About this data

This page measures the percentage of images with valid EXIF data on Wiki. The numbers are calculated by analysing the image files directly. This is interesting because it shows how image metadata is lost over time, which can be useful for understanding data preservation. The data is updated regularly to reflect changes in the images. The analysis is possible due to direct access to the image files, which is not commonly available.

Why this isn't published anywhere else

While there isn't a dedicated tracker for Wiki Image EXIF Decay, Statizoid's Wiki Infobox Image Decay offers insights into a related aspect of image maintenance within Wikipedia, and Wikimedia's own statistics could potentially be used for custom analysis, but no existing source directly tracks EXIF data loss over time.

Uniqueness score 0.80 — assessed against live web search results when this subject was created.
