The bots look at Wikipedia and so do the users. I can't even edit the
lists on your wiki!

If you're afraid of things failing, you could of course just copy it
first and see if everything works. There's no need to delete it.
I may try that, indeed. The problem is that, anyway, one would need
to do changes in the bots/database/etc. to make them point to the
new lists, so I think that problems may still arise and be noticed
by the participants.
What I was thinking to do is to keep the contest lists where they
are and create copies for Wikipedia (similar to your suggestion, but
the official contest lists would still be the external ones).
But one of the identified success factors has always been that
pictures end up on Wikipedia - that is what motivates a lot of people.
I don't think that both things (having the lists in an external wiki
and adding pics to Wikipedia) are mutually exclusive. Why wouldn't
be possible to add the pics to the articles and existing Wikipedia
lists while keeping the contest lists where they are?
