A recent change caused an invitation to use the new Computer-aided tagging tool to be displayed to all contributors after the successful upload of an [image|file]. This RfC discusses whether that notice should be displayed, and whether the tool is yet fit for use.
The invitation [should be|has recently been] turned off and should not be retuned until the conclusion of this RfC.
The RfC asks you to comment, and support or opposoe three propositions:
- The tool has serious technical flaws. It should not be advertised to users, aside from a limited testing exercise, until a further RfC agrees that there has been sufficient progress in resolving them
- The tool must not encourage users to add generic "keywords" or "tags" using depicts (P180); the terms "keyword" or "tag" (and derrivatves) are misleading and must not be used in this context. The tools should only add precise statements of what is depicted.
- The tool may add generic "keywords" or "tags", but using a new property for these, separate to depicts (P180).
