Dear admins, I have just posted the image in question on plwiki home page, therefore we might need COM:UPLOAD-P. Let's protect it until end of October, 2025. Thank you in advance, « Saper // @talk » 22:45, 23 September 2025 (UTC)
- Done may have already had cascading protection, but its state was a little confusing; I've now protected it in its own right, which should be harmless. - Jmabel ! talk 02:58, 24 September 2025 (UTC)
Module:Iteration replace "span" by "bdi" in function parlst
[edit]I'd like to change the generated code in Module:Iteration function parlst:
if catlink == '' then
local args = {
'<span title="U+',
'', -- [2] = format('%04X', code + i - 1)
'">',
'', -- [4] = char(code + i - 1)
'</span>',
}
for i = 1, count do
args[2] = format('%04X', code + i - 1)
args[4] = char(code + i - 1)
insert(results, concat(args))
end
elseif catlink == 'U' then
local args = {
'[[:Category:U+',
'', -- [2] = format('%04X', code + i - 1)
'|<span title="U+',
'', -- [4] = format('%04X', code + i - 1)
'">',
'', -- [6] = char(code + i - 1)
'</span>]]',
}
for i = 1, count do
args[2] = format('%04X', code + i - 1)
args[4] = args[2]
args[6] = char(code + i - 1)
insert(results, concat(args))
end
else
local args = {
'[[:Category:',
'', -- [2] = char(code + i - 1)
'|<span title="U+',
'', -- [4] = format('%04X', code + i - 1)
'">',
'', -- [6] = char(code + i - 1)
'</span>]]',
}
for i = 0, count - 1 do
args[2] = char(code + i - 1)
args[4] = format('%04X', code + i - 1)
args[6] = args[2]
insert(results, concat(args))
end
end
by
if catlink == '' then
local args = {
'<bdi title="U+',
'', -- [2] = format('%04X', cp)
'">',
'', -- [4] = char(cp)
'</bdi>',
}
for cp = code, code + count - 1 do
args[2] = format('%04X', cp)
args[4] = char(cp)
insert(results, concat(args))
end
elseif catlink == 'U' then
local args = {

'|<bdi title="U+',

}
for cp = code, code + count - 1 do

args[6] = args[2]
insert(results, concat(args))
end
end
i.e. just replace the 6 occurences of "span" by "bdi". This would solve some page rendering problems when displaying random unicode characters in characters lists, notably when there are mixes of characters in different directions; aditionally it would improve the page size.
The additional change is using "cp" loop from "code" to "code + count -1", instead of looping on "i" from "0" to "count -1". It is a small Lua execution time optimization.
I created this part of the function myself, to significantly reduce the generated page sizes in large lists of characters (e.g. lists of characters in large Unicode CJK blocks, or in lists by Kangxi radical, which are not far from reaching some internal MediaWiki limit, and cause unnecessary delays when loading these pages, even if these lists are collapsed by default in categoriy description pages). There's still no error, but I had to limit the number of generated links for each character, to avoid having too many parsed nodes, by some arbitrary count of 100 links per subgroups, but it is still a bit too large, too near from the limit: before it was limited to 200 links per subgroup, now 100 links per subgroup; there are other possible optimizations for these very populated CJK category pages that I'm working on).
For now, just the simple modification above (6 replacements) should be sufficient, the second change for the loop variable only concerns Lua with minor optimization, and does not solve the MediaWiki parser limit; these are very simple changes. (it is also available in the sandbox version of the module).
I cannot edit the Module that has been restricted not just for confirmed editors (as indicated), but only for administrators (because it is heavily used; policy changed in August 2024 by user:CptViraj after another editor changed the module, but not the "parlst" function itself that I had already optimized for faster rendering without the template parameter). The change above does not affect many pages (the "parlst" function is used with the "catlink" parameter set on category pages for ~200 Unicode blocks and 214 Kangxi radicals, only when there's no template given in parameter of the invoked "parlst" function, and the long list is much simpler and much faster to generate in Lua).
The edited sandbox version of the module (which includes the changes above) was tested successfully in Category:Unicode 20000-2A6DF CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B (this category is about is the largest existing Unicode block; not all links can currently be generated in the collapsed list of characters; but all characters are still displayed, with a maximum of 100 links for each one the 214 Kangxi radicals; this category will take years to have all links populated, just like Category:Unicode 4E00-9FFF CJK Unified Ideographs which grows slowly but where cleanup of the subclassification is in progress along with related Wikidata items with free images for each CJK ideograph, including possibly many modern variants or historic ancient CJK characters which is managed in a subproject since many years). verdy_p (talk) 12:00, 25 September 2025 (UTC)

Comment oldest contributions of WatsappAlain02 postdate newest contributions of WatsappAlain01. Neither account is blocked, so it is not block evasion. I don't see any problem here (other than a pattern of ad uploads on both accounts, but that has nothing to do with there being two accounts). If you think WatsappAlain02 (the only one recently active) should be warned, warn them; if you think they should be sanctioned, feel free to report them based on their own behavior (and even that of the prior account); but having two accounts on Commons is not in and of itself a problem. - Jmabel ! talk 17:31, 26 September 2025 (UTC)
I want to add an image of a character in the block “CJK Unified Ideographs Extension J”
[edit]Can someone unprotect Data:Unicode data/images/032.tab? PrinceAzuka134 (talk) 13:49, 27 September 2025 (UTC)
- @PrinceAzuka134 Can you provide a link to the image and the page you want to edit? I’m not sure which page you were referring to, but it must have been protected for good reasons, so it isn’t likely to be unprotected. Instead, you can add a {{Edit request}} at its talk page for any edits you want to add. Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 14:39, 27 September 2025 (UTC)
- @PrinceAzuka134 Thanks for the link. As the note at the talk page mentioned, you can request the edits you want to make at Category talk:Unicode Module Datasets. Please be detailed and include links to the images/pages you want to edit. Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 21:00, 27 September 2025 (UTC)
