A little plea/suggestion for fpc-archiver

Hello Wilfredor, I have a little plea resp. a little suggestion for your fpc-archiver. When fpc-archiver adds a new FP to a section on a gallery page, it inserts the new entry immediately after the <gallery mode="packed-hover" showfilename=1> which opens the section; the result looks like this (example A):

<gallery mode="packed-hover" showfilename=1>File:Berg im Drautal St. Athanasius 20250702.jpg|Berg im Drautal St. Athanasius 20250702
...

(example taken from this edit). That’s OK, of course. However FPCBot traditionally inserts every new entry on a line on its own, so that the result looks rather like this (example B):

<gallery mode="packed-hover" showfilename=1>
File:Berg im Drautal St. Athanasius 20250702.jpg|Berg im Drautal St. Athanasius 20250702
...

In my humbled opinion this is easier to read for humans, so it makes it a little bit easier to edit the wikitext and to avoid mistakes. Furthermore I have several scripts which search the FP gallery pages for mistakes, fake FPs, and other issues. These scripts currently rely on the fact that the entry for every FP is on a line on its own. I can update my scripts so that they understand the format created by fpc-archiver, too. But there could be other tools by other users which also rely on the fact that the entry for every FP is on a line on its own. So it may be saver and cleaner to keep the traditional code formatting.

Therefore it would be great if you could make fpc-archiver insert a newline after <gallery mode="packed-hover" showfilename=1> before the new entry, so that the result looks like in example B (one separate line for every FP entry). Thank you very much and all the best! – Aristeas (talk) 15:04, 16 July 2026 (UTC)

Dear Aristeas, thank you for the sugestion and that is an easy and reasonable change. fpc-archiver now writes a newline after the <gallery ...> tag, so each new FP goes on its own line, matching FPCBot's format (your example). It applies to both the section galleries and the Unsorted one, and it is already deployed, so the next promotions should follow this format. Thanks again for helping keep the gallery wikitext clean and tool-friendly Wilfredor (talk) 17:49, 16 July 2026 (UTC)

FPs added by fpc-archiver to the ‘Unsorted’ section

Hello Wilfredor, I noticed that once again we have a lot of FPs which were not added to the correct section on a gallery page, but to the ‘Unsorted’ section. In the past I used to sort all these images manually into the right section, but in order to minimize this tedious job I put a lot of work into the improvement of FPCBot, so that the bot now sorts most images correctly into the right section; only images with nonsensical gallery links are still added to the ‘Unsorted’ section. I really appreciate your fpc-archiver, but it seems that the code which searches for the correct section could be improved, because it has put a lot of new FPs into the ‘Unsorted’ section which contain valid gallery links.

Here are a few examples of nominations which IMHO contain completely correct gallery links to specific sections, but which were not understood by fpc-archiver, so that it has added the new FPs to the ‘Unsorted’ sections instead:

... and many more. I hope these examples help you to find the bug which prevents fpc-archiver from adding the new FPs right to the correct section on the gallery pages. All the best, – Aristeas (talk) 15:38, 16 July 2026 (UTC)

Dear Aristeas, thank you for the detailed report and the examples; they made the bug easy to pin down. The cause was in fpc-archiver's section matcher any gallery anchor containing a colon (the taxonomic "Family : …", "Subfamily : …", "Class : …" headings) failed to match, so those files fell through to "Unsorted". Anchors without a colon were unaffected, which is why it looked selective. It is now fixed and deployed, so new promotions should go straight to the correct section. I also checked the recent backlog, and it looks like you have already re-sorted almost all of the affected files by hand. Thank you for that, and sorry for the extra work.
