Good we're on the same track!!

From what I remember Lydia presenting at some point was that the transition to Wikibase on Commons would happen gradually, with more and more of the properties being displayed from Wikidata. For paintings in the Sum of All Paintings project this could already start happening, since their data is in Wikidata. Just like making infoboxes in Wikipedias from Wikidata data.

Last time I checked there were no Wikidata related Lua scripts in Wikimedia Commons (correct me if I am wrong) nor was arbitrary access available.

How I would like to start is to add:

{{Artwork

| wikidata = Q....

| artist = P...

| date = P...

| etc

}}

Since all of them are already related to the Wikidata item, we could make a preformatted ArtworkWD template where you only need to add the Qid and values that cannot be stored in Wikidata or those that need to override Wikidata values. Now we have measures, so all painting sizes can be read from Wikidata. These are the only ones that come to my mind.

- description

- geographic area

- partnership declaration

- categories

As you mention, looking at the file in Commons you would want to

- add it to Wikidata

- edit the data in Wikidata

I would love to work or let someone work on this!

Susanna, Did you read my mind? I have exactly the same questions!! For my own work on artworks where I am searching individual files for upload to both Commons and Wikidata, I have created my own tool to prepare an artwork template for commons at the same time as creating a new item on Wikidata (using quick statements).

The only tools I am aware of are the ones Magnus has so kindly made available to use. Personally I use the "create Commons creator template from a Wikidata biographical item" and modify the output slightly to create a category as well, when I find artworks on Commons that are as yet uncategorized. Unfortunately there is no "Create a Wikidata item from this file with artwork template on Commons", but I would love to have that too. Maybe worth creating a wish for the wishlist survey on Meta for this?

Best, Jae

I am trying to catch up with the discussion about using Wikidata data in Wikimedia Commons. Here are some questions that have come up with the work with our GLAM partners as well as thinking about the Map template.

What is the current status of the Artwork & other metadata templates as well as Creator and Institution templates as opposed to data on Wikidata? Should I just encourage to place the same artist & artwork metadata in all of them + Wikipedia infoboxes, or could I focus on Wikidata and create snippets that read that data from Wikidata? What's the policy, are there Lua scripts and templates for that on Commons? What will happen if I try to create some?

Cheers,
