I walked through this idea with Matthew and we came up with a refinement: On the user page, would it make sense to show the file as a link to its file page and also show a link to the Upload Wizard with all of the parameters for that monument?
If so, I have a question: What exactly is the format of the parameters in the link? On the page: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UploadWizard#URL_arguments it lists these parameters: * campaign: Specifies which [[/Campaigns|upload campaign]] to use. * skiptutorial: Sets if the licensing tutorial should be skipped or not. The value should be "1" or "true" to skip. * id: Sets the initial value for the id field. * description: Sets the initial value for the description field. * lat: Sets the initial value for the latitude field. * lon: Sets the initial value for the longitude field. * alt: Sets the initial value for the altitude field. * categories: Sets the initial value for the categories field, multiple categories seperated by |. But is all of this required, and where are the templates? Could someone send a sample URL with the necessary parameters present? Thanks.
