Creators with Wikidata items[edit]
A bot (or bots) has carelessly added (example: [1]) to many of my files a structured data "creator" property with the value and qualifiers:
![[1]](https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:St_Pancras_International_-_2013-02-01_-_Andy_Mabbett_-_07.JPG&diff=506451536&oldid=386112686){kind=link}
- some value
- Wikimedia username: Pigsonthewing
- author name string: Andy Mabbett
- URL: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/user:Pigsonthewing
While these may be strictly true, there is a Wikidata item (d:Q15136093) which better represents me.
The same occurs for other contributors.
Can a bot resolve this, for my files and others'?
At the very least this should look (in my case) like:
- Q15136093
- Wikimedia username: Pigsonthewing
- author name string: Andy Mabbett
- URL: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/user:Pigsonthewing
but removing the qualifiers (optionally retaining "author name string") may be better. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:48, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
De-dupe category[edit]
To my chagrin, it seems that nearly every other file in Category:WTTC Global Summit Saudi Arabia 2022 is a duplicate (they are duplicated on the Fickr account from which I just imported them).
Can someone de-dupe them, please?
They also need batch re-naming, with the prefix "WTTC Global Summit 2022 Saudi Arabia - ". Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:55, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
Person's last name in red in categories[edit]
There are categories of people where the person's last name is a red link. The manual steps I do are to create a new category of the surname where the only information is: {{Wikidata Infobox}} and [[Category:Surnames]]. The next step is to look up the last name in Wikidata and add the category name to P373 and the category name with Category as prefix for “Multilingual sites”. Is it possible for a bot to look up the categories where there is a red link to a last name and perform the actions described above? Wouter (talk) 11:34, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
- Just a few examples: Dmuszewski, Dejunowicz, Fijewski, Śródka and Łazarkiewicz. Wouter (talk) 16:42, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
Replace license tags in Category:The Remains of Tom Lehrer[edit]
The files in this category are tagged with {{cc-zero}}, but this is incorrect; they should be tagged with {{PD-author|Tom Lehrer}}. —CalendulaAsteraceae (talk • contribs) 04:52, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
- Never mind, I did it manually. —CalendulaAsteraceae (talk • contribs) 22:13, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
