Media with difficult-to-copy-paste filenames

[edit]

Strings in right-to-left languages are notoriously difficult to copy/paste, on desktop and even more on mobile. Note that switching to Wikidata-like identifiers instead of filenames would solve the problem.

This file is using the {{Musical work}} template but most information that could be structured data is just in the free text description field. The original source provides each field as semantic properties.

Maps

[edit]

Maps use the template Map. It displays similar properties as the Artwork template, with added information from other templates. Additionally, the bounding box or the centroid of the map can be described with coordinates. The Map template displays a link to Wikimaps Warper, where it is possible to georectify the map and align it with a base map. If the map has been rectified with the Warper, the Map template knows it. The properties used in the Map template have been listed and mapped to Wikidata properties in the Wikidata WikiProject Maps: Historical map properties page.

Data

[edit]

(random picks; there may be better examples)

Going beyond the metadata of such files (including the real-world meaning of different columns), would a SERVICE be possible to access the actual contents of one of these files from a query?

Interesting curation of media files
