Hi.
I am the WiR at the National Library of Wales. We plan to use the GWtoolset to upload around 20,000 images over the next year. I have tried leaving messages for a few people in order to gain GW toolset user rights for Commons Beta but have had no reply. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Jason

This is now done. Good luck with the GWToolset − feel free to ask if you need any help.
Thanks very much for your help!

Hi
At the National Library of Wales we are now at the stage where we need to white-list our domain in order to start testing the Toolset. I have a couple of questions at this point.
1. We would like to link uploads to image handles rather than a URL
Here is an example of an object that re-directs to the catalogue entry
http://hdl.handle.net/10107/1132312
And a link to a reference image (the version we wish to upload): http://hdl.handle.net/10107/1132312-11
Is this method exceptable?
2. I have registered with Phabricator in order to request the domain to be white-listed. Do a create a new task to make the request?
Thanks
Jason Evans. NLW

This will probably fail because: 1 - GWT probably doesn't follow HTTP redirections (although this might be good if someone can confirm this) 2 - You will have to add both domain names to the white-list and the first one (handle.net) seems to be pretty generic and the strategy is to allow only what is absolutely necessary.
I would tend to recommend to try to get directly links to *.llgc.org.uk and white-list only this domain.

Yes, here an example: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T91927
A small side remark: In your example, the picture your URL points to suffers from two weaknesses which will impairs its reusing potential if uploaded: * The quality is not really good: ~100ppi (better have around 300ppi) * The format JPG generates automatically a loss of quality. A format like TIFF (without JPEG compression of course) should be preferred (if possible at all).
That said, although Commons is primary interested in high quality pictures, none of these problems is blocking to upload the pictures.

GWToolset will follow the redirect.

also, i created an example based on the url you provided and it worked locally without issue after i whitelisted hdl.handle.net and dams.llgc.org.uk.
i suggest that once you get the access and whitelisting sorted that you experiment on the beta server first: http://commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:GWToolset
with kind regards, dan
Many thanks for this Dan - we're just finalising how we want to link to the objects in Commons, and this info is really helpful! Jason and I have just got access to the toolset on Beta and we'll be attending training in a fortnight, so hopefully we'll be good to go after that.
Best wishes,
Siân
