Tamil Wikipedia announced a Media Contest to increase the commons
media files like photos, audio and video in the wikipedia world.

DigiKam has it, but due to some issues, the mediawiki plugin is not released.

So, I started to write my own script for uploading all the files in a
folder to upload to mediawiki.

Here is it.

Thanks a lot for your innovation  to ease upload of images to commons.  Thanks also for making it open source, as it can be inspiration for others to improve it and/or build other tools, which can simiplify working with wiki projects.


Based on my previous experience with commons, the category addition is a pain point, even with current default tools on commons.  Categories are not added as part of Upload. After few days, a bot will flag all those images with the uncategorised warning.  Can you explore enhancing the tool to support categorisation along with Upload?

I will try  your tool in couple of weeks and provide more  feedback.
