Feature request: simple image upload from one or multiple Flickr URL(s)

Many Wikimedians upload (appropriately licensed) images from Flickr to Wikimedia Commons.

Upload from Flickr is supported by the (default) Wikimedia Commons UploadWizard (up to 500 files at once): https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard

Which is pretty barebones (it literally takes the photo description as on Flickr and then still needs manual input for license and other metadata).

Another frequently used tool is Flickr2Commons by Magnus Manske: https://flickr2commons.toolforge.org/#/

It offers a bit more flexibility and intelligence, but still uploads the descriptions in a quite barebones way.

Advantages of Flickr integration in OpenRefine would include:

• Ability to parse and reconcile elements from the Flickr file descriptions
• Addition of (more) refined and diverse structured data, file names, and Wikitext to the files upon upload

I am posting this after receiving a request for test uploading from the very awesome Biodiversity Heritage Library, which stores many files on Flickr and for whom such a transfer functionality (including the more advanced features that OpenRefine could offer) would be very helpful. Here's one example of an album in their vast Flickr repository. I can imagine more GLAMs are in this situation.

We can't do this before the October 2022 Wikimedia grant deadline, but it's something to keep an eye on for future development. It would be good to involve the Wikimedia Commons / OpenRefine user community to help us prioritize this feature request.

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Begin by examining the extension's existing Wikimedia Commons upload and metadata-integration paths, then clarify how Flickr URLs, descriptions, licensing, structured data, filenames, and Wikitext should be handled. Done would mean an agreed design and working support for one or multiple Flickr URLs.
