Structured Data Across Wikimedia/SLIS announcement

Deployment of Section-level Image Suggestions on your wiki

Hello everybody from the Structured Data Across Wikimedia team!

During June, a new feature called “Section-level Image Suggestions” will be deployed on your wiki, and we are interested in hearing your feedback.

Similarly to what happens with Image suggestions – that is already enabled on your wiki for articles – the feature will focus on improving the process to add images in specific sections of articles and it is intended for experienced contributors. In other words, if you have more than 500 edits, and have edited or put in your watchlist a particular article or set of articles, you are eligible to receive these notifications.

Our goal is to embed the suggestions in the user’s existing Wikipedia activities through weekly notifications, thus increasing the likelihood they will review such suggestions and add selected images as part of their current editing workflow. This new set of notifications will combine with the Image suggestions ones, whenever it will be possible.

Contributors can choose to edit via wikitext or Visual Editor, and can review the image and the article information in the notification. If you don’t want to receive them anymore or at all, you can disable them in your preferences.

You can read more about the workflow on the project’s page on MediaWiki.

If you have feedback or questions, you are encouraged to leave it here, on the local hub talk page or on my talk page.

Hope to hear from you soon!
