Description P. Birken 2008-09-27 14:59:31 UTC
The current behavior, that new versions of images on commons make versions appear as unsighted does not scale, since for some images (flags, placeholder images, etc.) this makes it necessary to flag thousands of pages on several projects. 

Therefore, I think that new versions on commons should not make pages appear as unsighted. As a quick fix, a new message could be shown in the diff that tells people that the reason for the behavior is an image changed on commons. The current messages are very confusing and make people think this is a bug.
Comment 1 Aaron Schulz 2008-09-29 22:04:06 UTC
Treating different versions (due to images) as synced seems like incorrect behavoir. Perhaps some way to get these images sighted might be better.
Comment 2 P. Birken 2008-10-02 20:39:41 UTC
Yes, but it is incorrect behavior that was deemed acceptable (in particular in light of the alternative as it is now) from the beginning by both Erik and me: We said to just ignore Commons. After seeing the confused reactions on de-WP I still say: As long as the change of an image on commons causes this much work on all projects with flagged revs, just turn that part off.

Done in r41567.

Seems not be fixed (all timestampes are CET):

Message above this diff: "Some templates/images were updated: Bild:Ali As - YOU 2008 Berlin (6681).JPG" but this image is still on Commons.

Comment 5 Aaron Schulz 2008-10-29 12:04:43 UTC
Did you purge the cache and diff?
Comment 6 Aaron Schulz 2008-10-29 12:06:05 UTC
Actually, this isn't really a bug. It still shows template changes on the diff, but what it shouldn't do is have the two draft and stable tabs.

No. Should I? I was glad to find a clear case of this bug/feature :)

No, see comment #6. Purging should not do anything. This is more of a feature.
Comment 9 Aaron Schulz 2010-06-15 01:48:49 UTC
This is back again. The sync check still needs a rewrite (which should cover this and 23415)
Comment 10 Aaron Schulz 2010-06-16 21:21:51 UTC
Commons files except from sync check in r68135.
