File metadata cleanup

Fremskridt

Sådan fikser du filer

The File metadata cleanup drive was an effort started in September 2014 by the Wikimedia Foundation. Its goal is to fix file description pages and tweak templates to ensure that multimedia files consistently contain machine-readable metadata across Wikimedia wikis.

Hvad er dette? On Wikimedia wikis, many files use templates like {{Information}} to store and show basic information like an image description or its author. Humans can read and understand this, but automated tools need a little help to understand that "Jean-Luc Picard" is an author and that "CC-BY-SA" is a license. We need to make the information machine-readable, by adding hidden markers to the template. Hvorfor gør vi dette? Machine-readable data makes it easier to reuse Wikimedia content consistently with best practices for attribution. Examples of tools that use existing machine-readable data include: the stockphoto gadget on Commons; WikiWand; Media Viewer (desktop and mobile); the VisualEditor media search dialog. With machine-readable metadata, the mobile sites would be able to display information in a way that's adapted to smaller screens, instead of showing the full description page as it currently does. The PDF generator and offline readers like Kiwix are other tools that will benefit from this effort. Machine-readable data will also facilitate the transition to a structured data format in the future. Note that wikis hosting non-free content are required to identify it in machine-readable format by the Board's Licensing policy.

Involvér dig Hvad du kan gøre: Check if your wiki has files missing machine-readable metadata; Add information templates to files that don't have one; Add machine-readable markers to information and copyright templates.
