Pomoc:WikiFlix
This is a help page for WikiFlix. It is inspired by a project on Commons. See also its companion app WikiVibes for audio. Please file bug reports and feature requests here.
Background
Wikidata has over 33 thousand items for movies that have fallen into the public domain. A fraction of these items (~1300 at the time of writing) have a video file, either at Wikimedia Commons, the Internet Archive, or YouTube.
WikiFlix is a bespoke interface to browse, search, and view these movies, and information about them, including cast members etc. It is modeled in the general theme of popular video streaming services, without trying to copy any specific one.
Baza danych WikiFlix jest aktualizowana co godzinę z Wikidanych.
Because WikiFlix is putting an emphasis on entertainment, some movies are not suitable to be "advertised" eg on the main page. There is a community-maintained blacklist for such movies.
The WikiFlix tool is hosted on Toolforge in the US. Toolforge is operated by the Wikimedia Foundation. All WikiFlix content is generated from Wikidata and maintained by that community. Movies are hosted on Wikimedia Commons, the Internet Archive, or YouTube. The current maintainer for the technological aspects of WikiFlix is Magnus Manske (talk).

Jak możesz pomóc
- Check the list of public domain movies without video, and add Commons File, Internet Archive, or YouTube IDs to movie files. They will be picked up automatically and added to WikiFlix (can take up to 1h)
- Add object has role (P3831) qualifiers (trailer (Q622550) or full video available on Wikimedia Commons (Q89347362)) to P10s without object role qualifier
- Find more items about movies that are in the public domain, and set copyright status (P6216) to public domain (Q19652) (with the respective qualifiers, such as applies to jurisdiction (P1001))
- Add metadata such as genre (P136), cast member (P161) etc. to the items. That information will improve WikiFlix navigation.
