Facilitate (automatize, guide, ... ¿?) action of wikiArSers in Commons
created on: 07:01, 8 August 2013
Project idea edit
To facilitate to wikiArs participants (students, teachers, wikimedian tutors) some actions in Commons like:
- Uploading images and fill the correct contents (categories, templates, ...) > for students
- Creating Commons Partnerships pages for every school, and associate categories > for teacher and/or wikimedian tutor
- Update School Commons Partnership pages > for teacher and/or wikimedian tutor
Notes from IdeaLab, 8 august 2013:
- We can combine the customization of UploadWizard using upload campaigns and a GuidedTour to guide students on uploading contributions and also in creating their user pages, and other useful actions.
- For that we will need permissions to put javascript in MediaWiki namespace in Commons
- Translation could be a challenge. It's preferred not to need a Guide for every language.
- We can use mw:Extension:InputBox to have a button to create the Commons Partnership pages
- Then, how to create associate pages and categories? Another buttons? With a parserFunction conditional #ifexist?
- How to deal with different languages? Using Translate extension and including tags in the preload page? Or having a button for every language?
- We can use GuidedTour to guide wikimedian tutor to create school pages.
- What to use for updating these pages? A bot? (finally :-)
Project goals edit
- More easy for newbies, less repetitive for tutors: to guide students in witch actions have them to do in Commons
- More easy for wikiArS promoters. Easy and quick ways to do usual tasks on Commons.
