Topic on Help talk:Extension:FileImporter

Hello!

When I've used this extension to transfer files from en.w. to Commons en:Template:Now Commons has always been added automatically to the file on en.w. but yesterday this wasn't the case. This made me have to add the template manually. Why was this and how can it be fixed?

I checked some of the files you touched recently on enwp. It looks like none of them have been moved with FileImporter. Some are marked as being "Transferred from en.wikipedia via #commonshelper", which is another tool (one of the tools we aim to replace with the new FileImporter feature). One file is marked with "Now Commons", but does not exist on Commons: en:File:EdwinLBattistella.JPG. Can you specify which file exactly made you wonder?

Since these are all deleted by now, it's hard to tell what was going on. I assume looking at these files histories will not reveal anything anyway, because the issue was the lack of an edit. We are tracking instances of this issue at phab:T235892.

I imported some files just now to Commons and {{Now Commons}} was added as it should so the problem is probably solved.

Okay, good that it's not only me.
