Description:
The site Wikimedia Commons is in a strange situation: it's a global repository for a massive amount of media files, intended for use by anyone in the world, but seemingly 99% of its text contents (including file names, descriptions and categories) are only in English. Tied in with that is that search is difficult to do: though it's ostensibly a database of images, there is no way to do a structured search, to find, say, all images that depict subject X, taken in year Y, with file size less than Z. The way out of this is via the structured data within Commons, which allows for storing Wikidata-like information about each file, in a way that is language-neutral and queryable. Unfortunately, there have been few tools that support either usage or creating of Commons' structured data. I have been involved with the creation of three tools that help fill this gap: Commons Walkabout, for browsing and searching the structured data AutoCats, for inline display of quasi-categories based on the structured data A planned script, which will hopefully be completed before this talk is given, that would auto-populate the structured data of files on Commons based on their categories Together, these tools can hopefully help to "fix" Wikimedia Commons. This talk will cover these tools, and give some general thoughts on how these kinds of tools can improve the usability of Commons and other Wikimedia/MediaWiki sites.
