Pattypan is an open-source tool written in Java by Yarl and designed to upload files to Wikimedia Commons and other Wikimedia projects.
Information
Upload files to Wikimedia Commons. The Spreadsheet Way.
- Pattypan is a desktop uploader that enables a high amount of flexibility when proper, detailed image descriptions are important for the images' reuse on Wikimedia projects.
It lets the user:
- Choose a Commons template, for instance: {{Artwork}}, {{Information}}, {{Photograph}}, then choose needed, specific description fields from that template;
- Choose a user-generated wikicode for file description and license information;
- It supports the input of wikicode in any field
- It makes uploads from one source faster (all repetitive information needs only to be copied across)
- It offers users a preview of the files' descriptions on Commons before uploading, and lists any errors or empty fields
- The program generates a spreadsheet in a folder containing files to be uploaded. The users then select their desired description template/fields, and fill in the spreadsheet with relevant information (and wikicode where necessary).
- It offers the option to deselect unnecessary fields, and to pre-fill selected fields for all files.
