Subject: [Wikidata] Structured data on Commons: Multilingual captions beta testing
To: Wikimedia Commons Discussion List <commons-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>rg>,
<wikidata(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
The Structured Data on Commons team has begun beta testing of the first feature,
multilingual file captions, and all community members are invited to test it out. Captions
is based on designs discussed with the community [1][2] and the team is looking forward to
hearing about testing.
***If all goes well during testing, captions will be turned on for Commons around the
second week of January, 2019.***
Multilingual captions are plain text fields that provide brief, easily translatable
details of a file in a way that is easy to create, edit, and curate. Captions are added
during the upload process using the UploadWizard, or they can be added directly on any
file page on Commons. Adding captions in multiple languages is a simple process that
requires only a few steps.
The details:
There is [[mw:Help:File_captions|a help page available on how to use multilingual file
captions]]
Testing will take place on Beta Commons. If you don’t yet have an account set up there,
you’ll need one. (direct link:

)
Beta Commons is a testbed, and not configured exactly like the real Commons site, so
expect to see some discrepancies with UI elements like search
Structured Data introduces the potential for many important page changes to happen at
once, which could flood the recent changes list. Because of this, Enhanced Recent Changes
is enabled as it currently is at Commons, but with some user interface changes.
Feedback and commentary on the file caption functionality are welcome and encouraged on
the discussion page for this post:
