Hoi, Carly thank you for your reply. The impression that I get is that the relevance of "language-agnostic" is considered secondary. However over fifty percent of the Wikimedia traffic is not English. Improving search for categories and all these other wonderful English constructs that make up Commons serves less than fifty percent of our traffic. What I miss in everything that I read is when Special:MediaSearch is considered "good enough" to truly expose it to the bigger fifty percent or all the other languages. The challenge is not technical, it is engagement. How do we get all the missing labels in Wikidata without the engagement of our public.. Just try finding images in our smallest languages. Google is not your friend, what you find is a tiny subset of what you get offered in English. Now consider ONE teacher that adds the label for "turkey" in Wikidata and links the Qid to ten pictures of a turkey... As a result I will find ten more "kalkoen" in my language. Now consider TEN teachers all teaching the same curriculum all adding labels for 5 labels in their languages and adding 50 Qid to pictures in a week for their students.. It enables Commons search in any language, just add "your" label for that item. Remember that wiki means quick. What we have in Special:MediaSearch is good enough. It will grow from where we are and it will do really well once it expands its public. By opening up the biggest freely licensed resource in any language we will engage a public that uses our media, will expand our media and will open up 1 community in the languages that expands its label coverage in Wikidata. I can even imagine that the expanded availability of material will stimulate writing in Wikipedia and adding pictures of local dignitaries.. We do not have pictures for all the country level ministers of Africa for the twenty first let alone the twentieth century.. We have something to give in Commons but we have more to gain when we open up. Thanks, GerardM On Tue, 2 Feb 2021 at 17:26, Carly Bogen <cbogen(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:
