from Structured Commons.
Show on first line, before title, in user's language or fallback language.

@nicolas-raoul What is that structured commons you are talking about

[nicolas-raoul]

@vanshikaarora see #2096

[vanshikaarora]

Hey @nicolas-raoul as mentioned by here #2297 (comment). Shall I include the steps from to or should i just change the filename and make it multilingual?

[nicolas-raoul]

@vanshikaarora Can you see the "Captions" section at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:R%C3%A9union_publique_de_La_R%C3%A9publique_En_Marche_!_Japon,_avec_le_d%C3%A9put%C3%A9_C%C3%A9dric_Villani_le_jeudi_26_novembre_de_%C3%A0_Akasaka,_Tokyo.jpg ?

The idea is to implement the same section in the app.
Search for this picture in the app, and you will see that captions are not shown.

[vanshikaarora]

Rename the current filename field to "Caption"
Make it multilingual
When uploading, just take the first caption and use it as the filename

@nicolas-raoul So shall I start working upon it this way?

[nicolas-raoul]

No, these instructions are for a different issue (uploading).
The current issue is about the activity when just view a picture within the app.

[vanshikaarora]

So, I can add the field for caption in the UI of that activity.
But from where will I get the caption for the image being viewed?
Shall I add an additional field for caption while uploading the image itself?

[nicolas-raoul]

We don't know either, so you will have to look up Mediawiki documentation. You might have to search for a few hours, good luck!

[vanshikaarora]

OK I'll see the API's currently available

[vanshikaarora]

Hey @nicolas-raoul I have gone through the API's available on the documentation here. For our concern I would this Upload API. OUt of these we can use either if comment or text parameter to send the caption that will be added by user while uploading any image.

Please give me suggestions whether I am working on this correctly or not
