Template:painting

Hi! I'd to use {{Painting}} just as {{Drawing}}. Therefore the old {{template:painting}} should be changed into {{template:artwork}} on all Wiki pages. I'd volunteer to do that but how do I find pages with {{template:painting}}? Greetz! Bukk (talk) 11:07, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

There are over 4k pages using {{Painting}}, and you can see them at Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Painting. I am not a big fan of shortcut templates calling {{Technique}} like {{Drawing}}. With some techniques having shortcuts and some not having them, it makes using them less predictable. Direct use of {{technique|drawing}} is preferred to {{Drawing}}, so I would leave {{Painting}} just as it is. --Jarekt (talk) 12:33, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Thx, Jarekt. I understand. Greetz! Bukk (talk) 08:58, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Category:Artworks missing infobox template

We have 14k files using {{PD-Art}} which do not have any infoboxes and could really use {{Artwork}} templates. I can volunteer the services of my bot (User:JarektBot) for help with adding the templates if some can analyze the files and see if there are some cases where many files follow the same description pattern that can be parsed and copied to the Artwork templates. --Jarekt (talk) 14:45, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

LUA and Wikidata

This template should be rebuild as LUA module at Module:Artwork and have the option to fallback to Wikidata, see phab:T89600 (part of Commons:Structured data). Multichill (talk) 14:15, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

wikidata:File:Lucas Cranach the Elder - Two Dead Bohemian Waxwings - Google Art Project.jpg

there is a wikidata icon leading to the main page and I do not see any entry in the artwork template. Are there any mistakes in the last changes?--Oursana (talk) 00:24, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

Yes, previously you could omit the "wikidata" field and the icon would not appear. With the current code, it looks like you have to set it to "no entry" to suppress the icon. I think you're right that this behavior is just an oversight with the most recent changes, I don't think it was intended to make the icon appear. In fact, the most recent changes also appear to have broken the demo functionality. —RP88 (talk) 01:54, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

It is my fault. I will try to fix it in the next few days. --Jarekt (talk) 04:14, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

Source

When used in a category, such as Category:Birmingham Quran manuscript, this template throws an error if no "source" is included. Can this be fixed, please? Andy Mabbett (talk) 14:02, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

Why would you want to use that template for a category? See Template:Artwork#Additional information. --Leyo 16:57, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

Andy, The messages/categories like that can be suppresed by adding empty "strict=" parameter to the template. --Jarekt (talk) 13:45, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

@Jarekt: Thank you for your helpful response. Andy Mabbett (talk) 15:58, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
