Hello Michael & WLM UK, It is my job to take care of all campaigns for Wiki Loves Monuments, including all related categories and templates. (I am also responsible for the CentralNotices.)
The campaign for WLM UK can be found and tested here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard?campaign=wlm-uk All templates and system messages are available in English. If other languages are wanted, please let me know and follow these steps: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013/Upload_campaigns I just updated the header for the UK campaign by adding the website. You can customize the header with adding more links if wished, as long as the general idea is kept. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Upload_campaign_header_wlm-uk/en Images uploaded through the campaign are added to the category: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Cultural_heritage_monuments_in_the_United_Kingdom In general it is usual that (mostly) national authorities set up monument lists and assign unique identifiers to each specific monument they register to easy identification and often also enabling links to the website of the registering authority based on the identifier. We try have and use those identifiers for each country, we have several bots that do a lot of work purely based on this unique identifier. All files uploaded through the campaigns have this unique identifier on the file page to enable identification. This identifier is added to the file pages by the campaign and should be filled in there and a template needs to be created for that. Likely something like http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Cultural_Heritage_United_Kingdom based on for example http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Cultural_Heritage_Slovakia Yesterday I was looking for lists of the UK but didn't see any IDs for monuments? Can you help me with that? Do monuments in the UK have unique identifiers? I give an example of how this is done for Dutch monuments with a municipality in the Netherlands: http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lijst_van_rijksmonumenten_in_Aa_en_Hunze The last to columns of the table are for the unique identifier (header: "Nr.") and the picture. (In what order the cells are presented is up to the local community.) If there is no picture added, the row template automatically adds a link in that area (here in the last row: "Upload foto") which directly links to the upload campaign, with a link that automatically fills in the upload form with the unique identifier and coordinates. (More fields are possible, see: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013/Upload_campaigns#How_to_link_to_the_upload_campaign_and_pre-fill_it.3F ) Conclusion: everything is ready for the UK campaign, besides only one thing: the template for the unique identifiers and how uploaders should find that unique identifier. If there are any questions or requests for changes, just let me know.

I had been fully intending to do this myself, but I fear that I am now rapidly running out of time, especially as I have no knowledge of this whatsoever and would have to learn it all from scratch. Unfortunately, my available time has been reduced by quite a lot recently following my wife's problematic eye surgery, and with family coming to stay with us next week things are not looking too promising for me to complete this before the competition is due to start. I've asked for help from other UK volunteers, but without success, perhaps because we are all equally lacking in knowledge of this tool. I and the rest of the UK team are happy to offer our undying thanks to the right person :) Michael _______________________________________________ Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org _______________________________________________ Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org
