Hello, Jernej!

It seems to me that if any materials were developed for social media, they would not usually end up on Wikimedia Commons :) Their life span is too short - to attract attention, and (maybe) sometimes they will even be on the border of copyright violation... and even out of scope.

Maybe something like this fact sheet will be useful? https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_Fact_Sheet.pdf

(You can also post parts of it, like separate facts, like: - this is the largest photo contest in the world (and a picture of Guinness World Records seal https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/largest-photography-compe... ) - more than 40 countries are taking part in it (and a map https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Participating_Countries_WLM_2019.svg) and this is the first time Slovenia joined - Slovenia has xxx monuments, and only xx are illustrated (or some other locally relevant statistics) etc, to motivate people and make them aware)

This video is not country specific, so it can be shared. But you might want to translate the subtitles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnzQf9VbH9g On Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikilovesmonuments.org.webm

Our team has been posting pictures from the previous years as a countdown for the start of the contest, but they are not really reusable, I am afraid: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WLM_in_Ukraine_starts_in_2_days.jpg Especially as you are doing your first contest...

Overall, this category was supposed to be useful for situations like that, but I doubt it is populated enough and regularly: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Documentation_for_Wiki_Loves_Mon...

Dear all,

we're organizing WLM in Slovenia for the first time, and I was wondering... does anyone have any promo imagery for publishing on social media that I could adapt to our language? Browsing Commons yielded nothing.

Thanks,

Jernej Wikipedians of Slovenia User Group

Hi Lodewijik,

Yes, I have that challenge while I was creating the landing page for Nigeria this morning.

My impression was that the campaign (wlm-ng for example) would be fixed on the upload tab at the start of the contest.

I am happy you asked this question. Thank you,

Isaac

Hi Martin,

thanks a lot, this is super helpful, and I see that several countries adopted it.

I got one question from one of those countries, which I couldn't immediately find myself, and that is how to plug the correct upload wizard in the upload button. Currently, it goes to the regular Upload wizard, but it should go to something like

https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UploadWizard&cam...

Could you make that possible? I think the parameter you'd want people to specify is the campaign=wlm-XX (please don't ask for country code, but campaign code).

Best, Lodewijk

Hi everybody!

starting during the Wikimania Hackathon we created responsive Page-template that can be adapted for the local WLM landingpages (the pages, the banner is targeted to). You'll find it here:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments/Documentatio...

Feel free to copy the wikitext source to your desired lemma and start to translate and customize it.

This landing page is based on a set of templates and stylesheets, that are not jet documented. But I think you'll get the purpose of each element while observing it's usage in the landing page. If anyone is interested in helping me with the documentation, that would be great. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:WLXpage

Currently it is only the landingpage itself. But I am working on subpages and a Navigation as well. Hopefully that will be usable within the next few days. I'll give you a note.

I hope that this page helps you to prepare your countries competion?!

Best wishes for the pre-WLM sprint // Martin

DISCLAIMERS:

1. The whole thing should work on mobile and has been tested against the

Vector and Minerva Skin. But it still is in early beta stage - so please don't be too angry if there are any unclean spots or display errors. I'll try to do some quality assurance before the competition starts, which will automatically tile in wherever the templates are used.

2. The Template-Styles StyleSheet is generated via SASS. So if you have

any suggestions concering enhancements and bugs, don't do it yourself but contact me. Otherwise your changes maybe overwritten by the next update.

3. I didn't invest any work into rtl-Support so far. It may work though,

but please don't blame me if it breaks.
