Jane: How are you doing the upload, how is your tool? Can you make batches?
We have a project for preparing metadata before a batch upload and we
assume GWToolset for the upload. But then we cannot make changes to the
actual upload.
In the upload phase with both image and metadata it would be great to
- Write data to Wikidata, retrieve the new Qid
- Upload to Commons with the new Qid and
- automatically construct the artwork template
We are also in the process of enabling batch imports to the Wikimaps
Warper. So I would add, that if it's a map, we would like to
- retrieve the pageid of the new Commons filepage and
- use the pageid in the batch import to Wikimaps Warper
hmmm
Cheers

Susanna, Did you read my mind? I have exactly the same
questions!! For my
own work on artworks where I am searching individual files for upload to
both Commons and Wikidata, I have created my own tool to prepare an artwork
template for commons at the same time as creating a new item on Wikidata
(using quick statements).
The only tools I am aware of are the ones Magnus has so kindly made
available to use. Personally I use the "create Commons creator template
from a Wikidata biographical item" and modify the output slightly to create
a category as well, when I find artworks on Commons that are as yet
uncategorized. Unfortunately there is no "Create a Wikidata item from this
file with artwork template on Commons", but I would love to have that too.
Maybe worth creating a wish for the wishlist survey on Meta for this?
Best, Jae

I am trying to catch up with the discussion about
using Wikidata data in
Wikimedia Commons. Here are some questions that have come up with the work
with our GLAM partners as well as thinking about the Map template.
What is the current status of the Artwork & other metadata templates as
well as Creator and Institution templates as opposed to data on Wikidata?
Should I just encourage to place the same artist & artwork metadata in all
of them + Wikipedia infoboxes, or could I focus on Wikidata and create
snippets that read that data from Wikidata? What's the policy, are there
Lua scripts and templates for that on Commons? What will happen if I try to
create some?
Cheers,
