Hi everybody,
I thought this was worth sharing:
I've just finished uploading 3 batches (3100+ images (*)) using the GW-toolset. I was
looking at ways to do some automatic post-upload cleaning of metadata in all the 3100+
files (eg. getting rid of unwanted semicolons that the GW-tool adds in the mapping
process).
I was about to file a bot request, but came across the
VisualFileChange<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:VisualFileChang… tool,
very helpful for mass Find-Replace operations. It is a tool that can be used for
mass-changes of one author's uploaded files, or files in a category. It's a
web-tool and can be launched
directly<https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Bots/Wo…nge.js>.
Might be something to add to the GW-toolset end user manual
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:GWToolset ?
