Hi Hubert,
thanks for summarizing your ideas. The actual situation will be a little different most likely. I had a short chat with Maarten yesterday, and it seems like the upload form progress is going well. Don't pin me down on details, but this should give an idea.???
- We will indeed be able to use the new upload wizard
hi Lodewijk, We do not care which upload-Form we will use, important for us is the possibility to handover predefined informations.
- There will be a 'campaign' for each country. For example the campaign
'wlm-ch'
The same in Austria, but this will be part of my next efforts, what possibilities we have, especially if and how we are able to place category-related banner inside Wikipedia.
- Each campaign will be translated into several languages (always make
English available for tourists!), for example uselang=en 4. It will not be possible to call a database during the upload process.???
I know it. Therefor our solution, using informations directly from the Tables.
- The user will provide the identifier of the object in the form
This is exactly, what we will avoid. What happens, if the User have no idea, where he will get the ID? This is, in my opinion, the first weak point in the system.
Last year we did this too, and it worked quite well. We had several methods explained how they could find the identifier - through Wikipedia's lists, through a map with all the monuments on it (using the coordinates) or in another way. I believe someone was working on making it possible to query the database too etc. Maarten (or someone else) might be able to give more details. We can provide a link to that within the form. If we can transfer the identifier with the url, we could prefill it. But that assumes they already look it up on beforehand.
I agree with you that having it prefilled from the list is a good nice to have, and Multichill said they would consider it.
But if people already find the object in the list on wikipedia, they can read the number there and enter it on the uploadform as well, I do think even senior citizens will manage that if they came that far I think. So I don't consider this a showstopper if it doesn't work.
Regards,
Andre
