Hi Kimmo,

Thanks for testing! Yes, please leave feature requests on the Talk page of https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Mobile_app/WLM_release . I think a blacklist property would be great, however I believe you would also need to get consensus within the Wikidata community in order to add that? Once the property is added in Wikidata itself we should be able to filter for it.

Cheers.

Hi Josephine Lim,

Is there any proper place for doing feature requests? After little testing I think that app would benefit from some kind of blacklist for unsuitable wikidata items for showing up on the map. It could be something like that if Wikidata item has P5008 value "Opt out WLM2021" (item) then it would not be shown on the map. This would enable the organizers easily to hide things which doesn't work on Commons apps map view.

Hi all,

Hope you've been well! We are stoked to announce that we have just released v3.1.0 of the Commons Android app with WLM integration, and it is available in alpha (closed) testing.

The reason for closed testing is to allow organizers to test the app before the start of the competition, and also for us to get bug reports ahead of time. The closed alpha version includes testing-related conveniences that aren't available in publicly-accessible versions, most notably allowing WLM uploads before 1 September (with test templates so as not to clutter the actual WLM uploads).

We hope to release the public beta by 1 September, just in time for the start of the competition, if all goes well.

For more information on how to access closed alpha testing, as well as implementation details, screenshots, FAQ, etc, please view https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Mobile_app/WLM_release .

On that page, we will also be taking requests for countries that want to have their Wikidata property added, or countries that want to opt out of in-app WLM uploads. Please post your request by 3 September if possible, so that we can release an app update with them within the first week of the competition.

Thank you all for taking this journey with us; we hope to be able to help bring new participants to the competition, or at the very least to provide a solid foundation for future WLM mobile implementations to build upon.

Best regards,
Josephine / @misaochan (Commons app project lead)
