In this workshop we are going to take a look at Pattypan, a tool for mass uploading images to Wikimedia Commons. It is a Java application and 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 (and that are assigned to this tasks as related tasks).

Preparation
For this workshop, please install in advance:

  • Pattypan 19.06
  • latest version of java (Pattypan will give you a link upon installation if you do not have Java yet)
  • Libre Office calc or Microsoft Excel (in case you do not have it)
