streamline interface[edit]

e.g. the "OK" and "publish" buttons are located nearly on opposite sides of the screen most of the time. --17:48, 29 February 2020 Chewzy

Manually choose selection of images to run the tool with[edit]

I can imagine wanting to run the tool on images of a specific category. But currently you can't select that ♦♦♦thibaultmol♦♦♦ (talk) 14:17, 29 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Proposed categories[edit]

My biggest frustration is being unable to add tags that I know, but are not not recognised. I would love have a button for a proposed tag that either could be added to the accepted list of categories, or rejected if the powers that be think it is unjustified.

Proposed Categories II[edit]

Why does the tool suggest heaps of tags it thinks it recognizes in the image but nothing that comes from the image description, the categories already assigned or the file name? If I have already indicated in the image description and in the categories what can be seen in the image, could this be taken as a suggestion?

Existing tags[edit]

Why should I enter tags even though they already exist? -- F. Riedelio • 💬 11:20, 17 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Timing[edit]

When I received a notification for this tool today, it was about 27 hours after my last upload. But that wasn’t the upload that appeared in the tool; it insists on starting with a much older upload.

The tool should be available at the time of upload, and I should be able to choose which upload(s) to work with each time I use the tool. This is related to the suggestion above to choose which files (from all files, not just the user’s own uploads) to work with.

Is anyone actually reading this page? Or is it like the Upload Wizard feedback page that quietly died? Brianjd (talk) 10:55, 20 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The suggestions are currently essentially useless for images of biological taxa[edit]

I welcome work on such tooling but think there is a long way to go before I would be able to actually use it for the intended purpose. For example, most of the images for biological taxa are already annotated via categories down to the species level (and often even further), and those categories are hierarchical in a way that follows the taxonomic tree. It is thus unhelpful if the tool simply suggests higher-level taxon names like "Reptilia" for a file already categorized as being about a particular reptile species, with that category correctly positioned in the tree under "Reptilia" and the corresponding Wikidata items also all existing and properly tagged. For that particular file, "Potamites strangulatus strangulatus", "Potamites strangulatus trachodus" and "Potamites ecpleopus" (all mentioned in the title and description) would have been much better suggestions. The tool should also recognize that some of the most relevant tags might not yet exist and perhaps facilitate their creation. Of the options I was presented with for that file, only "photograph" represented an aspect not yet present in the existing category annotations, so I added it, but given that there is a rich subtree of categories under "photograph", it would probably have been more useful to go for something more specific, e.g. "Photograph of animal". For another file, the suggestions were mostly art-related and none of them useful as given. Daniel Mietchen (talk) 12:46, 20 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Unfortunately, the tool seems to be fixated entirely on image analysis without using any of the other information that is present, e.g. from the description or from the categories. I still cannot understand why anyone can think that this is a useful and intelligent method. except when there is no other information. --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 14:02, 20 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
