That's correct, the whole purpose of the cleanup drive is to make sure
that there's something scrape-able to begin with, i.e. to eliminate
the cases where you just get nothing useful back from the
CommonsMetadata extension. This sets the stage for potential further
work along the lines of
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data -- which is
pretty meaty and complex work in its own right.
