Good catch.
Assuming this covers the request and setting WORKSFORME. Please comment/reopen
and elaborate what is missing if CommonsMetadata does not cover this request.

With the deployment of the CommonsMetadata extension
, license and authors
are available through the API (though they are not “accessible in some way in
the database”). This could be closed as fixed then?

We've been discussing this here in Amsterdam with Krinkle, Roan and me, have
made some changes to the page mentioned in comment #3 and are implementing this
in the license-work branch.

I'll assign this to myself, but feel free to work on it.

I've been brainstorming a little last weekend for the details of a few things.

Number 3 sounds good to me aswell. Just like the pagename/filename isn't inside
the wikitext. Things like author and license information (and categories too
actually, but that's a different story) make sense to be stored seperately.

Advantage of keeping it outside of wikitext is also that history of the
page-text will stay cleaner and changing or renaming a license is a lot easier
since they'd be stored as id's instead of template links.
I'd guess things like licenses would then be stored in the License:-namespace
or in [MediaWiki:License--descr] and [MediaWiki:License--content],
which may or may not contain a template.

This is also related to the UsabilityInitiative I think. One of their ideas
(not sure if it's choosen as "the plan") was to seperate this making it (the
license) into a dropdown when editing (just like when uploading it) - and that
licences not in the dropdown, can't be used. (ie. need to be added to it -
which makes sense)

I have been thinking about this, and there are multiple options to indicate the
author and license:

1) Introduce a new parser tag that will indicate the author, license etc. E.g.
{{#author:Bryan}}
2) Create magic to allow extracting certain template parameters and storing
them into a database. I'm thinking of course of the parameters of
{{Information}}. I believe we discussed this last year in Paris.
3) Add a special page/dedicated interface for storing and changing the author
and license information outside of the page text and get them with a specific
parser function into the text.
4) Install SMW


An argument for 1) and 2) is that they easily fit into our current system. We
just need to change the {{Information}} template in 1) to get the data
propagated to the database. As for 2) there would be no action required at all
(except rerendering all pages).

A point that was previously raised was that license and author data are
actually not associated with page text, but with the image itself. Therefore 3)
would make sense, as we are linking the meta data to the image and not to the
page text. The downside is that we need to migrate from the old to the new
system.

I don't know how and if SMW can solve this problem, but I have heart that it
can. I don't think though that we will get SMW in the near to middle term
future, so 4) can be removed.


An important requirement to think about when implementing this feature is that
images can have multiple authors and licenses and that they need to be saved
all.
Another point to think about is whether we also want to store source and date.
And other properties. We just need to watch out that we are not rewriting SMW
for this purpose though.
