Getting Details Of Videos and Audio From the API

Dear,

I'm writing to follow up on my API call results. While I was able to successfully retrieve images and descriptions for my search keyword.

API: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/rest.php/v1/search/page?q=World&limit=2

I couldn't locate any information related to audio files & a video files.

Could you please clarify if audio & video files are included in the API response for this particular search? If not, is there another way to access audio & video files related to my search keyword on this platform using Specific API?

Thank you! UsmanKhanLodhi (talk) 07:29, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

OpenStreetMap does not work anymore

I have noticed that OpenStreetMap does not work in any wiki, including Commons, Wikipedia, Wikidata etc. Instead of showing a dynamic map from OpenStreetMap, it shows a white screen. I have noticed this thing in commons:Category:Kolkata and also in wikidata:Q1348. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 18:41, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Works for me. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 01:26, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

I have now opened commons:Data:Lok Sabha constituencies/2019/West Bengal/Kolkata Uttar.map and it still shows a white screen without any dynamic map. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 14:35, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Map works fine here. Please check for relevant errors in your web browser's developer tools (network tab and console tab), and/or try a different web browser and/or internet connection. --AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 15:10, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, it works! I've removed the following code in commons:User:Sbb1413/commons.js:

importScript('User:Kanonkas/twinkle.js'); mw.loader.load('//fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mediawiki:Gadget-KartoEditor.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');

However, after refreshing the webpage, the problem comes back. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 15:20, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

See my previous comment: Please check for relevant errors in your web browser's developer tools (network tab and console tab), and/or try a different web browser and/or internet connection. --AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 15:53, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Mediawiki latest file download problem

Anyone can gave me the solution of mine problem, because i downloaded the mediawiki and the file is corrupted. 72.255.3.43 10:01, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Wrong place; see mw:Project:Support_desk instead (and provide way way more information there). --AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 15:09, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

en.wikt: Request for list of pages by time usage

Please see [1]. Here on Wiktionary we have the problem that some pages occasionally runs out of time for a while, usually until someone performs a null edit on the page. So I thought a list of pages that use a lot of time would be helpful. I figured that there are some Special Pages that generate lists of entries, so perhaps my requested information could be generated similarly. --Kc kennylau (talk) 21:29, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

There is a slow parse log but im not sure its public. Maybe someone with access can give you a list filtered to enwikt. Bawolff (talk) 21:44, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
