Michael, This is a good question and the answer is that there is no function to replace the "empty picture" upload link. The listing code is the unique identifier, and looking this up is called the "discovery" side of the upload process. Discovery of the identifier can be done a number of ways: 1) searching in google for the house address should pull up the Wikipedia list item with the number 2) searching through the special google maps function available on the local WikiLovesMonuments website 3) Being at the listed building and reading the number from an information plaque

Hi all
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I need an answer in order to write some competitor instructions!
In the UK, we will be asking competitors to upload via one of the local Listed Buildings pages on the English Wikipedia which are accessible eg via the page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listed_buildings_in_England
An example of a page which has recently been updated to use the WLM template is here (not all pages are complete yet):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_I_listed_buildings_in_Bristol
If there is no existing image of a buidling, clicking on the last column goes to the upload wizard, but if there is already an image it seems the competitor will need to do some manual work to find the listing code and upload separately. That is not good.
What would you recommend? Have I missed something, or do we need to change the list template so that it always has some sort of visible upload link?
