I am at the final test run stage of a Rijksmuseum upload and getting
annoying results when using the Artwork template in GWT, compared to
my experience when using the Information template.
FILENAME
The filename used appears based on <title> + <title identifier> +
{mime-type}. This is incredibly annoying as I would like to be able to
specify the filename for myself as this formula means that I cannot
identify the language on the Artwork title parameter (such as using
{{nl | 1=<title>}} as this puts leading junk in the filename) and
gives the uploader no control over specifying the extention (i.e.
forcing "jpeg" instead of using the community norm of "jpg").
Are there reasons for this approach, or is this suitable to be improved?
HTML TRANSLATION
A second trap is that the wikicode use of " ' " is rendered impossible
as it is translated as "'". Similarly "<br>" vanishes.
This makes
formatting of text inside the Artwork template extremely limited and
is not the approach used for the Information template. There could be
some underpinning rationale due to the differences in these templates,
but the behaviour appears quite inconsistent to me.
