Document "minimal", (nearly) fully Lua- and SDC-driven infobox templates for Structured Data on Commons
Open, Stalled, Needs TriagePublic

Description

We don't have a clear overview yet of infobox templates on Wikimedia Commons that have been built to be (almost) fully Lua-driven (and auto-populated from the file's StructuredDataOnCommons).

There's the category https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Lua-based_templates but it doesn't explicitly point out those templates that are already fully (or nearly fully) SDC-driven

Such Lua-driven, minimal infobox templates are especially useful for batch upload tools like OpenRefine, as they can be used inside such tools to make the file upload experience much easier for users: in this way, the user can focus on correctly modeled structured data and doesn't have to bother (as much) with also outlining Wikitext in parallel.

Event Timeline

Thanks for participating in the Hackathon! We hope you had a great time.

  • If this task was being worked on and resolved at the Hackathon: Please change the task status to resolved via the Add Action...Change Status dropdown, and make sure that this task has a link to the public codebase.
  • If this task is still valid and should stay open: Please add another active project tag to this task, so others can find this task (as likely nobody in the future will look back at the Hackathon workboard when trying to find something they are interested in).
  • In case there is nothing else to do for this task, or nobody plans to work on this task anymore: Please set the task status to declined.

Thank you,
Phabricator housekeeping service

Spinster changed the task status from Open to Stalled.May 22 2025, 8:58 AM
Spinster removed Spinster as the assignee of this task.

I'm removing myself as assignee and am tagging this task as Stalled. I haven't had the capacity to follow SDC-related community documentation in detail and don't know if this has been further done, finished, or not. The page I started that was mentioned above hasn't been added to or linked to by anyone else, and so I think it's eventually best to either remove or redirect it. (I do think it's pretty useful, but if others are not working on this, it may not be as useful as I think it is.)
