Thanks for looking into this Dan. Two thoughts where other volunteers on this list might help out:
USER GUIDE - EXAMPLE FILE NAME FORMATS The user guide would really benefit from example formats for file names used in our projects. I tend to use: "File:<friendly description name up to 200 characters> <project abbreviation><unique identifier from GLAM source>.<extension>" with the project abbreviations normally being 3 or 4 letters (NARA, BL, NYPL) and the unique ID mostly being a string of numbers unique to the image/photograph, though this may be more complex for IDs relating to an artefact with multiple images. XML GWT VALIDATOR Though the GWT recommends a standard xml validator, it would be great if we had a "user hackable" xml/ingestion validator of our own. This could include odd Commons specific disallowed characters in file names as well as checking field lengths and highlighting missing fields depending on the template chosen.
