Enhancement/Issue: book page crops are not book themselves

Open irodriguez-moreno opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Page crops are not books themselves, but when Croptool makes a description page for a crop, it uses the same {{Book}} template. Most users (myself included) don't ever bother to change it, and so there are thousands and thousands of wrongly tagged files, populating thousands of categories.

Instead, I propose the following:

  1. Change {{tl|Book}} for {{tl|Artwork}} when cropping from books.
  2. Remove the |Wikidata= parameter, as 100% of the time the Wikidata entity refers to the edition of the book, and not the cropped artwork.
  3. Remove Book and PDF/DJVU categories.

@irodriguez-moreno Hm, replacing {{tl|Book}} with {{tl|Artwork}} seems a bit dangerous, but I can configure it to remove {{tl|Book}}. Let me know if you think that's not a good idea!

As for 3, there is a list of category patterns that should not be copied over. I've added "DjVu files" and "PDF files" to it now. Let me know if there are more patterns you want added to the list (but preferably a bit more specific than "Book").
