There is an app called iNat2Commons, which is especially useful if you are doing bulk uploads.
Here is a link to the script to add to your Wikimedia account common config file.

The application is demonstrated in this video at 40:23.

Thanks. That works great! It looks like there is a limit to the number of images that show up when I click on the āiNaturalist importā button. It only displays about 100 thumbnails, when Iām certain there are more images with appropriate licensing available on iNat. Is there a way to see a paginated list of thumbnails so that all photos are available for import?
Also I feel like I read this somewhere, but is there also a way to search for taxa that still need photos or only have one or two representatives?
There are several pages that use my images, and it always feel nice when someone considers my images good enough to represent the species.
I do wish it was easier to find the pages with my images. When I image search I see a bunch of my images, but many of them when I look at them arent on any pages. It would be nice to see pages with my pics, without having to check the pics one by one. And seeing āThere are no pages that use this file.ā
I appreciate those who work on the wikis, and appreciate it when my images are selected for that purpose.
I guess someone could make a thread now āWhats your fave wiki page that uses one of your imagesā
This is one of my go tos.
Other than systematically checking all the Wikipedia species pages by using the links in the information box on the top right of each taxon article to browse through the taxonomic tree, you could check out the project pages for major taxon groups on Wikipedia, eg.
Note these lists may suggest an article that already has an image, or one for which a suitable image already exists in Wikimedia Commons and just needs to be added to the article.
Iām particularly proud that my photo of a Schizomida is used as the generic image in some of the higher taxa overviews like here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uropygi
Havent found a Uropygi yet, its very high on my arachnid list to do.
I was lucky enough to see a couple in Brunei. Theyāre impressive looking beasts. None here in Australia unfortunately. Top of my arachnid list is Amblypygi which at least does have a few representatives here.
Amblypygi I have found pretty easy to find in the countries I have been to in South America so far (Colombia, Peru, Ecuador). Definitly none in NZ where I am from (At least that anyone is aware of).
For those looking for an easy way to upload their observations to Commons once youāve licensed them appropriately, thereās a Chrome plugin (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/inaturalist-to-wikimedia/bmcedhfhglnnfcjgbkgaaabcndkcnjnp?pli=1) and a Firefox add-on (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/inat2wiki-button/) that add a button to the observation view that allows you to upload your observation to Commons.
Thanks for the links. Does this extension fill out structured data information as well? Iām using iNaturalist2Commons (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Kaldari/iNaturalist2Commons) in sort of a makeshift way, but my rate of contribution is limited by the requirement to manually add depicts and some other structured data fields for each image after importing.
