Batchupload Overwrite Files

ThatGioGeo·11/2/2020 in General

Hey guys

I'm the main editor owner of a Wikia about a Belgian TV show: https://nergensbeterdanthuis.fandom.com/nl/wiki/Thuis_wiki. There are almost 5000 episodes of this show, of which I upload 16 images of each episode.

I do color corrections and enhancements regularly and I would use Multiupload to overwrite the files. Now, after the migration I can only use Batchupload and it doesn't allow me anymore to ignore errors and overwrite the existing files.

Overwriting every image seperately is of course impossible.

Thanks in advance.

Jorah

Welcome to UCP.

First, I would just like to clarify some things. By "Multiuplaod", you are referring to this script, not Special:MultipleUpload, correct? I am not sure what you are referring to with "Batchupload", could you describe it? Are you talking about the mass upload feature in the new editor?

Fandyllic·11/2/2020

Well, since the dev script is not known to work on UCP, UCP doesn't have Special:MultipleUpload, and users have reported general overwrite issues with the UCP image/file uploader, there isn't much of a question. However, a clear identification would help confirm things.

Well, Batchupload is a Fandom feature now after the migration. It's the tiny little arrow on top of the edit bar that allows you to upload multiple images.

Ah, thanks for explaining. In that case, contact Fandom as Fandyllic suggested. It is possible they are already aware of it but it wouldn't hurt to remind them.

What do you think?
