Hi there, the current archival system via bot [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AGraphics_Lab%2FIllustration_workshop&type=revision&diff=949008224&oldid=948981148 seems] to archive satisfied request taggued {{tl|done}} '''the very next day'''. This is bad for community learning. Give it some time, showcasting our work is rewarding, encouraging for us, a role model for new graphists. I'am pretty sure we would gain from having about 6 to 12 {done} work still display on the page. If needed, let's go back to a dual bot + hand-done archival model. ''Mutual learning by examples is at the core of the Graphic Labs'', fast archival plays against it. Could we have some support or help to move back this such practice.

:After some digging it seems to be due to {{u|Snow Lion Fenian}} adding {resolved} and ClueBotIII reacting to it shortly after. Then, It's just best practice issue. @Snow Lion Fenian, thanks you for the fast archiving, such efforts is encouraging. Yet per above rational, it may be more interesting for the community to slow down ;) [[User:Yug|Yug]] [[User talk:Yug|<small><span style="color:green;">(talk)</span></small>]] 18:50, 10 April 2020 (UTC) |

Hi there! I've been a wikigrpahist for some months now. I thought about a tool to find needed images in a Wikiproject and also to find low resolution images needing improvements. |

I understand 'scale' [under 'transform'], 'fit canvas to object size', etc. in Inkscape, but those will ruin the alignment of the object on the canvass. |

If some program other than Inkscape could do this in bulk, that would be even better. I could then clean up the stroke width if I needed to in Inkscape. |

The Graphics Lab is a project to improve the graphical content of the Wikimedia projects. Requests for image improvements can be added to the workshop pages: Illustrations, Photographs and Maps. For questions or suggestions one can use the talk pages: Talk:Graphics Lab, Talk:Illustrations, Talk:Photographs and Talk:Maps.
This specific page is the discussion page for the Illustration workshop. Any comments or questions about this specific workshop may be made here. Note that requests for image improvement, etc. do not belong here but should go on the main requests page
This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Graphics Lab/Illustration workshop page. |

A tool to monitor and improve images in Wikiprojects
[edit]Hi there! I've been a wikigrpahist for some months now. I thought about a tool to find needed images in a Wikiproject and also to find low resolution images needing improvements.
I called it Visual Content Assessment Tool, or simply VCAT.
A working version of VCAT can be found at VCAT-dashboard, you can try it using one of the samples of data I already extracted, or you can extract data for any Wikiproject using the extraction tool, a command line tool I created for this purpose.
Some of the actions you can do with this tool are:
- Monitoring the visual content coverage in a Wikiproject
- Detecting articles needing images (eg. articles without images)
- Detecting low resolution images to improve (eg. raster diagrams to be vectorized(
What do you think? Could it be a useful tool? MingoBerlingo (talk) 15:06, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
How can I resize SVG images (not objects)?
[edit]E.g. If I have a 100x100 px image, and want to reduce it to 20x20 px without any change in appearance. (Apart maybe from stroke width, which I can set manually in Inkscape.) It's helpful to have all images in a series set to the same size, line weight, etc., for display but especially when merging them into new images.
I understand 'scale' [under 'transform'], 'fit canvas to object size', etc. in Inkscape, but those will ruin the alignment of the object on the canvass.
If some program other than Inkscape could do this in bulk, that would be even better. I could then clean up the stroke width if I needed to in Inkscape.
