Automatically insert image recommendations into infobox for German
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Background

For the Android "Article images" suggested edits, we automatically add the image into the top of the article. On English, we have accounted for a few of the most popular types of infoboxes, and add the image there when possible. However because each language does templates differently, we did not account for every language and every template.

Requirement
  • For German Wikipedia, add article images into the infobox for the top 5 types of infoboxes

Event Timeline

  • For German Wikipedia, add article images into the infobox for the top 5 types of infoboxes

@HNordeenWMF (cc @ARamadan-WMF) This would probably need to be a question for the community, to determine which infoboxes are most commonly used.

It's not just a matter of the names of the infobox templates, but also the names of the parameters within those infoboxes that specify the image file and caption.
For example, Infobox Unternehmen (from the example edit in the task) uses the parameter Logo for the image, whereas Infobox Raumfahrer uses foto as the parameter, whereas Infobox Virus uses Bild as the parameter, and there are likely others.
