Hallo,

I just made the small edit to add it to the upload link in the template. https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3AWLE_Scotland_list...

The description should not be used for this. Especially due to the new interaction between description and caption in the UploadWizard. It is better to use the fields parameter.

In the campaign you need to add:

"fields": [         {             "wikitext": "\n{{TEMPLATE NAME|$1}}",             "label": "EXPLAIN WHAT THIS IS, GIVE WARNING NOT TO CHANGE"         }

$1 is where the Wikidata item id will be placed.

You just need to create a small wrapper template for the Wikidata item. You can use the layout of the WDPA template for example. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:WDPA

But I want to give a small warning: In Germany we had bad experiences whit these ID fields as people filled them with whatever they wanted but not with the correct ID. You could avoid this is if you create two upload campaigns: One with the ID field only linked from the list where the field is prefilled and one without the field that is used everywhere else. The optimal solution would be to just create empty categories for all protected areas that you do not need additional parameters in the upload form.

Regards Leo

Hi Sara! You can use the /description/ parameter to append any text as description through the means of the url.

Hi there folks,

Wondering if someone might be able to advise!

I'm wondering if there's a way to ensure that when a user enters
the competition through using the upload button on our list of
protected areas, that the Wikidata item (assuming that there is
one) is included in the wikitext of the image?

Currently, our upload buttons (see here
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_in_Scotland/Protected_natural_areas> for
example) add the Commons category if there is one, but don't seem
to add the Wikidata item.  I've had a look at the template but I'm
stuck.

Any help would be appreciated!

All the best,
Sara
