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
