[Commons-l] The great {{Information}} campaign

[Brianna Laugher]

Why don't we start a page [[Commons:The ultimate information
template]] and brainstorm all the possible fields in all the possible
domains we will have, and maybe then it will be a bit clearer if we
should be using a single template to cover them all, or what. (For
example should audio and video have the same fields? Will they need
extra fields?)

If the devs came to us today and said "OK, we're going to implement a
big structured database for you, what fields do you want?", we should
be prepared about how we will answer. :)

Should we have specialised templates that people subst: that become
{{information}} (or whatever we call this Ultimate Template), for
example?

We should also be careful to get input from lots of high-volume
uploaders, since they are likely to be the most affected by any
changes.

cheers,
Brianna
