Bug ID: 43151
Summary: Commons uploads: Support uploads of data formats,
including CSV and ODB
Product: Wikimedia
Version: wmf-deployment
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized

There are currently no supported spreadsheet formats on commons. As this is
one of the most universal file and data types in the world, and wikitables are
both poor substitutes and only usable for data up to a few hundred rows, this
poses a problem.
The potential future existence of WikiData does not solve this problem; that
will simply be a place to store the cell-level data stored in spreadsheets. We
will have even more of a reason to have the original datasets stored on Commons
(or on WD itself, if it becomes a shared cross-Project namespace) then.
Support should at least include one of {CSV, ODB}. (See also bug 2089 for the
full suite of Office formats.)
