Hello everyone
I need urgent help for the Wiki Loves Africa photo contest.
The contest starts in less than 24 hours. Due to family issues, Romaine, who set up our site notice and landing pages last years, appears to be missing in action.
As a result, we have no site notice set up (which is something annoying, but at worse... we will do for a few days without a site notice, just some fun on Facebook and Twitter and blogs).
But there is also no dedicated upload wizard (which is significantly more annoying as pictures will not get taggued and categorized.
So... I am looking for someone who know how to do this and I thought WLE and WLM were places where I could find such person maybe...
We do not start from nowhere.
== Landing pages ==
I know that I do not know how to do it (been there, done that). Last year landing pages and messages are listed there : https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Wiki_Loves_Africa_2017#Site_...
And I already put the elements that Romaine usually asks me (the language, image etc.) here : https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Wiki_Loves_Africa_2017#Site_...
Does anyone know how to do a dedicated upload system ? Does anyone know someone who know how to do that ? Who can help us ?
== Banners==
Banner wise, we used two banners last year, which may be reused probably in a very similar way.

If someone knows how to create the campaign and two banners for 2017 out of the 2016 model... that would be awesome.
But I think that I can probably do it myself and if needed, I'll do it tomorrow. I am less worried about this one (perhaps I should though ;))
Anyway... biggest problem at the moment is really no landing page with upload tool.
Your help would be very very very very welcome

Hello Florence
I have setup a campaign based on your data. It is available at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard?campaign=wla
Please note that you need to create Template:Wiki Loves Africa 2017
Also, tell me if you want a default category to be added to the images.
Should the UploadWizard be asking both the country where the photo was taken and the uploader's country? What should it do with them? Is there a template to be used to wrap the answers?
It can be refined later, but hopefully, this should be enough for getting uploads for the time being :)
Best regards
