Add URL relationship hints? #9

Open jesus2099 opened 7 months ago

Majority of my artists don't show any image.

Any hints of what URL could be added to fetch some photos?

Make hints visible in page, when no pics? 😉

zabe40 commented 7 months ago

Could you clarify this one a bit? Do you mean the hint should point to how to add the link to the MB database, or it should point to specific places where the images can be found, like Wikipedia Commons and Flickr or artists' bandcamp and spotify profile pics? Or should it have both? Or actually thinking about this now, maybe the script could automatically show the artist's profile pic from whatever bandcamp or spotify relationship the artist already has.

It was about [pointing] to specific places where the images can be found, like Wikipedia Commons and Flickr or artists' bandcamp and spotify profile pics.

But I think forget it.

Let's see what other relationships we could get images from.

Little by little.

I thought wikidata would be easy, for example, but no, there is no direct link from wikidata to an image, there.

It seems that wikidata does actually have images (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q42#P18), but I'm guessing that a pretty small percentage of the wikidata pages linked to MB artists also have a commons image. So for now I'll see about getting profile pics from different services.
