Files are now up, at
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_released_by_British_Library_Images_Online
Luckily I asked for and was given file-mover permissions last week, so I
am now slowly going through and restoring the punctuation. 35 done, 395
to go...
I'll come back with some more thoughts in a bit; but even in this form
thank you for a very useful tool.
Best regards,
James.

hi james,
glad to hear that you're getting ready to upload with gwtoolset. sorry that
you're running into an issue. at the moment the following characters are
replaced with a '-' in a title without a method to override any of them:
'#','<','>','[',']','|','{','}',':','¬','`','!','"','£','$','^','&','*','(',')','+','=','~','?',',',';',"'",'@'
this list was comprised based on several wiki articles:
* https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:File_naming
*
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(technical_restrictions)
* http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Bad_title
* http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Titleblacklist
i'm not sure who would or what process would “approve” the issue of relaxing
that restriction to also allow the characters: '(',')',','. maybe someone else
on this list would know. my guess is that if the commons admins and community
are okay with it, then we can go ahead and allow those characters, but i don't
know how that's done. maybe via an rfc or village pump article with votes ...
with kind regards,
dan

Hi,
I'm about to upload a few hundred images that have been released by the British
Library.
I am all set to go, with carefully designed Commons filenames; but the
GWtoolset uploader is wrecking all the commas and brackets in my filenames.
What I want is:
File:Large flowering sensitive plant (Mimosa grandiflora) - New illustration of
the Sexual System of Carolus von Linnaeus (1807) - BL.jpg
File:Cherries - Pomona Britannica (1812), pl.10 - BL.jpg
File:Rape threshing - The costume of Yorkshire (1814), plate XV - BL.jpg
What it's giving me is:
File:Large flowering sensitive plant -Mimosa grandiflora- - New illustration of
the Sexual System of Carolus von Linnaeus -1807- - BL.jpg
File:Cherries - Pomona Britannica -1812-- pl.10 - BL.jpg
File:Rape threshing - The costume of Yorkshire -1814-- plate XV - BL.jpg
How do I turn this behaviour off, please, or how do I work around it, to get
the more easily human-readable names that I want?
Thanks,
James Heald.
