Feature summary
Allow contributors to optionally add the uploaded Commons video as a P10 (video) statement on a Wikidata item immediately after a successful upload in Clip2Commons.
Use case(s)
Many videos uploaded through Clip2Commons are intended to illustrate an existing Wikidata item.
Currently, contributors must:
- Upload the video to Wikimedia Commons using Clip2Commons.
- Open the corresponding Wikidata item in a separate tab.
- Edit the item manually.
- Add a P10 (video) statement pointing to the uploaded Commons file.
- Save the changes.
This additional workflow is repetitive and increases the likelihood that uploaded videos are never linked to their corresponding Wikidata items.
Benefits
- Reduces manual post-upload work for contributors.
- Encourages better integration between Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata.
- Improves discoverability and reuse of uploaded videos through structured data.
- Simplifies the contribution workflow, especially for new contributors.
- Helps ensure uploaded media is associated with the appropriate Wikidata item from the start.
