One Jury Tool to Rule them All
by David Narvaez 19 Aug '13

19 Aug '13

Hi all, A couple of weeks ago I was talking with Lodewikj about the idea of having a configurable Jury Tool that would suit the need of most of the participating countries. While it may seem early to talk about the Jury Tool for countries that are participating for the first time, the countries that are already experienced in the contest can give valuable input about what features should this tool have. We are already collecting information in this link http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013/JuryTool and I would like to get in touch with people that developed jury tools for previous contests so that we can start a discussion about features.

Listed buildings in the United Kingdom added to the monuments database
by Maarten Dammers 19 Aug '13

19 Aug '13

Hi everyone, I just added England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales to the monuments database. For technical details see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49047#c3 Some issues I came across: * Every country has a system to go down the tree like world -> <country> -> <province> -> <municipality>. We use ISO 3166-2 for that (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:GB). Currently we don't have that for the UK. Would be nice to add * List contain nested templates; I prefer not to have them (always source of bugs and problems) * Missing categories on Commons; The category tree under https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Listed_buildings_in_the_United_… seems incomplete. You want to have that done before September. I'd rather not have the double intersected categories like https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Grade_B%2B_listed_buildings_in_… because that actually makes it harder to locate images. I'll leave it up to you. * Missing commons category links; Once you've created the missing categories you should add Commons category links from the lists. This is used by the bot to automatically categorize all the newly uploaded images. * Scotland seems to have two templates; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:HS_listed_building_header#Dupli… * Some pages you should add to your watchlist for September: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Historic_sites/Unused_i… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Historic_sites/Unused_i… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Historic_sites/Unused_i… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Historic_sites/Unused_i… * Cardiff seems to have it's own redundant template at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cardiff_listed_building_row . This is not harvested right now, should use the standard one Maarten

Help needed with converting lists for Jordan
by Romaine Wiki 18 Aug '13

18 Aug '13

Hello all, On the Arabic Wikipedia there are monument lists for Jordan, but those are in a format which isn't handy and can't be used easy for Wiki Loves Monuments. Also in the lists we miss unique identifiers. Is anyone willling (and able) to convert the lists to a template based system with template rows? It are 12 short lists to be found on: https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D9%85%D9%84%D8%AD%D9%82:%D9%82%D8%A7%D8%A6%D… See for the other 11 the navigational bar at the bottom. These tables miss unique identifiers and it would be welcome if there good be space for coordinates as well. I wrote a comment about it on: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013_i… Thanks! Romaine

by Maarten Dammers 18 Aug '13

18 Aug '13

Hi everyone, Today I added UK, Thailand and Bolivia to the monuments database. I don't think I can add any more lists at the moment. If your list is ready to be added, please reply. You can see an overview of current sources at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database/Statistics Something else, is anyone willling (and able) to convert the lists at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heritage_conservation_in_Hong_Kong to a template based system? * One system with templates for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declared_monuments_of_Hong_Kong * Another system for the graded buildings Maarten

Hi Richard, Please send messages to the list. I'll reply inline. Op 17-8-2013 19:15, Richard Nevell schreef: > Is there a way to narrow down which category images are put into? With > thousands of uploads, even categories such as 'Grade I listed building > in Fooshire' can quickly fill up. Yes, of course, some listed buildings will even have their own category. You can build a whole tree structure for that. We have people and bots who can help to build such a structure. > > On 17 August 2013 17:41, Richard Nevell > <richard.nevell(a)wikimedia.org.uk > <mailto:richard.nevell@wikimedia.org.uk>> wrote: > > Is {{commons category inline}} the template that needs to be used > so the the bot can automatically categorise images? Will {{commons > category}} also work and will it work if a name different to the > page title is specified in the template? > You can use {{Commons category}} on a list page to tell the bot that everything in the list should go into a certain category on Commons. It expects one parameter with the name of the category on Commons, I'm not sure if without parameter works. You can see that in action at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Grade_B%2B_listed_buildings_in_County… . That will send the images to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Grade_B%2B_listed_buildings_in_… . It's also possible to add the field "commonscat" to a single list entry. I did that at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Grade_B%2B_listed_buildi… . If someone now uploads a monument with id "HB16/28/018 A", the bot will put it in https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:ArmaghDown_Bridge,_Newry Bot will always takes more specific so the logic is: 1. Single row 2. List page 3. The category the list is in Maarten

Help needed please to set up UploadCampaigns in the UK
by Michael Maggs 17 Aug '13

17 Aug '13

Hi all I wonder if there is anyone with experience in UploadCampaigns who could help us set up something for the UK, please? I had been fully intending to do this myself, but I fear that I am now rapidly running out of time, especially as I have no knowledge of this whatsoever and would have to learn it all from scratch. Unfortunately, my available time has been reduced by quite a lot recently following my wife's problematic eye surgery, and with family coming to stay with us next week things are not looking too promising for me to complete this before the competition is due to start. I've asked for help from other UK volunteers, but without success, perhaps because we are all equally lacking in knowledge of this tool. I and the rest of the UK team are happy to offer our undying thanks to the right person :) Michael

WordPress WLMImageCounter plugin
by Michael Maggs 16 Aug '13

16 Aug '13

Hi The UK website at http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org.uk/ uses the WikiLovesMonuments WordPress theme, version 0.5. According to text that comes with the theme "It needs the Cimy image rotator plugin, suggested plugin: WLMImageCounter". However, the WLMImageCounter plugin does not appear to exist. Anyone know anything about that, please? Michael

Wiki Takes Creator Wizard on Commons
by Pharos 15 Aug '13

15 Aug '13

I have been working on a WLM-friendly 'Wiki Takes' creator wizard on Commons, that allows a simple alphanumeric to designate both official WLM goals and other goals to be selected for a real-life photo scavenger hunt event. This kind of tool is potentially useful, in that many cities have only a small number of official monuments (which may already have good photos), and because it simplifies marking even of official monuments for the newbies on a one-day photo hunt. Here is a rough prototype version, currently parked at the rather messy photo hunt project page: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Photo_scavenger_hunts#Event_wizard Perhaps it would make more sense in future to associate the tool with the more specific and developed WLM 'Wiki Takes' project page: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments/Organizing_a… It works through this template, which converts an alphanumeric goal code from a particular 'Wiki Takes' into the official monument id and template (if applicable): http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Hunt And this is the default table arrangement of the goal codes, with the goal name before the comma and the monument id (if applicable) after it: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Photo_scavenger_hunt… I hope to promote the use of this tool for several local United States WLM photo hunts in the 'Wikipedia Takes America' campaign this September: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Takes_America Any thoughts on how to improve this system would be most appreciated! Certainly my tech skills leave much to be desired ;) Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos)
