HandleCommonsOnOSMBot

Description

Public source for HandleCommonsOnOSMBot on Wikimedia Commons. HandleCommonsOnOSMBot adds {{Object location}} and {{OSMLink}} templates for Commons Files that are used on OpenStreetMap (using attributes [wikimedia_commons](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikimedia_commons) or [image](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:image)). Insofar, HandleCommonsOnOSMBot relies on the work of Usage Bot and goes through the media listes on the Files used on OpenStreetMap pages.

Details and Limitations

• HandleCommonsOnOSMBot won't add {{Object location}} if there's either an {{Object location}} or {{Location}} template present, regardless of its content. Currently, HandleCommonsOnOSMBot's sole task is to add missing data, not to emend existing geolocation data.
• HandleCommonsOnOSMBot will add {{Object location}} if there's one of the deprecated/experimental location templates present like {{Object location dec}} or similar. It won't replace those deprecated/experimental templates since there's no obviuous consensus on that point yet.
• HandleCommonsOnOSMBot won't add an {{OSMLink}} if there's a {{On OSM}} template present. Even if {{OSMLink}} seems to be the better choice for File: pages, there's no consensus yet to replace {{On OSM}} there.

Currently, HandleCommonsOnOSMBot isn't able to handle files that are used multiply on OpenStreetMap (on *different* OSM entities), for example File:Mangerstraße 8 Potsdam.jpg (used on https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/96850637 and https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/11178004), or which are referenced by the *same map feature* using both wikimedia_commons and image attributes* (for example, File:2009-05 Seddin 2.jpg referenced twice by https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/445939754).

In the first case, the best solution would be to add {{OSMLink}}s for each OSM entity; the position may differ, but since absolute precision isn't possible, we'll simply use the coordinates of the first OSM object found.

Currently, HandleCommonsOnOSMBot can't handle special OSM tagging where the wikimedia_commons or image attributes have *prefixes* (like artist:wikimedia_commons, see https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/artist:wikimedia_commons) or *suffixes* (like wikimedia_commons:4, see https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/wikimedia_commons%253A4).

Dependencies

HandleCommonsOnOSMBot requires the following packages:
