For a tool that tries to fill in {{Information}} templates on commons based on the current, unstructured text, I have it fill in the "Date" parameter from the EXIF data of the image, if available.
Dandy idea. It would be desirable to have extraction for other EXIF data?
Exif geodata would be nice. There are a number of EXIF fields which we might expect to find authorship data in.. (I use 'Copyright', and 'Owner')
I use Exif:Artist for my pseudonym. It would be nice to get it from the file into {{Information}}
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.
