Run a bot (this is not manually though). I can provide such bot. Ilya On Tue, Aug 27, 2013 at 6:42 PM, Michael Maggs <Michael(a)maggs.name> wrote:

It seems likely that in the UK we will need to do pre-filtering of the entries as the competition goes on. Is there any way to get the upload wizard to add each image to a custom daily category on Commons, such as [[Category:WLM-UK 2013 09-01]], and so on, throughout the contest? If not, what would be the quickest way to populate such a daily category manually?

Thanks Ilya, I would be interested to get hold of that. Michael On 27 Aug 2013, at 16:45, Ilya Korniyko wrote:

Sounds good. Could you or someone provide some help with doing that? It’s beyond my capabilities. Michael On 27 Aug 2013, at 16:46, Yuvi Panda wrote:

Actually, that is not necessary. Since there are going to be templates added to each upload, a little bit of lua/template magic should be able to add the categories automatically. -- Yuvi Panda T http://yuvi.in/blog _______________________________________________ Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list WikiLovesMonuments(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org

It’s to identify images that have not yet been screened. We are expecting (or at least hoping) to get too many images to give directly to the jury, and will be doing some pre-filtering as the competition goes on, on a daily basis. If we have a working jury tool, these maintenance categories can be used to upload batches of images for pre-screening. If not, we will have to work directly in Commons.

Is this to identify images that need further categorisation, or to identify images that need assessment as part of the competition?

Yes, we'll be doing that anyway. The request for daily categories is not for sorting but for judging. Michael On 28 Aug 2013, at 17:42, Andrew Gray wrote:

If you're confident we'll have the volunteer labour to do sorting, then a hidden category along the lines of [[Category:2013 Wiki Loves Monuments articles not yet categorised]] would be useful - remove when categorised, or indeed remove automatically when using catalot. It's what I've done for past bulk uploads. A.

A bot will go over the categories in https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database/Categorizatio… every night sorting out the images. Just make sure the lists on Wikiedia have Commons category links to Commons so the bot knows where to put the images. Maarten

If needed it is possible to subst a template so that a specific time period can have influence on the templates/etc what is put on the file page. Very easy to add. Contact me directly to get this done.

Hello Michael, The easiest way is to create a template that is substed on the file page that automatically inserts the category you want.

Yes, I understand that but I would much prefer automated breakdowns rather than manual intervention. Michael On 28 Aug 2013, at 17:22, Lodewijk wrote:

If I understand correctly, the main objective is to cut it into digestible pieces. Wouldn't this be much easier if you just change the form by hand every time the category hits 2500 (or something)? Then sometimes you might have 2000, sometimes 3500, but it would be the same order of magnitude. I can already predict that the days in the beginning will be much slower than at the end :) Lodewijk 2013/8/28 Romaine Wiki <romaine_wiki(a)yahoo.com> Hello Michael, The easiest way is to create a template that is substed on the file page that automatically inserts the category you want.
