Hi Monica (and list) I am working with a non profit environmental institution in Panama that > wants to upload pictures of natural landscapes to Wikimedia Commons. I > found the GWToolset and have been reading how to use it and preparing the > metadata to run a small test. > Sounds good :)

Usually, TemplateData are added using <templatedata> block and JSON syntax. On Wikimedia Commons, we have long been using {{TemplateBox}} to document our templates, so it was modified in order to automagically output TemplateData. The {{Information}} template, as well as its documentation, on the Beta Cluster was imported from Commons a long time ago, at a time where there was no TemplateData there. I updated [1] the documentation to the most recent version. {{Information}} now outputs TemplateData on the Beta Cluster [2]. It can be used by the GWToolset. Please try again Monica, and let us know if it goes well :-) [1] http://commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Diff/65288 [2] https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=templatedata&format=jsonfm&titles=Template%3AInformation -- Jean-Frédéric
