Looks good to me. Some files have duplicate {{Taken with}} tags like File:Zukovskiy industrial railway 2022-10 1664723936.JPG for example. Would it be possible to remove the dupes on the fly when dealing with the files? --Achim55 (talk) 18:49, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There was some manual inserted templates. Taken on and Taken with are completly diffirent templates, one for date, second for camera. I can not now to automatically edit Taken with template, it need complicated investigation of EXIF camera tags, witch allways differs from real camera names.

What is the reason to do such edits, in which way does it improve the file page? Is there any community discussion about doing this at large scale? --Krd 06:58, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was asked by user @MasterRus21thCentury, may you comment? https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Svetlov_Artem#c-MasterRus21thCentury-20231026174700-Category:Russia_photographs_taken_on_2008-05-01
Such categories useful for discovery photos in series: if someone photographed a train, bus or village house, there is possibility to see other photographs from next village or train line at same day from same user. Svetlov Artem (talk) 16:23, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I still don't see how this has valid use cases. Please start a community discussion and please report the result. Krd 07:12, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
