Good to hear you find the tool useful as well!
Fae pointed me to another useful tool for post-upload refinement of categories:

Hello, you may remember the WMIT WIR at BEIC; if not, see links in English. :)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/BEIC
Last week, the 10 months collaboration came to an end; I published a lenghty report/case
study in Italian. TL;DR: free software developed, 10 BEIC staff contributing, a thousand
images uploaded, 6500 usages, 400 articles created, 4 millions accesses/month.
https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progetto:GLAM/BEIC/2015-07
The partnership between WMIT and BEIC will actually continue, but I'll have a
non-BEIC job at WMIT and a non-wiki job at BEIC. So I'll do little/no editing for
BEIC; probably some planning, training, uploading and maybe coding. Maybe WMIT will keep
providing BEIC a wiki editor and invoice for it, maybe not.
I have some requests from you! I hope you can help.
1) Comments on the past months, e.g. based on the monthly updates or brutal numbers.
2) Suggestions on what is worth translating of the report. There are passages trying to
push institutions to free software, open data, public domain, community consultation,
involvement of staff. Someone liked my metaphor "be like mushroom, not
sequoias". But maybe this is all covered better elsewhere already?
3) Recommendations on how to update
https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedian_in_Residence . Should I still be listed
there, or call the WIR done? Where to record the WMIT-BEIC partnership?
4) Lessons from other partnerships with institutions having an in-house wikimedian not
doing wiki work. (Other than Sannita/Luca at ICCU...) Perhaps Scotland, Netherlands and
Switzerland have more to say as AFAICT they are all moving towards a permanent team
serving multiple institutions à la traveling WIR, like WMIT.

P.s.: Sorry for cross-posting but I think it's better than many overlapping messages;
if possible reply on each list to the parts relevant for that list and cc only me, not all
the other lists.

I concur. Just corrected a spelling error in 850 files!
Welbedankt Olaf!

Hi everybody,
I thought this was worth sharing:
Iâve just finished uploading 3 batches (3100+ images (*)) using the
GW-toolset. I was looking at ways to do some automatic post-upload
cleaning of metadata in all the 3100+ files (eg. getting rid of
unwanted semicolons that the GW-tool adds in the mapping process).
I was about to file a bot request, but came across the
VisualFileChange
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:VisualFileChange.js> tool,
very helpful for mass Find-Replace operations. It is a tool that can
be used for mass-changes of one author's uploaded files, or files in
a category. It's a web-tool and can be launched directly
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Bots/Work_re
qu ests&withJS=MediaWiki:VisualFileChange.js>
.
Might be something to add to the GW-toolset end user manual
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:GWToolset ?

Hi everyone.
I have just started uploading my first large batch of images to Commons using the toolset
(abt 5000 low res images). The first 10 uploaded fine but for the last 30 minutes no more
have uploaded. Is this a sign that there is a problem? or is it normal for there to be
gaps in the upload?
Thanks
Jason
