Hey Romaine,
I've posted to the bug and I suggest we keep discussion focused there.
Cheers,
Erik

Hello Yuvi,
As I requested on IRC: please disable the patch, it is breaking a good organized Wiki
Loves Monuments.
As I explained to you on IRC, you are now proposing to re-create the problems we had last
year with campaigns. The whole purpose of the new campaigns is to be able to track changes
done in the campaigns, as last year we could each time restore the campaigns, also too
many users can edit the technical part of campaigns so we have now one person in charge of
the campaigns, creating and maintaining them for the national teams, and we certainly do
not want people to visit these technical pages. It are highly sensitive pages and there is
no further protection possible.
Already in the past weeks several campaigns were changed the wrong way and had to be
restored, we do not want to repeat the situation of 2012 again.
I filled a bug to prevent this idea to be executed:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53570
We will do everything to disable this system on these crucial and critical technical
pages.
Please enable this somewhere else, but not on these technical pages which are solely used
for maintenance.
Romaine

Subject: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Nicer, more useful Campaign pages coming soon!

Hello everyone!
I've been working on making Campaign pages more useful over
the last
few days. Details about the system are at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Yuvipanda/Campaigns_namespace_proposal,
but even better - you can see a live demo!
http://blue-dragon.wmflabs.org/wiki/Campaign:show-off-campaigns
The idea being that you can pass on links to the Campaign
page itself
and people can upload from there. They can also see a
description, and
other images that have been uploaded (it currently shows the
last 50
images). This is far more useful than the current version,
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaign:wlm-nl,
which is just a
JSON structure.
Suggestions / Comments for improving the feature are
welcome! While
initially I expected this to take longer to finish, things
moved much
faster than expected and the patch is very close to being
merged now!
I'll try to get this deployed next week.
Thanks!
