Dear colleagues,
Before uploading some 1550 images in 200-odd batches to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Prints_from_the_Peace_Palace_Lib... i hit on this problem:
When i input xml author metadata
<author>Pieter Christiaansz Bor (1559-1635). Engraver:. Photography: D-vorm, Bert en Lilian Mellink</author>
mapped to template {{Information}} GWT gives
Author Creator:Bert en Lilian Mellink Pieter Christiaansz Bor (1559-1635). Engraver:. Photography: D-vorm
instead of simply
Pieter Christiaansz Bor (1559-1635). Engraver:. Photography: D-vorm, Bert en Lilian Mellink.
Examples -------- http://commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/File:Bor-Nederlantsche-Oorlog... https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bor-Nederlantsche-Oorloghen_9140.tif
GWTset tacitly assumes Template:Creator, e.g.
{{Information | author = {{Creator:Bert en Lilian Mellink Pieter Christiaansz Bor (1559-1635). Engraver:. Photography: D-vorm}}
?? Is there a workaround, my time is running out (1550 uploads to do before June 1)??
Thanks a lot, hans muller

The GWT allows quotes and normal brackets, I have not tested other Commons allowed characters. For example: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%22No.1_Seminary_Building._No._3_M organ_Hall_Completed_1875._No.2_Library_Building_Dedicated_May_8th_1872._ Auburn_Theologigal_Seminary,_%28Incorporated_April_14th_A.D._1820%29_Aubu rn,_Cayuga_Co._NYPL1583067.tiff
Some of the problem might be how the XML file is encoded to UTF-8 by the user, rather than how the GWT handles it.

hi james,
glad to hear that you're getting ready to upload with gwtoolset. sorry that you're running into an issue. at the moment the following characters are replaced with a '-' in a title without a method to override any of them:
'#','<','>','[',']','|','{','}',':','¬','`','!','"','£','$','^','&' ,'*','(',')','+','=','~','?',',',';',"'",'@'
We should have a look at it at the hackathon and commit a patch. You, Jean-Fred and I are there so that should work. I think we can relax it a bit or make it less intrusive. Filed https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64843 so we won't forget.
