ImageAnnotator is a JavaScript extension of the MediaWiki user interface, allowing users to place comments onto images shown on file description pages, similar to the "photo notes" on Flickr. This works on all image files for which the MediaWiki software displays a preview image on the file description page, i.e., PNG, JPG, GIF, and SVG files. Currently, the Annotator is installed on testwiki and Open Media repository.
