I just thought: How about a new magic word,
{{EXIFDATE}}, that would
extract EXIF data from the image? It could be used in {{Information}}
as a default in case no "Date" parameter is provided.
Sounds good; couple of comments:
1. Provide for all eligible EXIF data
2. Use parser functions, not "magic words" - this will allow the user
to provide the name of the file for which data should be extracted,
for example
Will do. How about:
{{#exif:KEY}} and
{{#exif:KEY|IMAGENAME}} ?
The second variant would then work in all namespaces, and the first
one only in #6.
Since there is some variance in EXIF keys, I'd suggest some "internal"
keys to simplify matters. For example,
{{#exif:_DATE}}
woule check several common date keys, and take the earliest one it finds.
Aah, the possibilities! [[Category:Taken with {{#exif:MODEL}}]] :-)
