Feature summary

Allow contributors to optionally add additional Structured Data on Commons (SDC) statements while uploading a file through Clip2Commons, instead of requiring them to edit the file page after the upload is complete.

Examples of supported statements could include:

• Inception (P571)
• Creator (P170)
• Source of file (P7482)
• Coordinate location (P625)

Use case(s)

Currently, Clip2Commons allows contributors to upload media and provide basic metadata, but additional Structured Data on Commons statements must be added separately after the upload.

A typical workflow is:

1. Upload a file using Clip2Commons.
2. Wait for the upload to complete.
3. Open the uploaded file page on Wikimedia Commons.
4. Open the Structured Data editor.
5. Manually add statements such as the creator, inception date, source, or location.
6. Save the changes.

This extra workflow is repetitive, time-consuming, and often results in files being uploaded without complete structured metadata.

Benefits

• Encourages contributors to provide richer structured metadata during upload.
• Improves the quality and completeness of Structured Data on Commons.
• Reduces the need for manual post-upload edits.
• Makes uploaded media easier to discover, query, and reuse across Wikimedia projects.
• Streamlines the upload workflow for both new and experienced contributors.

''Note:'' This feature should build upon any existing Structured Data workflow (such as depicts support) rather than duplicating metadata entry.
