Commons talk:Commons API
Does this actually belong in MediaWiki namespace? It seems like a very incorrect location. Bastique demandez 11:43, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Existing schemes and technologies
editPlease note Commons:tag categories. The scheme is still roughly used, though it fell a bit into disrepair lately. However, I think it would be a good basis for a machine readable license systems.
As to publishing licensing metadata, it would be nice to use a standard format, such as CreativCommons RDF. There is an extension which would make that easy: mw:Extension:RDF. I suggest to review that and finally get it live on wikimedia sites. -- Duesentrieb ⇌ 08:17, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

- It doesn't look like it. However it's possible to upload to Commons using the MediaWiki API [1] --ghouston (talk) 10:04, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
