Hi! Are there any good examples of on-wiki step-by-step upload manuals related to WLM? I want to create one for our local contest as we did not have one in previous editions. Maybe some of our potential participants are just confused by the process. Mārtiņš

Hi Mārtiņš, When we met in Wikimania, WLM-IL folks mentioned that they have created a step by step tutorial for their participants. I'm Bcc-ing one of the organizers in case they want to chime in on this thread. Best, Lily On Mon, Aug 21, 2017 at 3:38 AM, Mārtiņš Bruņenieks <martinsb(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Martins, I personally find the Nepal page <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2016_in_Nepal> quite helpful in this respect - perhaps that can serve as inspiration. Best, Lodewijk On Mon, Aug 21, 2017 at 6:48 AM, Ciell Wikipedia <ciell.wikipedia(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Actually, the English language community found it necessary to move it to the 'draft namespace' <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:List_of_Monuments_in_Nepal>. See the unhelpful discussion here <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/Wikipedia:List_of_Monuments_in_Nepal> .

How odd, seems perfect for the Wikipedia namespace. On 21 August 2017 at 15:01, Lodewijk <lodewijk(a)effeietsanders.org> wrote:

Does the deletion of all these articles (200+) mean that the way the competition functions for Nepal is broken? On 21 August 2017 at 16:12, Michael Maggs <Michael(a)maggs.name> wrote:

Hi John, I created a ticket in Phabricator <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T173726> to reconnect the monuments database. It seems that moving namespaces did break the connection, but I don't see why it would be like that forever. I don't know where you got the number of 200+ pages btw, there are 75 districts. It is not a desired or appreciated step by the community imho, but also it won't be the end of the world, I think. Thanks for flagging it though.
