IA "Evacuation" of Public domain resources...Edit
See Commons:Village_pump/Proposals#Mass_"Evacuation"_copy_of_Public_domain_resources_from_Internet_Archive_to_Commons. IS this something one of your Bots could assist with, given the scripts F%C3%A6 was using to do User_talk:Fæ/CCE_volumes#Forks?
Category:Photographs of paintings by User:SailkoEdit
Hi Jarek, I just noticed this category. quite a few files in it still use {{Information}}. Any reason why these haven't been replaced like this? Otherwise I can have a bot do that. Multichill (talk) 21:08, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- We did talk about it couple years ago here. I think I created it in order to work on SDC data, but forgot about it. A lot of files there need help: Some are still using {{Information}}, and a lot are using {{Artwork}} with wrong fields. Many of those photographs could be added to Wikidata's image with frame (P7420). If you want to convert {{Information}} templates I can look into {{Artwork}}s. --Jarekt (talk) 21:15, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

- Bot is done with conversion of {{Information}}. Multichill (talk) 19:48, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Multichill: Nice. I will start converting {{Artwork}} templates.--Jarekt (talk) 02:19, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Multichill and Sailko: It took a while but all the files in Category:Photographs of paintings by User:Sailko have {{Art Photo}} template separating photograph and artwork metadata and licenses. Now it would be nice to connect more of them to Wikidata. Also a lot of them could also be used as image with frame (P7420). --Jarekt (talk) 03:42, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Tech News: 2022-28Edit
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- In the Vector 2022 skin, the page title is now displayed above the tabs such as Discussion, Read, Edit, View history, or More. Learn more. [1]
It is now possible to easily view most of the configuration settings that apply to just one wiki, and to compare settings between two wikis if those settings are different. For example: Japanese Wiktionary settings, or settings that are different between the Spanish and Esperanto Wikipedias. Local communities may want to discuss and propose changes to their local settings. Details about each of the named settings can be found by searching MediaWiki.org. [2]- The Anti-Harassment Tools team recently deployed the IP Info Feature as a Beta Feature at all wikis. This feature allows abuse fighters to access information about IP addresses. Please check our update on how to find and use the tool. Please share your feedback using a link you will be given within the tool itself.
Changes later this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
Some wikis will be in read-only for a few minutes because of a switch of their main database. It will be performed on 12 July at 07:00 UTC (targeted wikis).
Future changes
- The Beta Feature for DiscussionTools will be updated throughout July. Discussions will look different. You can see some of the proposed changes.

Object photoEdit
Hi Jarekt, now that Object photo is finally gone (many thanks for that) ... I wonder if it's worth bringing back? But in a different form! Using "Art Photo" is somewhat specific, since it's just supposed to be artwork, but there are many cases where I'd love to be able to say "this is a photo of this building" and bring in all the relevant info from Wikidata, in exactly the same way that Art Photo works. What do you (and @Multichill: ) think? Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 17:38, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- Mike, Currently {{Object photo}} template redirect to {{Art Photo}}, so you can use either name. That should help if the issue is that "Art Photo" term is too specific for some files. Was that what you had in mind? Or there should be some differences? --Jarekt (talk) 22:31, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- I was more worried about the tracking categories rather than anything else, TBH. For example, Category:Artworks with Wikidata item would get rather polluted with non-artworks, and I don't know how it would affect auto-imports to SDC... Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 06:15, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Mike Peel: I think we talked about this before, but didn't follow up on it. My use case would be:
- On File:Haarlem, Grote Kerk.jpg we have several depicts (P180) and one main subject (P921) statement set to Grote Kerk (Q1545193). A template should pull the relevant data about Grote Kerk (Q1545193) from Wikidata and display that in a user-friendly way. We probably want to add domain specific logic based on what the main subject is. We already have domain specific logic for artworks, logical next step would be buildings (everything covered by Wiki Loves Monuments). Later we can add other domains like taxonomy. Multichill (talk) 19:33, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Multichill: That's a good example. I'd prefer if we could approach this generally, without assuming artwork/building/taxonomy. But whatever would work. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 19:35, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
- The approach should definitely be generic (general), but in a modular way so it's easy to add domain specific logic. Multichill (talk) 19:39, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Multichill and Mike Peel: Sorry I was not around last few days. Most of the logic {{Artwork}} uses seems to be valid for other items. We do have small differences between {{Artwork}}, {{Book}} and {{Photograph}} which are all powered by Module:Artwork. Some other infoboxes like {{Map}} had very large number of other fields and was just too hard to add to already bursting Module:Artwork codebase. I feel like next template to add could be something to support artworks found in books (there were already some discussions about it) and maybe something for archival documents (like stuff here. --Jarekt (talk) 01:17, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
