While you're running the clean-up script to fix all the apostrophes, you
might also prefer the neater (and warning-free) {{PD-old-70-1923}}
rather than {{PD-US}}{{PD-old}} -- though in fact, for these images of
3D objects, the license needed is surely {{Cc-zero}} or something
similar, because there needs to be some release of the photographer's
copyright.
I agree about the hyphen -- really, it could use an extra space either
side of the hyphen, to more clearly separate the object short name from
the museum identifier.
Best,
James.

The way GWT handles the Artwork template is not ideal, and things like
the use of a hyphen in the filename, or the creator template for
non-existent authors are not user customizable. If I proceed with this
run as is, then I will also need to run a little post-upload
house-keeping on the way apostrophes have been converted to html
codes.
This run should be around 2,000 images and is limited to pre-20th
century artworks from Japan. If this works well, then I'll look at
other collections themes. I may need to tweak some category mapping in
the background but the source of metadata as well as the image is now
direct from the Rijksmuseum. Unfortunately there was limited reliable
metadata in English, so I have stuck to one language.
I suggest comments are raised on the project page at
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Batch_uploading/Art_of_Japan_in_the_Rijksmuseum>
(opinions section) unless they are of more general interest for all
GWT users.
