max=5000 ?

::::* Yes, every night (Warsaw time). 1000 may be too small, sometimes people make more in 24 hours. 1500? BTW, I'm thinking about adding new regularly updated lists. For example, the frequency lists with the recorded audio removed probably also could be useful. In Polish, I personally use lists based on the number of internal links in Polish Wiktionary, but it works only for this language - in Polish Wiktionary we link every word in a definition or an example to its lemma, so there's quite a large corpus of words. In Polish, and probably in a few other languages with simple phonology, I can create lists without /r/ for people with [[w:Rhotacism_(speech_impediment)|rhotacism]] (like at least three Polish speakers of pronunciation in Commons, including myself). If you have any further ideas, how to enhance Olafbot's activity, please let me know. [[User:Olaf|Olaf]] ([[User talk:Olaf|talk]]) 00:18, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
:::::* {{ping|Olaf}} hi. On my side I approach it this way : 1000 = '''1h+''' for moderately experienced users. I would therefore put 2000 words / day as a ''maximum, solidly ambitious yet still healthy size'' (doable happily when motivated). Given your list is updated daily, that's the max I recommend. But 1500 and 1000 daily are more gentle and likely an healthier choice if we want to encourage long-run contributions. Our experienced contributors may come to like this habit of 1000 words / 45~60minutes daily recordings. You see the idea.<br>For non daily-updated lists, we can go to max 5000.... with the understanding and assumption it suit a 3-days recording sprint followed by a resting period.<br>My personal observation is that >1000 words/day becomes cognitively exhausting. Generally speaking, we can also see from [[Special:RecentChanges]] and on-the-ground's practices that the 1,000+ threshold is largely avoided by our existing users. Most session are between 30 and 400 recordings (between 2 to 30 mins active recording). There is crowd wisdom in that ! [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 11:19, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
::::::* Ok, I limited the generated lists to 1000 - they will be trimmed this night. I think Yug is right, and rarely anybody will need more, and the lists shouldn't overwhelm people. [[User:Olaf|Olaf]] ([[User talk:Olaf|talk]]) 22:58, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
:::::::{{ping|Olaf|Yug}} That's a good decision. We should never load too many elements in the Record Wizard. @Yug, I saw that some of your lists are still 5000 elements-long, should we also trim them?<br/>I tried recording a part of [[List:Fra/Lemmas-without-audio-sorted-by-number-of-wiktionaries]] back when it was still 5000 words-long, and almost all of my 300 audios were corrupted (I had to dump a lot of them before uploading to Commons), probably due to my browser's memory overloaded by the long list (I have a pretty strong internet connection and used a PC with 16GB of RAM).<br/> In relation to this topic, I opened a [[phabricator:T276014|Feature request on Phabricator (T276014)]], to be able to load only a part of a list in the record wizard. — '''[[User:WikiLucas00|WikiLucas]]''' [[User talk:WikiLucas00|(🖋️)]] 02:07, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

== Exclusion lists? ==
There could be another problem with the generated lists - although the lists are usually self-correcting (any typo would have to appear on many wiktionaries at the same time to make it to the top), at least for less popular languages the lists contain errors. The errors are going to accumulate at the beginning of each list because all the good words around them from the top are eventually recorded, and the errors persist. I had this problem in lists generated for Polish Wiktionary, and the solution was to allow users to remove the errors from the list. Each generated list on pl-wikt ([[:pl:wikt:Wikisłownik:Ranking brakujących słów według wystąpień w innych wikisłownikach/francuski|example]]) has its own "exclusion list" ([[:pl:wikt:Wikisłownik:Ranking brakujących słów według wystąpień w innych wikisłownikach/francuski/usuwane|example]]). Words added by users to the exclusion list are automatically removed by the bot from the main list every time it is updated. The system works fine on pl-wikt because it is described in the header of each list, and people got used to it, but I have no idea how to do it in Lingua Libre where no explanatory comments can be included in a list. Or maybe the bot could monitor any deletion of words from the lists done by users and maintain the exclusion lists on his own? But still, people would have to know there is such a possibility and care about it. Or maybe it's too early to think about it? What do you think? [[User:Olaf|Olaf]] ([[User talk:Olaf|talk]]) 12:04, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

:: IIRC, the "noinclude" tag is not ignored by the RecordWizard (ie. it shows as a "word" in the RW). So I guess there's no way to add a comment. That'd be an interesting feature request to be honest. To have something like a "description" of the list in the RecordWizard, something like what we can see on Wikidata.

== Properties for languages : import on lili Qitem or fetch from wikidata ? ==
Hello all, hello [[User:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]]. As I progress toward importing the UNILEX lists I'am examining [[:LinguaLibre:List_of_languages|the languages we have]], how many audio we have. For each language I would like to see the native population size of speakers. Coupling our current reach (the list of our language and the number of audios) together with populations sizes, we will be able to see how is our biases on major vs minor languages. There are some rare language in the list. So maybe, maybe, we are actually good on this side. Or maybe not. But we need to have some vision o this.

As for the implementation let's take Cantonese ([[:wikidata:Q9186|Q9186]])'s "number of speakers" ([[:wikidata:Property:P1098|Property:P1098]]) = <code>72,893,210</code>.

== [[:en:Natural Language Toolkit|Natural Language ToolKit (nltk)]] ==
Greetings all,<br>
Do we have anyone with knowledge on NLTK and its ecosystem ? I'am in communication with Google/corpuscrawler and Unicode-org/UNILEX, examining their data, and I still find notable holes. Esperanto <code>epo</code>, Catalan <code>cat</code>, Afrikaans <code>afr</code>, Korean <code>kor</code> and [https://github.com/unicode-org/unilex/issues/14 others] have no corpora, therefore no wordlist. (I suspect UNILEX was a complementary project, exploring the [[:en:long tail]] so some major language were not cared for. According to the code, they also crawled only few websites via human-defined targets. They identified few language-specific words, ex "currently" and "first", googled it (maybe +wordpress), and thefore identified targets matching their crawlers.) I'am making a new review of online corpus mainly using [https://opus.nlpl.eu/ OPUS.nlpl.eu] ([[:en:Corpus Linguistic]] research center) as my entry point. They are specialized in parallel corpus but also provide their monolingual corpus in raw text and tokenized formats. I noticed their data for Wikipedias ([https://opus.nlpl.eu/wikipedia.php /wikipedia.php]: 20 languages), Wikipedia Content Translations ([https://opus.nlpl.eu/wikimedia.php /wikimedia.php]: 288), Tatoeba ([https://opus.nlpl.eu/tatoeba.php /tatoeba.php]: 359), TED ([https://opus.nlpl.eu/TED2020.php /TED2020.php]: 108), Bible ([https://opus.nlpl.eu/bible-uedin.php /bible-uedin.php]: 102). More I dive into Wikipedia corpus and more I'am uncomfortable with it: it's really noisy, the clean up is hard. But what are the other options ? Do NLTK community and professional have built-in and maintained corpora per languages ? Do we know what they are doing on their side for corpora and wordlist ?

== Ratelimite update ==
:''See: [[:phab:T260649]] « Ratelimit : improve handling of upload ratelimits via local JS », [[:phab:T276992]] « Ratelimit : Lingualibre-Commons require better integration via whitelisting or else. »''
Greetings,<br>
A short summary of past weeks monitoring the ratelimit bug and its impact. Since I noticed our users were indeed bumping into this 380/h wall, I monitor daily the recent changes and investigate upload patterns. Most users rights now (Marathi!) actually keep sessions under 380, and don't reach their ratelimit. I would say 80% of our actively-recording users don't reach their ratelimit in despite 5+ medium sessions per months. Their activity range between 20 and 200+ audios per session. Then, there are few more ambitious users, who display a "growth" pattern : their sessions increases, get to ~350, then bump into the wall. I tried my best to catch those and get them more user-rights on Commons as they neared the limit. Mostly succeeded. Few jumped up and bumped into the ratelimit before I could mentor for userirghts. Last but not least, I did some light [[:ca:Tema:W4oh9xw4ndkefh91|catalan]] [[LinguaLibre:Chat_room#Outreach|outreach]] this week. One of the users who answered the call and came over jumped ''straight'' to record Olaf's <code>cat</code> 1,000 words list, as I recommended in my call. Impressive and fully what we want. I noticed his '''380''' uploads (''« 380 = Warning! User bumped into ratelimit! »'') and therefore made contact. This user has since confirmed to me that '''s.he lost 620 of its recordings'''. Very, very embarrassing for us and for me, who called this user over.

We handled this loss the most elegantly and supportively as possible and thanks to this users positive will, it went ok. But it gives a sense of the impact this ratelimite can have, why hand monitoring of upload followed by proactive Commons userrights requests is direly necessary.

On the solution side we have a medium strategy short term solution –create a warning ribbon with user's ratelimit if = 380, current edit count on commons, and message–, see [[:phabricator:T260649|T260649]]; but also could explore a high strategy long term solution asking commons is more tolerant with our users uploads. [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 12:56, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
: I start to think the lists should be limited to 380. It looks like a trap, when we invite people to contribute, give them a list of words, and then throw away most of they work.

=== Documentation  update? ===
We are progressing on so many sides these days. But at some point we may gain from turning back and doing some "old pages" clean up. Help:Lists (3~4 pages) need care and merging. [[Help:Create a new generator]] too. How many others ? Some recent pages and forums (ex: [[Lingualibre:Grants]], [[LinguaLibre:Workshops]], [[LinguaLibre:Jargon]], Technical board, Bot) and even the main forum needs some love. Meanwhile I will have to reduce my activity in coming months due to research deadlines and other Grant requests to write, including for Lingualibre. On the bright side that will reduce the flow of news sections ^^. One small task we can do as of now its to tag the dead forum sections as "closed". We need fresh users and fresh eyes to be honest. [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 19:19, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

:::A quick technical note: when updating the generator "External Tools" for MediaWiki 1.35, it worked partially as a gadget: the button was shown but the window did not open, except when using the mode debug of the ResourceLoader (by adding the parameter "?debug=true" in the URL). It worked fully when I copied the code on the server in the RecordWizard extension next to other generators (currently only on the server, I will do soon Pull Requests to Github). It is probably due to side effects in loading order. [[User:Seb35|Seb35]] ([[User talk:Seb35|talk]]) 10:57, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

== Display the namespace in the top banner (id=contentHeading) ==
Hi, am I the only one that do not like the fact no to see the namespace displayed in the blue banner at the top of each page et in which we see the name of the page. For this page, it displays "Technical board" and not "LinguaLibre:Technical board". The main problem is I am often confused to know if I am on the main page or on the talk page; I always need to look at the URL. On the other end, this display does not confuse users that do not care about namespace. So maybe only display the fact that it is a talk page (without display the rest of the namespace (user, lingualibre, help, etc.) would be a good compromise. What do you think?

PS: I have looked at the code and it seems that the trick is done at [https://github.com/lingua-libre/BlueLL/blob/7959299c55fb3f852a5409f3c0bfd61938f1355a/BlueLL.skin.php#L187 line 187] of BlueLL.skin.php.

== Bug report: Uploaded to Commons, but not in Lili database ==
Very often (before and after the Great Fire) I have recordings reported as "failed to upload", but then I can't repeat the upload, it's the same error every time. For example, a moment ago I uploaded two files: [[commons:File:LL-Q809 (pol)-Poemat-iberystyka.wav]] and [[commons:File:LL-Q809 (pol)-Poemat-meteorytyka.wav]]. Record Wizard says the upload failed. The files are visible in Commons. The upload is not visible in my user history, Recent Changes, and in Search. In the browser console there is a message: 

<pre>[RequestQueue] Reject fileexists-no-change 
Object {
  "code": "fileexists-no-change",
  "info": "The upload is an exact duplicate of the current version of [[:File:LL-Q809 (pol)-Poemat-meteorytyka.wav]].",
  "stasherrors": [
    {
      "message": "uploadstash-exception",
      "params": [
        "UploadStashBadPathException",
        "Path doesn't exist."
      ],
      "code": "uploadstash-exception",
      "type": "error"
    }
  ],

} load.php:49:149". 
</pre>

Apparently, the first upload was successful, but Record Wizard must have failed while writing to Lingua Libre database. It should recognize this error code from Commons and proceed with updating the Lingua Libre database. Moreover, I believe there are a lot of similar files uploaded to Commons only, which should have their Lingua Libre information added post factum.

== Bases for a new patrol tool ==

Hi everyone!

While reporting [[LinguaLibre:Misleading_items#Change_language_from_fra_to_oci|an issue with some files]], I thought that a SPARQL query would be useful to have a complete overview of the speakers' recordings. First I only fetched the Qid, label and date of the recording, but then I realized that we could also display the audio in the query (in a smart and space-saving way, thanks to {{ping|0x010C}}'s QueryViz).

As manually dealing with SPARQL queries is not convenient, I think that this could become the bases of a patrol tool (maybe via a gadget or even a template) to quickly browse through someone's recordings. We could define filters such as a period of time to check, and the gadget/template would just have to adapt the query. We would then need a way to quickly mark the recordings with the type of problem they contain (if they do).

Example of query:
<query _pagination="10">
SELECT ?recordLabel ?record ?audio ?date WHERE {
  ?record prop:P2 entity:Q2 .
  ?record prop:P4 entity:Q21 .
  ?record prop:P5 entity:Q1975 .
  ?record prop:P3 ?audio .
  ?record prop:P6 ?date .
    SERVICE wikibase:label {
    bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE],en" .
    ?record rdfs:label ?recordLabel .
  }
}
GROUP BY ?date ?recordLabel ?record ?audio
ORDER BY DESC(?recordLabel)
</query>
<small>'''Sidenote:''' the {{templ|Q}} template seems to glitch when used next to this query: <code>Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter has terminated with signal "24"</code> ([https://lingualibre.org/index.php?title=LinguaLibre:Misleading_items&oldid=602598 see here])</small>

What do you think about this? Do you have other ideas for continuing on this track?

::Yes, there would be a Patrol page that we would use to select various filters (a speaker, a language, a period of time etc), and the gadget/template on this page would just have to craft a <code><nowiki><query></nowiki></code> based on the chosen filter(s).

== Bug - premature upload to Commons ==

Recently a new bug emerged in Lingua Libre. 
When a user is recording words, the recordings are uploaded to the server. In the next step, they are supposed to be verified by the user. If there is a network error in the recording phase, the user can click a button and request uploading them again. This time, however, the recording is not stored on the server for verification but uploaded prematurely to Commons. This is dangerous because if there were any problems in the pronunciation, the user had no chance to detect them. [[User:Olaf|Olaf]] ([[User talk:Olaf|talk]]) 10:33, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
:{{ping|Olaf}}, I just created [[phab:T309218|T309218]] to keep track on this possible issue. Feel free to modify the bug report. [[User:Pamputt|Pamputt]] ([[User talk:Pamputt|talk]]) 15:31, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi there,<br>
* [[:mw:Extension:TemplateStyles]] : elegant Navbox templates requires [[:mw:Module:Navbox]] and [[:mw:Module:Navbar]], which themselves requires [[:mw:Extension:TemplateStyles#Installation|Extension:TemplateStyles]] to load associated CSS styles.

Relevant css files are therefore still missing.<br>'''Usage:''' This extension allows us to move CSS out of [[MediaWiki:Common.css]], and into the template's own <code>Template:{TemplateName}/styles.css</code>. Beyond {Navbox}, there could be other templates who benefit it. In particular, it would help map out existing pages into navboxes in an easy-to-enquire structure. See also {{tl|Technicals}}.

:1) The <code>.wb-language-fallback-indicator</code> element is here to indicate the language of a string and clean from eventual ambiguity in multilangual sites such as Wikidata.
:2) The title displays the item label and its language. On Lili, the label is the word recorded, the language is the visitor's configured language OR if that label is missing, the fall back label's language. On Lingualibre, English.
:3) The Recording Studio only fills up the English label.
:4) Therefore, all records items' page titles, never mind the language recorded, had a misleading <code>.wb-language-fallback-indicator</code>'s value of "English".

:''[[:phabricator:T281041]]. Discussion moved to [[LinguaLibre:Technical_board/Audio click bug]].''
