Hi everyone,
Naresh Kumar Babu (cc'ed) and I are excited to announce the release of the
"Cat2Data" tool - a user script that makes it easy to add large amounts of
structured data on Wikimedia Commons. The way it works is that you select a
category, then use the tool to add one or more property/value pairs (e.g.,
"depicts: hummingbird") to all of the files in that category, based of
course on what's in the category. For categories with hundreds of files,
this can reduce the time it takes to populate all that data from hours to
one minute or less.
You can find more information about Cat2Data here:

And to try it out, you only have to add the following to your common.js
file on Wikimedia Commons:
importScript("User:TechieNK/Cat2Data.js");

Hello ������
(Sorry for cross-posting!)
We’re thrilled to announce that submissions are now open for both the GLAM
Wiki Conference 2025 Scholarship Applications and the Call for Program
Proposals!
This milestone is the result of dedicated work by both the Scholarship and
Program Committees, as well as the Core Organizing Team — and we couldn’t
be happier to share this news with you today, on International Museums Day
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Museum_Day>.
This year’s conference theme is:
Resilience: Shaping the Future Through Community and Openness
This theme is grounded in three key aims: 1) Building the Future, 2)
Community Resilience, and 3) Digital Resilience.
We believe this is a timely and meaningful theme — one that resonates
deeply across the global open movement and within every part of the
Wikimedia community.
You can find full details, including scholarship criteria and program
tracks, on the Meta-Wiki event page.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM_Wiki_2025
Deadlines:
- Scholarship Application: *7 June*
- Program Call-for-Proposals: *15 June*
Save the date!
The conference will take place 30 October – 1 November 2025, in Lisbon,
Portugal. Stay tuned for updates on registration, opening later in June
2025.
We can’t wait to welcome you to Lisbon — and we look forward to your ideas,
energy, and participation in shaping a resilient future together.
Kind regards,
The GLAM Wiki 2025 Organizing Team
