Hi all,
As many of you know, there are several tools overseen by the WLM international team for Wiki Loves -like contests. While I myself stepped down from the team, I wanted to send a (belated) quick reminder of some tools that are available.
Note that these are not all the tools available around WLM, only the ones that I (co-)maintain(ed) :)
== Statistics tools ==
The tool, beyond the “country race”, provides each competition with:
These two views may be helpful to gauge the health of your competition
== ErfgoedBot and Monuments database ==
While being mostly in maintenance mode, with no new features planned, good old ErfgoedBot should still be up and running (at least for countries that are not yet using Wikidata) − big thanks to André Costa for giving it some love :-)
For more information on the services provided by
ErfgoedBot (categorization, maintenance reports, etc.), please see the
documentation on Commons:
== Notification to uploaders without email enabled ==
Every three minutes, ErfgoedBot retrieves the list
of users who uploaded, in the last few minutes, pictures marked as
participating to WLM. If an uploader has not
enabled e-mail, the bot leaves a message on their talk page explaining
that it is necessary to win a prize (unless it has already notified that user).
You can help translating the message in more languages at:
We
hope that this will help to avoid situations of winning pictures with
no email enabled, only detected much later when the uploader is not
around anymore.
Hope this all helps,
