As the name suggests, it's optimized for providing API access to metadata for files on Commons, but it will also work for project-local uploads (e.g. fair use metadata on en.wp) -- provided that the templates used for describing metadata emit the same machine-readable information. The format for emitting such machine-readable metadata is documented here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Machine-readable_data The documentation page for the extension (which could use some cleanup & examples BTW) is at: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CommonsMetadata Help modifying local templates accordingly is appreciated. All best, Erik -- Erik Möller VP of Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Foundation -- Erik Möller VP of Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Multimedia mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/multimedia
