Pattypan - how to upload to Commons using a spreadsheet

Abstract/description

Learn how to do a bulk upload of images (or other content) into Commons using a spreadsheet

Relationship to Wikimedia Australia, Wiki skills, the Wikmedia Movement

Tools like Pattypan are useful when you have a set of photos and a spreadsheet with their metadata, a situation we often have when working with a GLAM, whose catalogue tools can oftern produce a spreadsheet of metadata. The challenge is usually with the mapping of subject terms from the GLAM into Commons categories and we will cover techniques for doing this.

Session type

People who are currently uploading indivdual photos to Commons but have the potential to use a spreadsheet, e.g. in partnership with an organisation with a catalogue of images that can be extracted/downloaded as a spreadsheet.
