Wikimedia Commons & Pattypan
Channel: Wikimedia Nederland
Date: 2019-11-22

Pattypan is an easy to use tool to prepare online and offline photos or videos, add metadata and upload the files in batches to Wikimedia Commons.

It is a Java application that makes use of a spreadsheet and allows for a high amount of flexibility when proper, detailed image descriptions are important for the images' reuse on Wikimedia projects, for example when you work at a cultural heritage institution.

We will look at Pattypan from a newbie perspective, and address the following topics:

Wikimedia Commons
metadata on Wikimedia Commons (templates)
copyright on Wikimedia Commons (& copyright templates)
uploading with Pattypan: step-by-step demonstration
After this workshop, you will be able to start working on one of the Pattypan-related work sessions that are on Phabricator.
