At the National Library of Wales we are now at the stage where we need to
white-list our domain in order to start testing the Toolset. I have a couple of
questions at this point.
Great :)
1. We would like to link uploads to image handles rather than a URL
Here is an example of an object that re-directs to the catalogue entry
http://hdl.handle.net/10107/1132312
And a link to a reference image (the version we wish to upload):
http://hdl.handle.net/10107/1132312-11
Is this method exceptable?
This will probably fail because:
1 - GWT probably doesn't follow HTTP redirections (although this might
be good if someone can confirm this)
2 - You will have to add both domain names to the white-list and the
first one (handle.net) seems to be pretty generic and the strategy is to
allow only what is absolutely necessary.
I would tend to recommend to try to get directly links to *.llgc.org.uk
and white-list only this domain.
2. I have registered with Phabricator in order to request the domain to be
white-listed. Do a create a new task to make the request?
Yes, here an example:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T91927
A small side remark: In your example, the picture your URL points to
suffers from two weaknesses which will impairs its reusing potential if
uploaded:
* The quality is not really good: ~100ppi (better have around 300ppi)
* The format JPG generates automatically a loss of quality. A format
like TIFF (without JPEG compression of course) should be preferred (if
possible at all).
That said, although Commons is primary interested in high quality
pictures, none of these problems is blocking to upload the pictures.
