The documentation page for the extension (which could
use some cleanup
& examples BTW) is at:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CommonsMetadata
Help modifying local templates accordingly is appreciated.
Ahem, "accordingly" how? That page has zero instructions, it claims it's
designed to work with stuff as it already is. Two sections are linked:
*
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Machine-readable_data#Machine_re…
(which actually talks of 2 formats, not 1)
*
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Machine-readable_data#Machine_re…
So I guess you're asking to add <td> id attributes and <span
class="licensetpl_XXX"> markers to all the information and license
templates?
By the way, this implies changing tens of thousands of templates across
all wikis, often protected or very esoteric... It would be about time we
recognise that local uploads are too big an effort we ask to most
"small" local communities, even just for licensing policy compliance,
and we start disabling them, centralising this burden on Commons.

I hope Commons multilingualism is on the radar: having ignored it for 9
years is one of the reasons we now have an explosive technical debt
hitting us every time we try to do even "simple" things.
