Wikimedia

Small browser-based tools for finding and improving photos on Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. Each tool makes read-only calls to the public Wikimedia APIs from your browser. (Infobox History can optionally save results to this project's GitHub repo — that needs a GitHub token you provide, kept only for the browser session.)

Infobox Finder →

Given a Commons category, find recently-uploaded photos that aren't used anywhere yet and depict a person, and compare each against that person's current Wikipedia infobox photo — so you can spot better replacements.

Photo Gaps →

Given a Wikipedia category, list the living people whose articles have a missing, low-resolution or dated infobox photo — and whether a candidate already exists on Wikidata or Commons.

Infobox History →

Given a photo or an article, show the current infobox photo of the depicted person plus the two it replaced, side by side — with each photo's crop variants. Or give a category to list everyone whose infobox photo has changed.
