Friends.
Tamil Wikipedia announced a Media Contest to increase the commons media files like photos, audio and video in the wikipedia world. --cut--
DigiKam has it, but due to some issues, the mediawiki plugin is not released.
So, I started to write my own script for uploading all the files in a folder to upload to mediawiki.
Here is it. http://code.google.com/p/mediawiki-uploader
Thanks a lot for your innovation to ease upload of images to commons. Thanks also for making it open source, as it can be inspiration for others to improve it and/or build other tools, which can simiplify working with wiki projects.
Based on my previous experience with commons, the category addition is a pain point, even with current default tools on commons. Categories are not added as part of Upload. After few days, a bot will flag all those images with the uncategorised warning. Can you explore enhancing the tool to support categorisation along with Upload?
I will try your tool in couple of weeks and provide more feedback.
