Bug ID: 69534
Summary: Metadata improvement campaign
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: MultimediaViewer

I've been thinking. Even now that we don't have reliable information just yet,
we could probably make some sort of 'reliability' assessment of the data that
we scraped.
The goal is to improve the quality of the data presented by MediaViewer, it
would spur the community to action on these issues (which are now only visible
as 'failures' in media viewer, and not as 'editor feedback' in file description
pages.
On the file description, we could show a bar to registered users with more than
100 edits saying: "This image has 5% machine readable data. If you would care
to help improve this, please join the cleanup campaign."
The user could click it and you would see a list of "things that are missing or
unknown, or badly formatted". The campaign page would list tools like the "Add
{{Information}}" gadget that is available to users and similar data.
We could also give 'bonus' points for usage of {{data}}, {{author}} or similar
templates that are able to provide more specific and more semantic data to us
when moving stuff to a wikidata layer.
Perhaps Magnus Manske and Riilke would be able to assist in setting something
like that up with the community. Later we can retool all that into a gadget
that works for the migration to wikidata layer and people would already be used
to this workflow (and we can perhaps provide aggregate metrics by moving
everything to a better layer at that point in time).
