--- Comment #11 from Fæ <[email protected]> ---
It really would be better done independent of the image pages being generated.
This is just an upload of a several numbered directories full of files.

I do not know the contents of the disk in advance, and if this is to be a
GWToolkit upload (which is what we really want), then the idea is to to host
the files somewhere on a WMF server so that I can generate an xml file (using
their listing) which includes URLs to the internal files and supplies the
metadata from the Wellcome catalog which is correlated to template parameters.

If there is some reason that the files cannot be uploaded to a (temporary)
folder on a server without creating all the Commons pages at the same time,
then I could generate a special text file (or text files for every image, which
I presume is what would be needed for 'importImages.php'), but this means I
need to receive the Wellcome disk first at home and hold on to it for
(probably) a couple of weeks (as it requires a bit more non-standard fiddling
about), before posting the reworked disk to the WMF myself. Less ideal, as I
doubt that I could have much of the batch upload done in advance of Wikimania.
