  • Problem: If you want to edit EXIF data (eg. correcting the date, adding a EXIF information for description, author, licence, GPS etc.) you have to reupload the entire file.
  • Proposed solution: Some edit tool that allows you to edit the EXIF info directly via the webpage like a text editor. It would also be a good idea if the tool had some options like exiftool to correct your date in a very easy way.
  • Who would benefit: People who upload a file to Commons and want to edit the EXIF data
  • More comments: So that the EXIF data can not just not destroyed by some user, the edits can be limited to the uploader of a file or a specialised group of users.

    As far as I know, there is an option to add custom EXIF fields to an image. If there would be an easy solution to add and edit EXIF data this could add up to an option for adding a new field to include eg. Wikidata item(s)
