Add Image
This page contains information about the infrastructure used for the Add Image structured task project (T285587). For project information, see mw:Growth/Personalized first day/Structured tasks/Add an image.
High-level summary
Add Image is the infrastructure behind a feature which recommends images to be added to articles which don't have any, and provides a streamlined editing interface for doing so. It consists of:
- A dataset (currently a one-off) of articles with no images, and image recommendations based on images in other Wikimedia projects which are connected to the article in some way via Wikidata.
- A
hasrecommendation:imageCirrusSearch keyword for searching for articles with recommendations (currently based on having loaded the dataset into weighted tags in the search index as a one-off). - An image recommendation API (repo, user docs, ops docs) that provides the information in the dataset for the queried page IDs.
- Previously a proof-of-concept API implementation (sandbox, repo, project page) was used, and is still the only API that's publicly available.
- Integration with the structured task functionality of the GrowthExperiments extension: a browsing interface on
Special:Homepageand VisualEditor-based custom editing interface.
Infobox exclusion
The GrowthExperiments extension adds a new hastemplatecollection:<collection> CirrusSearch keyword for searching for articles containing any one of a list of templates (typically a list so long that hastemplate: cannot be used). This is used for excluding articles with infoboxes: it defines the infobox and infoboxtest collections based on the GEInfoboxTemplates and GEInfoboxTemplatesTest community configuration fields.
To update, you can set GEInfoboxTemplatesTest and test with the hastemplatecollection:infoboxtest -hastemplatecollection:infobox and -hastemplatecollection:infoboxtest hastemplatecollection:infobox searches what infobox-containing articles would be added to / removed from the filter.
The list of infoboxes is generated by the tgr/infobox-templates script.
