About Commons
Commons is an Android app for contributing photographs to Wikimedia Commons, a collection of freely licensed media used by Wikipedia and related projects. Users can upload photos directly from a phone and add categories to help others find them. Suggested categories can be based on the image’s location data and title. The app also helps users find nearby places that lack images, which can guide photography toward articles or topics that need visual material. A gallery collects the user’s previous contributions, providing a way to review what has been uploaded. Commons is intended for contributors who want to add photographs to a shared free-media collection from a mobile device. The location-based category suggestions and nearby missing-image view connect photo contributions with places and articles, while categorization supports reuse and discovery. The app’s main workflow is uploading, describing, and reviewing contributions. The supplied description does not specify image-editing functions or offline upload queues, so those capabilities should not be assumed. Uploaded photos become part of a public, freely licensed media repository and can be reused under the applicable licensing terms.
