[edit] My bots

I'm the developer/operator of three bots

• User:QICbot (ec) handles image promotions, tagging, archival, and user notifications at COM:QIC
• User:VICbot (ec) handles image promotion, tagging, bookkeeping, and user notifications at COM:VIC
• User:DschwenBot (ec) runs on request and has performed tasks such as
  • extracting GPS coordinates from the EXIF data of uploaded images, and inserting {{Location}} templates.
  • finding uploaded {{geograph}} images without geocoding, fetching the location data from geograph.org.uk, and adding it to the image page.
  • finding animated GIF images and adding them to Category:Animated GIF

[edit] Commons:WikiMiniAtlas

Also available on the german, english, portugese, french, polish, and japanese wikipedias. A version for commons, which displays thumbnails of geocoded images on a panable and zoomable world map, has been activated by default for every user.

An off-site demo is available on the toolserver.

[edit] Coordinate conversion helper

This little helper assists you in geocoding your images. I like to add a {{Location}} template to my photos, to mark their location with global coordinates.

[edit] Slideshow

Another javascript plugin. It adds a full-screen slideshow functionality to all gallery blocks.

[edit] Pre-filled Special:Upload description

Tired of always entering the same stuff in Special:Upload Paste the following code into your monobook.js file and customize it:

//
// Insert a personalized Texttemplate into the Special:Upload edit box.
//
function setSpecialUploadTemplate()
{
 var uploadURL = 'http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&uselang=ownwork';

 // I upload mostly my own work
 document.getElementById('n-upload').firstChild.href = uploadURL;

 // preload input form
 if(window.location.href == uploadURL)
 {
  var editbox = document.getElementById('wpUploadDescription');
  if( editbox.value == '' )
  {
   editbox.value = "{"+"{Information\n"
                 + "|Description={{de| }} {{en| }}\n"
                 + "|Source=Own work\n"
                 + "|Date=\n"
                 + "|Author=[[User:Someuser|Some User]]\n"
                 + "|Permission=See license\n"
                 + "|other_versions=\n"
                 + "}"+"}\n\n"
                 + "== Licensing ==\n"
                 + "{"+"{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-2.5|author=I, [[User:Someuser|Some User]]}"+"}";
  }
 }
}

addOnloadHook(setSpecialUploadTemplate);

Note: the license IDs were changed recently. Please update the line with licensemenu.value = accordingly. --Dschwen 16:28, 7 February 2007 (UTC), and again --Dschwen 10:04, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Geo-data Extration

Sourcecode for geo-data extration from commons database dumps and readily extracted location data files can be found on my toolserver page.
