This page describes what Commons category tracking is and how you can enable it in your Wikipedia.
Usage
Most Wikipedia's use Template:Commons category (Q48029) (and variants) to link articles and categories to Wikimedia Commons. This data should be imported to Wikidata and differences should be fixed. To do this the template needs to be altered to enable several tracking categories:
- Category:Uses of Wikidata Infobox missing Commons Category statement (Q11925744) - The link should be imported
- Category:Commons category with local link different than on Wikidata (Q11925740) - Figure out the best link and update either Wikipedia or Wikidata
- Category:Commons category with page title different than on Wikidata (Q11925742) - Figure out the best link and update either Wikipedia or Wikidata
- Category:Commons category with local link same as on Wikidata (Q11925741) - We're done. We want to end up here.
- Category:Commons category with page title same as on Wikidata (Q11925743) - We're done. We want to end up here.
Enable it
- Import en:Module:StringReplace to your local Wikipedia and link it with Module:StringReplace (Q13382852)
- Copy the code added in this diff to your local Template:Commons category (Q48029) and translate the category names (and Module:StringReplace (Q13382852) if you gave it a different name)
- Create the (translated) categories and link them to the relevant Wikidata items
- Wait for it to populate
- Starting fixing!
