360 images are not displayed correctly

[wilfredor]

Recently I had a conversation with others WLM participating users and commons users about the images in 360 degrees. It's important that the WLM jury can access to evaluate 360 images using montage.

Example:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Panorama_360_of_Basilique_Saint-Patrick,_Montreal,_Quebec,_Canada.jpg

How the image should be displayed
https://tools.wmflabs.org/panoviewer/#Panorama_360_of_Basilique_Saint-Patrick,_Montreal,_Quebec,_Canada.jpg

Thanks

Nice example.

Panoviewer uses pannellum. We could try including that in the juror interface, or at the very least link to panoviewer. We would need some way to detect if a file is a 360 image -- I'm not sure about the best method to do that.

I think one of the methods could be, to verify the image description page and check if it has the template {{Pano360}} or the category [[Category: 360 ° panoramas]]

There are two good conditions to start, however, in the future more conditions could be added

[wilfredor]

Another idea is just let a link to see the image 360, however, without any condition. I prefer the category condition because all 360 images should have this category

A search online suggests that detecting panoramas is not straight forward from the metadata. Using pannellum with recognition through category (or structured data anyone?) sounds like a great approach.
