The Noun Project holds over 1 million openly licensed icons, however the options for mass importing them are very limited (terms of use for API).
A solution would be to create a tool that helps people upload to Commons icons previously downloaded from The Noun Project. The tool should allow to upload one or many icons as needed whilst making sure the upload adds relevant information to the file on Commons. See an example of information added here with this file imported through a bot.
Also, CC BY-SA icons have the credit within the file written under the icon. This should be removed as the template added to the icon during upload already includes credit: name, author, link, etc.
Use the uploader: https://thenoun-uploader.toolforge.org
Next steps:
- Wait for the Oauth consumer to be approved.
- Troubleshoot autoloading issue in ToolForge related to Composer
- Test the tool in production and update the source code
- Switch from writing on sandbox to uploading the actual SVG file
