Målgruppen är både gemenskapen på Wikimedia Commons och tekniskt folk på Wikimedia Foundation, men bör vara tillräckligt generell för att förstås av den vidare Wikimediagemenskapen. Utvald bild: '''Kom ihåg att ta många bilder!''' = CommonsDB at Wikimania = ''This blog post is the fifth in the series about CommonsDB. If you don't know about the project at all, I recommend checking out [https://diff.wikimedia.org/2025/07/31/introducing-commonsdb/ the first one], it also has a nice video introducing the project.'' The pilot project CommonsDB, the registry with public domain and freely licensed images, is in the later stage and it was with some excitement we wanted to test these ideas on the wider Wikimedia community. == The workshop == [[File:Wikimania 2026, program sessions 2.jpg|thumb|Karin Glasemann and Jan Ainali presenting CommonsDB at Wikimania.]] With this in mind, we've designed a workshop we titled "''Putting CommonsDB into use''". To get everyone to the same knowledge level on how the system works we had a short introduction and you can find these slides on Wikimedia Commons. From that we broke into groups to have the participants trying to solve different kind of questions of importance to the CommonsDB registry and the Wikimedia Commons community. For example, to avoid that "bad" uploads to Wikimedia Commons are being declared to the CommonsDB registry the groups discussed various factors that can act as signal to understand if an image is ready to be declared to the registry or if it should be held off for a while since the risk for deletion is considerable. Factors such as user rights, time since upload, metadata and templates were discussed and the groups came with many suggestions that widened our view of what to take into consideration. Taking these factors in consideration will be important if the project moves into a continuous phase with an aim to cover all current and future images on Wikimedia Commons. When criteria like this have been defined and tested for the CommonsDB project, they will likely also be useful for others that want to reuse Wikimedia Commons content in a streaming way and still want to safeguard their image selection somewhat. === Insights === == The hackathon == While we at the previous hackathons had been hacking a bit ourselves to create prototypes on how finding similar images through CommonsDB can assist a user in the upload process, this time we instead were available for other developers looking to integrate such searches in their tools. There were two developers with related ideas. One who wants to create an interface for Wikimedia Commons focusing more on exploration and in that have an option to show similar images. While our previous use case mainly show really similar images, thanks to the bit distance, it can be "loosened up" and experimentation with this can be done. Another developer were interested in doing similar matching as our prototypes, but integrated in external upload tools rather than the upload wizard. Both of these would be very interesting, and we hope that the work continues after the hackathon. == CommonsDB contributing in other sessions == [[Kategori:CommonsDB registry|Wikimedia Hackathon Blogginlägg]] j8cqlvfyf6bfv93oyyt4r0uptdvu69f
