Running the Commons PoTD bot at Basque Wikipedia

Hello! I was just messing around and trying to find out how the bot works, but before starting installing it at Toolforge (which doesn't seem something easy), I would like to ask if there's any change to fun the bot at Basque Wikipedia directly. Would it be possible for you? Thanks! Theklan (talk) 13:18, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

It should work without any changes. I could run it on Basque Wikipedia for you. — JJMC89 19:23, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! What do you need to make it happen? AFAIK you have bot permissions at euwiki. (Please, ping on answer) -Theklan (talk) 17:21, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

@Theklan: My bot isn't flagged on euwiki. To edit in its own userspace, does it need to be? On enwiki, it updates, User:JJMC89 bot/Commons picture of the day. Is that title okay for euwiki or would you like a different subpage? — JJMC89 00:13, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Bot removing NFCC violations

Hello!

I've gone through Wikipedia:Database reports/Overused non-free files and removed a few FURs that I deemed not compliant. Your bot then removed the corresponding uses, for example see Special:Diff/1222254975, however some of the uses have not been removed by the bot. See for example File:CHN logo.svg and File:Romania basketball team.png. Do you know why this is? Jonteemil (talk) 09:15, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

It depends. The "recent" removals are based on a page using the file being edited, not the file page being edited. The former is the most common way violations are introduced. The bot also checks all non-free file uses twice a month. Since this takes a significant amount of time, some uses can appear to be missed, but they should be caught the next time it runs. — JJMC89 18:37, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

Okay, than I'll just standby and hope the uses be caught eventually. Jonteemil (talk) 21:10, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) @Jonteemil: If you're confident enough to remove a non-free use rationale from a file's page because you think it's a clear violation of WP:NFCCP, then it seems that you should also be removing the file from the articles where it's non-free use isn't compliant. Simply removing the rationale and then waiting for a bot to remove the file for violating WP:NFCC#10c seems (in my opinion) to be passing the buck (so to speak) to the bot because that's what people are going see removing the file. JJMC89 bot isn't assessing the validity of a file's non-free use rationale or the use corresponding to that rationale; it's only asessing whether there's a rationale linking to article's where the file's being used; so, leaving the files the bot to remove seems like a back-door approach that might be seen by some as being a bit sneaky and a bit in bad faith. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:54, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
