- What is the minimum & maximum length for caption input? (descriptions, right now, are expected to be between 5 and 10000 characters)
- Is a caption required? (a description, right now, is required)
- If required: are there cases where it may not be (descriptions right now are not required for certain campaigns)
- Metadata descriptions or Flickr descriptions are currently being pulled into the descriptions input - do we want to move any of those to captions?
Answers:
- We've been looking into the max length issue for a while. Because we're supporting different languages, a simple character limit may not be what we'll use. Instead, it may be an indicator based on byte count. Regardless, captions will be short. Like, old Twitter short. I'll let @PDrouin-WMF chime in more
- We're not yet sure if caption will be required, may depend on if we keep filename/title, and some community input. I'm leaning towards saying it's not required for the first release (this June/July), but will be a required field later.
- Currently, no, we won't pull in Flickr or other metadata descriptions into captions. Flickr descriptions especially can include markup and this is supposed to be a markup-free field. *If*, in this first release, we include a multilingual details/description field in addition to the caption, we might consider pulling some stuff into there but again markup becomes an issue.
