Hello Magnus,
we (@Ckubosch) tried out MnM and did a test upload: https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/#/catalog/2844 Then we realised that we can’t update the catalog with more entries? Currently, we could upload 30959 entries. But our catalog grows every two weeks, so a one-time fix would only be a stopgap.
So our two main questions are:
- Can you transfer catalog ownership to the shared account used by our institution, User:AdW_Mainz? (Later I can log in to that account and confirm that it’s really ours.) – Would this actually be useful, or do all accounts have the same permissions for every catalog?
- Since there are regular updates to our database, and if there really is no easy possibility on our end to update the catalog (besides the regex-based scraper) – Would you be interested in regularly updating this catalog from a CSV file hosted on our website? We could make a full list and/or a list of the most recently added entries available, formatted as specified for your MnM import tool. Our updates are quite regular, e.g. loading the CSV on the fifth and the twentieth day of the month would be right most of the time.
If it’s less work for you if we started a new catalog with the right owner and the full current list of entries, and you simply delete 2844, let us know.
Sorry to bother you with a maintenance request! And I’m looking forward to hearing what you think of updating from CSVs.
Viele Grüße!
