Updater has failed on User:Nordlicht8/Equestriansports

Hi @Magog the Ogre: , can you please ... (my real wish: delete these whole "People by association" nonsense from Commons... My realistic wish:) ...exclude the Category:Horse owners from the United States (and subcategories) from User:Nordlicht8/Equestriansports? Thank you! Nordlicht8 (talk) 21:57, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

✓ Done second request. First request is a bit beyond my abilities. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 02:16, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
Sorry, me again. Can you please exclude the Category:Horse breeders (and subcategories) from User:Nordlicht8/Equestriansports? These (especially the US ones) also cause problems. Thank you! --Nordlicht8 (talk) 22:58, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
✓ Done Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 16:08, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
I turned Horse breeders into a hard omission so that it would always omit subcategories as well. This seems to have fixed the issue. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 19:24, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Omit

Please omit Category:Things named after Leipzig from User:Roy17/Leipzig and Category:Things named after Mannheim from User:Roy17/Mannheim, thx. Roy17 (talk) 10:10, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Omit (coins)

Please omit "Category:Coiners" from "User:Donald Trung/OgreBot/Coins".

(Unrelated to the above.) - By the way, I was planning on moving the gallery to the WikiProject Numismatics, is there a way that if anything wrong arises with the gallery that I would be the one notified? (After it will make it for the WikiProject, I mean). --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 23:22, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

@Donald Trung: if this page was a subpage of Commons:WikiProject Numismatics, the notification would go to Commons talk:WikiProject Numismatics. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 23:49, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
That makes sense, thank you for your answer. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 04:45, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Magog the Ogre, currently it feels like every month there is a new category that crashes the upload (although this time the new one is actually a useful one). Can you please exclude Category:Elephants saddled with castles from User:Nordlicht8/Equestriansports? Thank you! Nordlicht8 (talk) 21:57, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Addition of all uncategorized files?

All (or almost all?) uncategorized files are added by @OgreBot to @User:Roy17's User:Roy17/Mannheim pages since 2024-03-13. I don't think this is useful as it simply duplicates Category:Media needing categories requiring human attention. GeorgR (de) (talk) 20:27, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

@GeorgR (de): please refer to the instructions on the user page for how to locate and request a category opt out. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 13:05, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
@Magog the Ogre, thanks, but based on the definitions for User:Roy17/Mannheim on User:OgreBot/gallery, I wouldn't know what to exclude. The categories listed there should not have caused the addition of uncategorized (!) files. However, the issue is appparently resolved anyway, as uncategorized files are no longer added to User:Roy17/Mannheim since 2024-03-19. GeorgR (de) (talk) 13:19, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
Actually, I think I found the issue; it's already been reverted.[1] Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 13:16, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
Ah, good catch. GeorgR (de) (talk) 13:19, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

@Magog the Ogre and Rosenzweig: I've been away for the last month and on my return now see a gaggle of failure notices. It seems that Category:Secret messages is the cause, so please exclude that category from the results. Ww2censor (talk) 14:52, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

@Zinneke: I don't think you're requesting a high enough category. I can take this category out, but then it will still include everything else in Category:Old maps of cities in the Netherlands. I would recommend omitting Category:Maps of the Benelux. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 01:39, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

User:P170/NeueBilderTrier: Regular deletion of images older than 6 months

{{Edit request}} Dear @Magog the Ogre: (or anyone who could kindly help out here), please delete images on the site User:P170/NeueBilderTrier older than 6 months regularly (and stop the full removal process as announced in User_talk:P170#Daily_gallery_updater_has_failed_on_User:P170/NeueBilderTrier if necessary). Sometimes I need some time to have a look at all the images but if I don't make it within 6 months it's my own fault :-) Thank you! P170 (talk) 20:07, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

@P170: that feature isn't supported by the bot. You can manually prune the images, or use separate galleries for each month. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 03:46, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Exclude category

Hello Magog the Ogre, first thanks for your work with your bot. We, Wikipedians in Dresden (Germany), use this bot work for our daily check for input of new images about Dresden. It is a great help for us. See also this nice overview: User:Derbrauni/NeuesDresden. - But we have a problem. Under the c:Category:Dresden is also the men c:Category:Pyotr Stolypin. He was born in Dresden and later politican in the Russian Empire. Since 2008 there is a c:Category:Stolypin Medal in Russia, named after him. And now we get many images from all this c:Category:Recipients of the Stolypin Medal in our c:Category:Dresden. Yesterday for example 30 images (See log). This had nothing to do with the city Dresden.

It is possible to exclude this category c:Category:Recipients of the Stolypin Medal. So that your scan for "Dresden" don't go in this tree branch? This would help a lot. --sk (talk) 12:43, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello Magog the Ogre, your bot update also the User:Frze/Category:Dresden_uploads. Since April 2018 the User:Frze (also from Dresden) is not working in Wikipedia or commons. - It is possible to stop the bot update of this user gallery. They collect all the same images as in User:Derbrauni/NeuesDresden. For example this image File:20240707.Palais Sommer.Neumarkt.-013.jpg was embedded in both user galleries. If you stop the update, we can save some storage memory in commons. --sk (talk) 13:08, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Request to change target of galleries to WikiProjects

@Magog the Ogre: {{Edit request}} Due to some real life circumstances I'm a bit less active on-wiki for the coming time.

I'd like to request to change the target of galleries from user pages to WikiProjects, these changes would be:

I will personally change the rest of the links, but I'll add links at the top "For uploads from [DATE] to [DATE] please see [OLD TARGET PAGE]" as I still need to patrol the older uploads and it would be handy for people to patrol them.

Do I need to make "Commons:WikiProject Numismatics/Patrol" before you can re-target them? --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 09:13, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

@Donald Trung: I can make this change. Are you sure the wiki projects are OK getting notices every time the gallery fails?
The bot doesn't have any restriction on subpages. I can't speak for site or wiki restrictions. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 00:47, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
@Magog the Ogre: , The patrols are currently already on the main pages, I'll make sure to resolve them as quickly as they come in as I have them on my watchlist too. At the English-language Wikipedia most patrols and stuff like that already happen through WikiProjects. For whatever reason I didn't get your ping. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 12:01, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
