Description

Javascript-based tools on Wikimedia Commons might need extra attention with the transition to structured data. There are only a few Javascript developers on Commons, and there is quite a backlog.

Some possible steps (feel free to edit this task):

Identify which tools we are dealing with. What is the tool, what does it do, who are its most active maintainers?
Examine each tool individually: it might be made obsolete entirely because of the arrival of structured data, it might need immediate or less immediate updates, or even a rewrite...
Decide, together, on the best way to make the transition process go as smooth as possible. If it takes more effort then can be handled by the current maintainers: maybe this can be addressed in a hackathon, maybe we can attract other developers to help out...
Make the transitions happen.

• SandraF_WMF added a parent task: T173971: Get community input on tools, bots and workflows on Wikimedia Commons that will likely be affected by Structured Data on Commons..Oct 13 2017, 6:03 PM

Removing MediaWiki-extensions-Gadgets since the project is about the Gadgets infrastructure, not individual Gadgets themselves.

(Assuming low priority)

I'd say it's normal priority. Will probably not be solved in one quarter though.

I think we need a designated page with a table where people can add their favorite gadgets, and where we can discus potential impact of Structured Data on them.

Yes, I also thought in that direction. I can make a start for that in the upcoming weeks.

We have a shared spreadsheet to inventorize All The Tools here. Please add. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GVR0jghBWuAGqJaT7KVXigMYWWNzdnrnwI9nWqfJrCo/edit#gid=0

And a growing list of tracked tools on wiki: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data/Get_involved/Tools Input on how to improve this process is very welcome!

A reminder that this is on the "Ready to Go" column: maybe you can already evaluate whether it's something for next quarter instead (as a minimum, to this month's column if you're working on it?). Thank you!

(sorry for the noise.)

This task is too broad in scope to really function. I'll make new tasks for tool work as they come up.
