Minor API improvement
by Holger Motzkau 12 Sep '12

12 Sep '12

Hej, since most of our Swedish Monuments don't have a useful name or address our monument map http://wikilovesmonuments.se/delta-i-tavlingen/hitta-monument/ only shows the id and municipality. This information is often not sufficient enough at all, if you don't know if you are looking for a house of a stone. As the WLM database contains the registrant_url i made a quick fix by copying the WLM api into my toolserver directory and made the ID a link to the registrant_url (see attached patch for include/FormatKml.diff). Is there any nicer way to get the same result, or otherwise if we are not the only ones needing it: Can somebody add the patch to the main API? Regards, Holger

multiple refnums on US historic districts disables button
by Peter Ekman 11 Sep '12

11 Sep '12

Many US historic districts have had several expansions, which results in multiple reference numbers. In at least two cases, Charleston Historic District in South Carolina, and one earlier, having multiple refnums in the table results in the upload button being disabled. I removed the extra refnums (leaving the first) in both cases and the upload button then worked. Any suggestions for a general fix? Pete User:Smallbones

Please put the mobile app banner on your country sites
by Philip Chang 11 Sep '12

11 Sep '12

Hi All, The contest if off to a good start but traction for the mobile app is lagging. So far we have 300+ uploads and about 1500 installs of the app. In some countries, the app will broaden participation, so it is a good idea to let your communities know the app is available. We have created a sample banner here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_mobile_application/Mark… Which you can modify as desired. The text is editable so it is easy to translate, or feel free to change the text. The download link is in the banner text and graphics and QR code, so don't worry about that. Please let me know if you have any questions. We can help with re-formatting. In addition, we are seeing some mobile/tech press attention in the US, so the app could help your overall PR efforts. For example: * http://allthingsd.com/20120904/wikipedia-mounts-massive-monthlong-photo-com… * Thank you.

Conference opportunities for WLM
by Tomasz W. Kozłowski 11 Sep '12

11 Sep '12

Hi all, I spent some time today looking at opportunities for us to promote Wiki Loves Monuments on cultural heritage-related conferences (both academic and those less professional, too). For now, it looks like we've missed some great opportunities, because conferences generally have early calls for papers :-( In any case, I have only found three interesting conferences, all to be held in Germany ("Summit of Newthinking", "Denkmal" and "Re:Publica" in 2013), and would like to ask for your help. Do you happen to know about any cultural heritage-related conferences to be held in your country/neighbourhood? I think we'll be mostly interested in those taking place in November/December/January (and later, but those wouldn't be known yet). If so, please let us know! Thanks in advance, -- Tomasz W. Kozłowski a.k.a. [[user:odder]]

Please add "Download the app" in campaign header

Just a reminder that the campaign headers are an ideal place to show a link to the Android app. Here is an example: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3AUpload_campaign_h… Here is the actual text to add: [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wikipedia.wlm Download the Android app] Clearly, the words, "Download the Android app" should be translated.
