While I understand that wikibase would be 'ideal' (allowing reads *and* writes), I do not know if the WikiData people have the personell bandwidth to do that. The separate extension outlined in this RFC would be a bit hackish, but still faaar more efficient than the current solution of having to retrieve the HTML and parse it again (or worse, parse the Wikitext itself). Would also be incredibly more efficient to get the data for multiple images, since you could feed a generator into this.
+1 for implementing this now :) -- Yuvi Panda T http://yuvi.in/blog _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
