Username usurping: Criteria
editIs there a general (official or unofficial) criteria for usurping usernames (e.g. amount of edits across all Wikimedia projects, registered for a specific amount of time, etc.) or is it for anyone? WildMouse76 (talk) 00:23, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
GPS coordinates
editHello! I'm looking for a way to query the Wikimedia database using an API or any other system to retrieve images containing GPS coordinates. Is this possible? And second question: is there a way, when browsing the Wikipedia pages, to display all images of a category including the images from the subcategories? Thank you very much!
