Alt text on Commons

Hi there! To follow up on our brief discussion in the context of Wikidata Day NYC 2024 about alt text on Commons, I did a little experiment:
I added alt text to File:WIkidat-cake-2024.jpg (under “structured data”, as a statement with alt text (P11265)) to see whether it would automatically be used in pages that display the image in question. But neither when displaying the image with the [[File:…]] syntax nor in a gallery such as the one on the Wikidata Day page is the alt text getting used.
Rather, it seems, the alt text really has to be retyped every time the image is displayed anywhere on-wiki. And that doesn’t even cover the case yet of where one might have provided, say, on Wikidata, alt text for the cake itself (thinking of it as a ‘sculpture’, for example) rather than alt text for the image on Commons.
If you have any thoughts about how the alt-text state of affairs could (or should) be ameliorated through local or small-group efforts, feel free to get in touch with me or the NYC Chapter. ―BlaueBlüte (talk) 20:18, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @BlaueBlüte thank you for following up on this and my apologies for the delay in responding.

Hello @Pharos and @Bluerasberry do you think this would be a good test case to figure out the chain that will get alt-text to the Commons from Wikimedia to Wikipedia. If not let's try to pick another image so that we can work through the process. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you! Jenjonze (talk) 14:32, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
