Problem: Many GLAM institutions make images available on their website which can be copies to Commons. These have to manually be download/uploaded one by one and metadata copied across.
Proposed solution: A way for Wikimedia Commons to take a URL and copy the image to Commons with descriptions and relevant metadata, including links back to the source.
Who would benefit: Все.
More comments: GLAM institutions like Libraries Tasmania / Tasmanian Archives have thousands of public domain images on their website (example). To add each one manually to Commons would take forever. A tool like this would help users of Wikimedia projects add more media, help GLAM institutions quickly share their own content, and make sharing images more accessible to new comers during training events.
