Hello Shrinivasan, I don't remember any easy process other than this one! :( On Tue, May 21, 2013 at 5:31 PM, Shrinivasan T <tshrinivasan(a)gmail.com>wrote;wrote:

When I upload photos to commons, I try to add the photos to relevant pages. It seems a tough process. 1. copy the info of the image from commons.( using use this file ) 2. open the relevant page in wikipedia 3. click the edit page. 4. paste the image info from the clip board. 5. save the page. Every time, I have to do the same for all the images. Is there any easy way or widget to automate this? A gallery can be added by clicking a link in wikipedia page, with the images link we paste. Share your thoughts on this.

There was a proposal at meta to develop an easier process, where user could upload images from/on Wikipedia, and the process/feature 'd store the images in commons for you remotely. So you'd not have to visit commons and you could link images in the articles easily. Hopefully in few many years. :-) Regards, Ansuman <http://twitter.com/an5um> *ଓଡ଼ିଆ ଉଇକିପିଡ଼ିଆ <http://or.wikipedia.org/>* On 21 May 2013 18:31, Shrinivasan T <tshrinivasan(a)gmail.com> wrote:

We have to make this process easier as one click using any widget or user script. Can you check with any widget developer? -- Regards, T.Shrinivasan My Life with GNU/Linux : http://goinggnu.wordpress.com Free E-Magazine on Free Open Source Software in Tamil : http://kaniyam.com Get CollabNet Subversion Edge : http://www.collab.net/svnedge _______________________________________________ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l

Sorry for delayed response, was out of data usage! Yes, I knew where to get the link http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Easy_Media_Uploader , was ineligible for the grant, because it needed help from the wmf tech team. And I see you have an idea at IEG. Regards, Ansuman <http://twitter.com/an5um> *ଓଡ଼ିଆ ଉଇକିପିଡ଼ିଆ <http://or.wikipedia.org/>* On 22 May 2013 00:54, Nischay Nahata <nischayn22(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Do you have a link for that proposal? On Tue, May 21, 2013 at 8:19 PM, ansuman <ansumang(a)gmail.com> wrote:
