Antrad 37 Share Posted April 11, 2019 On my watchlist page I saw bots flagging many articles having corrupt images, some covers and screenshots that I uploaded as broken, but others from the same set are fine, it seems to be random. What is going on ? Reply (Quote) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andytizer 269 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Unfortunately a large batch of screenshots were corrupted a long time ago, and backups have been overwritten. We have spent a long time trying to figure out what went wrong but in the end, the original files are lost and need to be recreated sadly. Some more detail here: https://trello.com/c/hxagMLOA/94-some-old-images-are-corrupted We will be making a project and having people recreate/resubmit screenshots. Our future systems will be more robust. Reply (Quote) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aemony 142 Share Posted April 12, 2019 1600 images are corrupt, or experience other issues (e.g. being too large for the wiki to handle) based on this list: https://pastebin.com/8yQ2xDSj There's also some 300 images entirely missing: https://files.aemony.se/pcgw/images_missing.txt Note that this list isn't updated, so a few of the images have already been solved.

Waschbär 3 Share Posted April 15, 2019 So is there any kind of batch upload planned perhaps? I still have all the images I uploaded (and going by my watchlist, almost all of mine are corrupt now), but going through them one by one is going to be tedious as hell.

Aemony 142 Share Posted June 6, 2019 A lot of pages seems to have been fixed, but right now 127 still remain. The category that covers all of these can be found here: https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Category:Pages_with_corrupt_images On 4/15/2019 at 8:19 PM, Waschbär said: So is there any kind of batch upload planned perhaps?

This was mentioned by another user on Discord recently as well, and is a proposal I support. I've created a separate thread for that discussion: Reply (Quote) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
