Kirby,
The front end and back ending has gone blissfully over my head. I'm
not a computer expert, but I find wikis very user friendly.
But I can tell you that the red swish really is a missing picture. We
moved from a web site where we had permission to use images from a few
sources, but not permission to use them on a wiki. So we used the
photographs that we took in our lab and found a few others in Wiki
Media Commons. Some are still missing, but we have the preserved
insects and a camera......
You are correct, it is rather like a baby book that you personalize.
Our starting point is to provide photos pf the common insects where we
work (Vermont and Puerto Rico USA). Many of the insect families are
broadly distributed, so the templates can be used for many locations
to reflect the unique combination of bugs for a stream of interest.
Try this in your sandbox:
{{Chironomidae}}
{{Elmidae}}
{{Hydropsychidae}}
It will plop in a brief description and photograph of three of the
most common insects in rivers. Our hope is that schools, nature
centers, and watershed associations interested in this sort of thing
will make their own pages using the simple template system.
Cheers,
Declan
