GLAMorousToHTML - a tool to list Wikipedia articles that include images from a given Commons category
This month a new release of the GLAMorousToHTML tool was published.
This tool can be used to create a HTML page (and a corresponding Excel file) listing all Wikipedia articles (in all languages) in which (one or more) images from a given category on Wikimedia Commons are used. It shows the number of unique Wikipedia articles in which media files from a given Commons category are used, as well as a manifest overview of those articles, grouped per Wikipedia language version. Check the screenshot to see the details.
It does so by converting the XML output of the GLAMorous tool into an HTML page and an Excel file.
Developed by the KB, national library of the Netherlands, it has been used to create reports for other GLAM institutions in Europe and the USA as well. Some examples:
- Netherlands
- Images from Koninklijke Bibliotheek (KB) are used in 5,141 articles in 145 languages
- Images from Nationaal Archief are used in 95,069 Wikipedia articles in 265 languages
- Images from Rijksmuseum Amsterdam are used in 4,333 articles in 119 languages
