Bug ID: 56614
Summary: Add requested image list to UploadWizard
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: UploadWizard
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
There are various lists of requested pictures [1][2], but these are hidden away
from the average user and so they are of limited use. Many of the requests
involve a specific location, and could be surfaced based on that: when a user
finishes an upload process, UploadWizard could show a call to action with image
requests in the close proximity of either the uploader himself, or the uploaded
image.
This would require transforming the image requests into some sort of
machine-readable format; this would be a lot of work, but in some specific
cases it is already done, for example Wiki Loves Monuments contests have their
own database and API and could easily produce lists of locations with few or no
pictures.
