Hi,
A quick update on where we are:
* We're making progress globally!
https://tools.wmflabs.org/mrmetadata/historical_tallies.svg Thank you
all for your help; it's much appreciated :)
* On Commons, we're going to run incremental bot runs to add
{{information}} to files that don't have it, starting with the
simplest cases. If you have a bot or would like to get involved, join
us at
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Bots/Work_requests#Adding_the_In…
* Soon we'll be able to use CSS classes for information fields, in
addition to IDs. This will make it easier to add the markers to
templates with existing IDs, and those not using tables.

Don't forget that you can ask your questions at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:File_metadata_cleanup_drive if
you need help fixing templates and files on your wiki.
Thank you!

As you may have seen in Tech News, on the Wikimedia blog or at the
latest Metrics meeting, I'm currently leading a File metadata cleanup
drive, whose goal is to to fix file pages and tweak templates across
Wikimedia wikis, to ensure that multimedia files consistently contain
machine-readable metadata [1,2].
There's a detailed guide in many languages if
you're not sure how to proceed:
