Re: [OSM-talk] Proposal - automate rendering examples on OSM wiki
You misunderstand me. Wikimedia Commons is fine for nice photos that can be used in the OSM project. It has been used for that for a long time. But autogenerated images of rendering examples? That need to be updated every time the rendering changes? Thats doesn't make sense to me. Wikis are good for unstructured data, but your use case is structured data along at least two axis (tag rendered and zoom level), probably more if you want to extend it to different styles. I suggest you keep that data in structured form somewhere and only link to it from the wiki, no need for automated uploads, no need for re-uploading if something changes. As I mentioned it is taginfos job to provide metadata around tags, so that might be a good place. But really anything that can host files on the web is better than trying to upload this to the wiki.

It may fit, OSM wiki qualifies as project "that provide knowledge, instruction or information". http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Project_scope/Summary#Must_be_realistically_useful_for_an_educational_purpose 2015-03-25 10:54 GMT+01:00 Jochen Topf : > On Mi, Mär 25, 2015 at 02:06:06 -0700, Minh Nguyen wrote: > > On 2015-03-24 04:09, Mateusz Konieczny wrote: > > >Is there any kind of API enabled for OSM wiki allowing automated uploads > > >of files? > > > > The OSM wiki can transclude images from Wikimedia Commons, which has a > > process for batch uploading images: > > > > https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Guide_to_batch_uploading > > I don't think it is a good idea to upload rendering examples to Wikimedia > Commons... > > Jochen > -- > Jochen Topf joc...@remote.org http://www.jochentopf.com/ > +49-173-7019282 > > ___ > talk mailing list > talk@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk > ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
