Maryana Pinchuk <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #38 from Maryana Pinchuk <[email protected]> --- It was good to try the EXIF filter for combatting low quality uploads, but it seems pretty clear that this isn't the right strategy for dealing with the issue. Lupo, I think you're right that this isn't about bad faith users, but rather about new people who haven't really figured out what uploading entails on Wikimedia projects. We're going to try limiting mobile web uploading to autoconfirmed users, which should drastically lower the volume of incoming uploads (because currently only ~3% of new mobile web editors make it to 5 edits, which is in the ballpark of autoconfirmed thresholds across all the different WM projects) -- if our theory on clueless newbies holds true, this should also increase the ratio of quality uploads in the right direction :) As always, thanks for the feedback; we'll continue to monitor the feature and make permissions tweaks as needed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
