Hello,
I would be grateful for some advise on the following matter. The NLW is interested in uploading a large Tithe Map (1840's map of a whole town) to Commons. The map has already been Geo- referenced at multiple points. Would it be possible to import that Geo referencing data into Commons?
Will commons except a .geotiff file? or can the data be imported in some other way. The file will be close to the 1GB upload limit (manual uploader) in size and will be High Resolution.
Thanks
Jason
The Commons used to have a system for using a KML file to georeference an image using the {{overlay}} template, but the WMF Lab tool it depends on appears to be down. I’ve left a message with the developer [1]. You can read more about the way the system is supposed to work at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Geocoding/Overlay
cheers, Gaurav
