Hoe krijg ik Camera location automatisch bij mijn fotos ?

Ik wil bij een flink aantal fotos graag dat ze op OpenStreetMap verschijnen en dat gaat via Camera Locaton denk ik. Vroeger ging dat automatisch. HOe krijg ik dat voorelkaar ? In de Metadata zit bijna altijd GPS informatie.

templates using the data found in the EXIF headers of newly uploaded files. JakobHosp (talk) 20:59, 6 July 2025 (UTC)

@JakobHosp: I think User:DschwenBot used to do that. That bot broke down in 2022. I see several topics about that at User talk:Dschwen. I guess it was never replaced? That's a pity. Multichill (talk) 20:26, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

@JakobHosp: I guess this bot was no longer needed as the Upload Wizard add this based on the EXIF data. I don't know why your Wiki Uploader iOS application v. 1.2.3 does not add the location. Maybe you could consider using an other uplaod method, like Upload Wizard. HenkvD (talk) 12:02, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

Such a bot would still be useful. The Upload Wizzard adds coordinates based on EXIF but Wikishootme doesn't. Pere prlpz (talk) 12:42, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

I guess it should be two steps:

1. Identify images that have coordinates in EXIF and tag these with {{GPS EXIF}}
2. Extract GPS from EXIF, but it in structured data and replace {{GPS EXIF}} with {{Location}}

For finding images we'll probably need different strategies like monitoring recent changes and scanning a database dump.

Mediawiki already extracts EXIF and exposes that in the API so should be possible to do this without having to download all images. Multichill (talk) 17:34, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

Works the Upload Wizard under Iphone SE2022 ? V1.2.3 works so nice as it remembers which photos are already uploaded. And i just dont get it becasue on WikiMap - Media with GPS EXIF the photos are nice on the map. Is it possible to extrat the GPS data from this map ? The main problem is i get the data in Mintues and seconds in stead of decimals JakobHosp (talk) 19:43, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

I see that in the API the GPS coordinates are decimal. That is excellent as LOCATION needs that. Now it is may be less work than i thought, but autmatically will be less error prone and less work.

{ "name": "GPSLatitude", "value": 43.50926944444444 }, { "name": "GPSLongitude", "value": 16.43755277777778 }, JakobHosp (talk) 19:51, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

@JakobHosp: made a quick proof of concept to tag files. That seems to work.

Next step is to extract the coordinates. I recall that being a bit more tricky because we also might need to add the heading. Multichill (talk) 21:51, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for the work. Would be very nice if it would work again. JakobHosp (talk) 08:16, 9 July 2025 (UTC)

 Agree, I also hope that the bot that reads the coordinates from the EXIF files can work again. GioviPen ^{GP msg} 17:21, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

It is not possible to use parts of the DSchwenBot to get it to work again ? I will try to use the upload wizard as that seems the advice. My iphone SE dropped in to the toilet and it is definitely NOT waterproof as the specifications say. JakobHosp (talk) 07:26, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

@JakobHosp: probably, but someone else was already working on it, see User_talk:Rkieferbaum#Category:Media_with_GPS_EXIF. For now I just focus on finding the files so the other bot can do the actual extraction.

Sorry to hear about your phone. I hope you were able to recover at least your data. Multichill (talk) 09:56, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

0,0 coords

if your bot can tell that the coords are very close to 0,0 like File:(20240727) Nederland 03.jpg it should add {{GPS EXIF ambiguous}} instead. RoyZuo (talk) 17:33, 17 July 2025 (UTC)

Would be even better if you don't add invalid coordinates in the EXIF. First step is to tag with {{GPS EXIF}}. Some bot will later replace it with {{GPS EXIF ambiguous}}. Multichill (talk) 08:19, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

it comes with cameras, when they sometimes malfunction, not what i or most lay users can control or pay attention to. duh? RoyZuo (talk) 18:42, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

It's also common with files from GLAM sources (example I just noted). It would be best if files with 0,0 coordinates could be tagged with {{GPS EXIF ambiguous}} with one bot run rather than multiple. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 00:45, 3 August 2025 (UTC)

GPS EXIF should not be added when location withheld

{{GPS EXIF}} should probably not be added if an image is in Category:Location withheld. Sam Wilson 06:04, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

Probably? Currently an empty set. Your remark seems to be missing some context. Multichill (talk) 08:47, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

@Multichill: Sorry, I was sort of trying to avoid linking directly to them, but it doesn't really matter. :) These two (incorrectly; I'll fix that) don't use the template: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?search=File%3A+incategory%3ALocation_withheld+hastemplate%3AGPS_EXIF&title=Special%3AMediaSearch&type=image (although they should, and their coords should also be removed from the Exif I guess). Sam Wilson 10:28, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

@Samwilson: ah, some files not using the template. Switched these and some other files to use {{Location withheld}} and added {{Image template notice}} to the category. That should keep the bots away. Multichill (talk) 20:05, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

@Multichill: Looks good, thanks! Sam Wilson 00:14, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

BotMultichillT

Hello! Could i convince you to get your bot to add cosplay of (P13593) and Facebook image ID (P13654) to files? I have an idea as to how the bot could detect the correct items and values to use Trade (talk) 00:06, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

Weirdly read coordinates

Hello,

what happened here: Special:Diff/1065362490/1065387312? As far as I can tell, the EXIF in File:Nebelung-Katze in Kratzbaumhöhle.jpg show other data than those that your bot wrote. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 07:08, 3 August 2025 (UTC)

@Grand-Duc: you should ask the uploader why the EXIF is different than the wikitext. The bot doesn't use the exif at all, it uses the wikitext and that contains {{Location|-80|115.773353|heading:306.95989974937345}}. Multichill (talk) 08:27, 3 August 2025 (UTC)

Ah, I thought that your bot read the location data from the EXIF. I know that there's this kind of tool around, as I happened to upload photos with locations in EXIF where a bot (don't recall its name, though) came and put them into the description. I removed the erroneous data in {{Location}} - they pointed to the Antarctic, that's obviously senseless. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 08:52, 3 August 2025 (UTC)

@Grand-Duc: no, only wikitext. The bot that was extracting it from EXIF broke down. I've started tagging files with {{GPS EXIF}} (filling up Category:Media with GPS EXIF) to get the missing coordinates added. See also several previous topics. Multichill (talk) 09:03, 3 August 2025 (UTC)

Ah, indeed. Thanks for the explanation! :-) Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 09:05, 3 August 2025 (UTC)

hello, writing here to avoid another topic since is related. can I ask you why your bot (that was extracting coordinates from EXIF) broke down? is there a way to implement it again? can I do it somehow (ofc not manually as I did for some of my files)? now in that category there are more than 300k files and it's still increasing... GioviPen ^{GP msg} 17:16, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

@GiovanniPen: My bot didn't break down. User:DschwenBot broke down, see User_talk:Dschwen#'GPS_EXIF'-tagged_images_haven't_been_processed_for_>24_hrs.

We had three years of backlog and my bot finished tagging those with {{GPS EXIF}} so I don't think it will increase a lot. The last ones are in Category:GPS EXIF candidates (review needed).

I just focused on first getting these files tagged, next step is to extract coordinates, see also User_talk:Rkieferbaum#Category:Media_with_GPS_EXIF. Multichill (talk) 21:06, 8 August 2025 (UTC)

oh ok ty. was that one the only one doing the location job (besides Rkieferbaum's one)? GioviPen ^{GP msg} 17:04, 10 August 2025 (UTC)

GeographBot re-creating deleted files

Hi Multichill, first of all thank you for creating and/or maintaining GeographBot, it's too bad the Geograph project seems a little stale but it's great that Commons is able to back up a lot of that important content. But anyway, I recently DR'd a few Geograph images due to UK FOP issues at Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Graffiti on walls in London, but see that today the bot re-created a few of them (e.g. File:Graffiti - geograph.org.uk - 2825750.jpg). Is the bot able to check if a file's deleted and if so, not re-create it? Thanks, -Consigned (talk) 09:44, 15 September 2025 (UTC)

@Consigned: I have Commons:Geograph Britain and Ireland/Deleted files to prevent the bot from uploading files that have been deleted before. The bot loads the list and puts the id's on a skip list. The files you mention were recently deleted so not on the list yet, now updated. So a bit of a mid-air collision. I deleted the files. Multichill (talk) 19:42, 15 September 2025 (UTC)

Great, thank you. -Consigned (talk) 22:49, 15 September 2025 (UTC)

@Pi.1415926535: aren't we a bit bureaucratic here? I can do that too, bot was approved under this policy. So no, I'm not stopping it.

If there is something in need of fixing, please tell me. Otherwise, move on. Multichill (talk) 22:37, 29 September 2025 (UTC)

I had a look to be sure, the bot is just emptying out the backlog in Category:Taken on missing SDC inception. It had over 400.000 entries so it might take some time to clear. Multichill (talk) 22:53, 29 September 2025 (UTC)

You did not give the community any chance to weigh in about these tasks for two bots (including BotMultichillT) that are making millions of edits. It is not being bureaucratic to insist on that simple step, which has been listed on that page since 2009, long before you started any SDC tasks with the bots. Telling me to "move on" for asking you to follow a community norm is not helpful. I have blocked BotMultichill and BotMultichillT per Commons:Bots#Blocking of bots and opened a discussion here. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 00:05, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

You blocked both bots to make your point? This is harassment. Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard#BotMultichill,_BotMultichillT_and_Pi.1415926535. Multichill (talk) 07:42, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

Terraced houses on King's Square - geograph.org.uk - 8104923.jpg

Goedemorgen, Deze foto is door geographbot geupload zonder SDC (en dus zonder beschrijving, bron, licentie e.d.). Ik heb wat geprobeerd toe te voegen met de hand, zeker niet volledig, dus misschien moet je er nog eens naar kijken. Groet, Lymantria (talk) 05:43, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

@Lymantria: normaal zou een robot het oplossen, maar die is op dit moment stuk(gemaakt), zie Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard#BotMultichill,_BotMultichillT_and_Pi.1415926535. Multichill (talk) 18:42, 11 October 2025 (UTC)

Maps from Geographicus

Hi, I asked you a few months back to fix the license of files uploaded by your bot, but there are still not OK. It is not acceptable that an experienced user uploads so many files without a proper license. Please fix them. Thanks, Yann (talk) 09:42, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

Some may even not be in the public domain. Yann (talk) 09:51, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

Advies template update

Hi Multichill. Hoe kunnen we te werk gaan voor een update van het template Artwork? Er leven wat ideeën bij mij over updates zoals noodzakelijke tokens voor grafiek zoals: serie nummer binnen de oplage. (zoals 15/299), eventueel: oplage aantal, zeker wel: serietitel 2, serietitel 2 (originele taal) ook: /toelichting, ook: /Opschriften - Merken (om ze niet 'inscripties' te noemen) /opmerkingen. eventueel /Correcties voor opmerkingen over eventueel gecorrigeerde correcties verwisselingen en aanvullingen door wiki-editors. Misschien ook '/tekst in de originele taal' (voor de authentieke data set, mits correct en zo mogelijk gebaseerd op de nieuwste versie van de bron). Zelf gebruik ik het template niet graag voor grafiek, vooral door de vele genoemde problemen ermee. Ik zie het best vaak misgaan waar men als het ware twee liter info in een eenliter fles wil gieten; 'meaning gets lost in translation'. Heb je tijd voor hulp bij oplossen van dit?

Het sjabloon is beschermd en ik heb onvoldoende ervaring om het aan te passen. Van mij mag het sjabloon eventueel ook flexibeler en meer versatile voor boeken enzo. Bijvoorbeeld volgorde flexibeler of naast 'maakt deel uit van' ook tokens voor uitgever en pagina nummers. Zeker gewenst ook meer tokens voor het onderwerp: Wanneer Waar Wat Wie. Ook foto's uit albums passen misschien nog niet goed in dit template dat kennelijk aanvankelijk gemaakt werd voor unica zoals schilderijen. Hoe lang zou dit traject gaan duren? Het mag natuurlijk niet de al geplaatste templates gaan beschadigen. Wat denk je ervan? Dit gaat onder anderen over de vormgeving van de 'Description' in circa 200K files in het Rijksmuseum Prentenkabinet. Uploads Nostalgic - Zoek "RP-P" , RP-T" en "RP-F" en check de beschrijvings elementen. zoals ook nog Opgedragen aan Opgeragen door, etc. Het sjabloon is hier en daar gewoonweg te klein om al deze info correct te kunnen verplaatsen. Vooral als er ook nog eens een Omschrijving en een Toelichting: bij is. Zelf wil ik in de huidige staat van dit sjabloon het lieft de RMA beschijvingen binnen de { {'nl| } } tags gewoon compleet naar veld Description verplaatsen en dan de vier noodzakelijke velden maker, title, auteur en bron gebruiken. Dat levert wat mij betreft de meest correcte resultaten op. Sommige ontbrekende spaties daargelaten. Ook is dit stukje 'platte' (wiki-) brontekst makkelijk geheel of gedeeltelijk te kopiëren en te vertalen. Terwijl bij versnippering over kolommen en bij onzorgvuldig werken bepaalde langere zoeksequenties bv "Datering: 1871 Fysieke kenmerken: ets" soms opeens onmogelijk of niet in dezelfde query meer te vinden zijn.

Ik pleit danook eigenlijk voor een officiële richtlijn of afspraak of aanbeveling om de oorspronkelijke authentieke RMA noteringswijzen niet te beschadigen maar in tegendeel te optimaliseren voor massale aanpassingen door bots. Deze zijn zeer goed te doorzoeken om bijvoorbeeld bepaalde thema's te vinden. Een goed script zou dan ook in korte tijd vertalingen kunnen invoegen, overbodige formattering kunnen verwijderen of vervangen of optiek een tikje comprimeren (niet echt nodig voor een enkele taal: nl) etc. De standaard en de artwotk beschrijvingen zijn wel te combineren bijna naadloos is mijn ervaring, toch spelen deze problenen. Al om te beginnen : separate velden voor /maker1 /maker2 en /naar1 /naar/2 en /opdrachtgever en /verlener van permissie /herdrukken etc. Overigens: Ik snap niet hoe ik de genoemde optionele velden 1 2 en 3 moet plaatsen. Opmerking: de beschijvingspagina klopt niet, zo lijkt het: boven in het voorbeeld zijn meer tokens genoemd dan daar onder te vinden en te kopiëren zijn. Bij wie kan ik dit verzoek indienen (op de OP?) en zou je het ondersteunen? Begrijp je wat en hoe ik het bedoel? Bedankt en Groet

update 20 nov: Hi @Multichill : of is er al een goed template voor prints en printseries? Ik kwam al wel een speciale voor boekpublicaties tegen. Peli (talk) 15:03, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
