SVG-related

• Mostly hand-written SVG files
  • {{HandSVG|3=v}}: valid SVG; hand-coded SVG (using a text editor)
  • {{SimplSVG}}: SVG files that have been hand-edited using a text editor to simplify the code and remove useless/wasteful content; the template adds the Category:SVG Simplified and includes a disclaimer to not replace the file with an Inkscape-generated version.
• Cleaned-up Inkscape SVGs: {{Inkscape-hand}}{{Igen/sni}}{{clear}}
  • {{Inkscape-hand}} is for svg files drawn with Inkscape but then hand-edited to remove cruft, and make the code more readable and organized
  • {{Igen/sni}} produces the same warning that {{SimplSVG}}) has, to not replace the file with an Inkscape-generated version
  • {{Clear}} is needed because the {{Igen/sni}} template does not clear its floats
• Hand-crafted SVGs
  • Should be manually added to Category:Structured SVG (for SVG files whose code is clean, human-readable, and reflecting the geometry and semantic structure of the image)
  • Some great examples: File:Star empty.svg, File:5lines p4.svg
• SVG Translate tool

Structured data

• Using the in-wiki search functionality, based on CirrusCearch
  • Example: JPG files in category "Waldir Pimenta in group pictures" without a "depicts Waldir Pimenta" (P180=Q117356357) statement
  • More advanced queries (including qualifiers) seem to not be working — see here
    • I asked around in the Wikimedia Hackathon 2024 and both Nikki and Lucas Werkmeister said the querying for SDC does not work well
• Using the Commons-specific SPARQL endpoint for querying files' structured data
  • All files that depict Waldir Pimenta
  • Files that depict Waldir Pimenta but lack a region specifier
    • Excludes files that already have a qualifier in the depicts statement, and includes only files that depict entities other than Waldir Pimenta
  • Files in [[Category:Waldir Pimenta in group pictures]] without a <depicts: Waldir Pimenta> statement.
  • WikiCrowd custom challenge for all files in subcategories of Category:Waldir Pimenta without a depicts: Waldir Pimenta statement
• Identifying and categorizing images by camera, based on EXIF data
  • Quarry query 87662 (v1082639/1050091) to get images that have "Pixel 4a" in the img_metadata column of the image table, but are not in Category:Taken with Google Pixel 4a (by missing an entry in the categorylinks table)
  • PagePile pile 106062, created from the Quarry query (given its ID)
    • Make sure to set Language=commons and Project=wikimedia at the top
    • Note: PagePile requires the Quarry query to return a page_title and optionally a page_namespace (I assume it is necessary for pages outside the main namespace, e.g. files).
  • QuickCategories batch 11369 created from the PagePile
    • Set the "Actions" field to "+Category:Taken with Google Pixel 4a"
    • Set the "Title" field to "based on EXIF data" (this will be the title of the edit group, and also appended to the edit summaries)
  • Discussions in the Village Pump:
