Hello Yuvi, As I requested on IRC: please disable the patch, it is breaking a good organized Wiki Loves Monuments.
As I explained to you on IRC, you are now proposing to re-create the problems we had last year with campaigns. The whole purpose of the new campaigns is to be able to track changes done in the campaigns, as last year we could each time restore the campaigns, also too many users can edit the technical part of campaigns so we have now one person in charge of the campaigns, creating and maintaining them for the national teams, and we certainly do not want people to visit these technical pages. It are highly sensitive pages and there is no further protection possible. Already in the past weeks several campaigns were changed the wrong way and had to be restored, we do not want to repeat the situation of 2012 again. I filled a bug to prevent this idea to be executed: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53570 We will do everything to disable this system on these crucial and critical technical pages. Please enable this somewhere else, but not on these technical pages which are solely used for maintenance.

To: "Wiki Loves Monuments Photograph Competition" <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, August 29, 2013, 9:40 PM Hello everyone! I've been working on making Campaign pages more useful over the last few days. Details about the system are at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Yuvipanda/Campaigns_namespace_proposal, but even better - you can see a live demo! http://blue-dragon.wmflabs.org/wiki/Campaign:show-off-campaigns The idea being that you can pass on links to the Campaign page itself and people can upload from there. They can also see a description, and other images that have been uploaded (it currently shows the last 50 images). This is far more useful than the current version, http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaign:wlm-nl, which is just a JSON structure. Suggestions / Comments for improving the feature are welcome! While initially I expected this to take longer to finish, things moved much faster than expected and the patch is very close to being merged now! I'll try to get this deployed next week.
