In this step, you upload your files and data to Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata.
Header 1
Upload the new data items and/or media files to Wikidata and/or Commons.
- Start with small test batches to check for structural errors.
- Upload in manageable batches. Don't make your batches too large (hundreds rather than thousands) – correcting mistakes in thousands of data items or files at once is not fun.
- Occasionally check uploads during the process, to prevent errors from propagating.
Tools
Wikimedia Commons:
- Upload Wizard for simple uploads of up to 50 files. Offers no options for refined metadata.
- Pattypan, a user-friendly batch upload tool that works with spreadsheets and that allows for refined details in metadata.
- GLAMwiki Toolset, an advanced upload tool for XML feeds of large file batches. Requires days of lead time and a request for permission to use the tool.
Wikidata:
- QuickStatements, create or update Wikidata items using tab-delimited or CSV files
- OpenRefine (3.0 ) tool that has powerful upload functionality for Wikidata
For both:
- Bots / scripts operated by Wikimedia community members. (Wikidata bot requests) (Wikimedia Commons bot requests)
