Every image with EXIF rotation will be different between the old and the new version of MediaWiki. A Commons user (Umherirrender) already generated a list of such images, using the Toolserver database, and thousands of incorrect images were tagged for rotation. The rate at which images were tagged was far in excess of the rate at which RotateBot was able to rotate them, so Sam Reed did some work on optimising it. -- Tim Starling _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
