Hi,
Users reported a couple of problems with the upload form:
1. It seems the custom field has no label in English. It seems I forgot to add a "Page name with text for the ID field label. $1 is replaced with the language code:". Can someone change that to some page I can edit myself (i.e. not in the MediaWiki namespace)?
2. The second problem is that the files is too short for the longest monument ID we have. It seems we need 20 characters in the field. I CC'd NeilK (please keep him in the loop) and I will submit a bug, but if anyone knows a quick fix, please feel free to share :)
Thanks, Strainu

This has been resolved, thanks to Lodewijk.

I've logged bug 30696. It seems we're not the only ones in that situation, so if any other country has this problem, please add a comment to this bug.
Thanks, Strainu

I had chosen 25 as the maximum length for the id in the monuments_all table, after looking at the maximum of different countries plus a bit of rounding up.

Hi Platonides,
I had given up hope that those mails will actually reach the list, hence no follow-up. I've been talking to Jeroen and Roan yesterday, and now the length is configurable and the limit of 25 is now live.
