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.
Thanks.

I'm not sure we want each article to have a gallery of every image -and it shouldn't be automated as we only want the best ones.
The best way is to link the article to the category on commons so that people who want to see every image can, but stops the article being overloaded.

Hi,
Is there any easy way or widget to automate this?
This was to be (one of) the purpose of Add Media Wizard, but its development was discontinued. I am not aware of any other initiatives.
