Background:

Within the Add an Image suggested edit task, we suggest images for articles that do not currently have any images. When an article already has an existing infobox, it was a requirement to to insert the image into the infobox instead of into the lead of the article. We ultimately decided to remove this from the scope of the original release, and pick it up after the main flow. The Android version of "Add an image" supports the 5 most popular formats of infoboxes for English Wikipedia (not covering all possible situations), and we want to at least match that behavior. Shay investigated how often this is part of en.wiki edits, and in April, 60% of edits made were into the infobox, 40% into the top of the article.

Shortly after release, we heard feedback that they want images to be inserted into the infobox, highlighting the importance of this behavior. However in our analysis, we saw that none of the English Wikipedia reverted edits had any indication that they were reverted due to not being inserted in infobox.

A spike T359134 has been completed on this implementation and the remaining effort is estimated between Small and Medium.

User stories

• In articles that have no images and that have an info box, I would like an an option to add the image directly to the image parameter of the info box so that users see the image in a useful format.
• As a patroller on en.wiki, I want suggested edits for images to automatically go into common infoboxes so I don't waste time adding them afterwards.

Requirements:

• Images added through Image Recommendations are automatically inserted into infoboxes for the top 5 most popular infoboxes on English Wikipedia
