If you "curate" an en.Wikipedia page about place in the UK, and it appeared in the Domesday Book, please add the OpenDomesday template: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:OpenDomesday to the external links section. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk

To test this, I added it to my childhood village here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Penn%2C_West_Midlands&diff=49… It works brilliantly. Thanks very much for setting this up Andy - do OpenDomesday know we're doing it?

Thank you. Yes; I'm in contact with Anna Powell-Smith, who spoke about OD at the Wikimedia-UK AGM and who set up the Domesday wikiproject. On 16 May 2012 14:47, Richard Symonds <richard.symonds(a)wikimedia.org.uk> wrote:

Andy's note encouraged me to send off a bot to populate <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Geograph_images_of_places_mentioned_in_the_Domesday_Book>. The bot has only just started, it may take a while to finish! So don't go renaming the category or anything daft for at least a day, but just having this category might kick off some creative ideas.

It's nasty and weak, I'm only picking up image pages that mention "Domesday Book". Luckily this seems to be quite a few, but in no way will be exhaustive or guaranteed to be fully accurate. It's a kick start only, hence leaving this as a hidden category for now. For those that know certain areas, this might be a good start for manual corrections, or to add similar information to related nearby photos that do not mention Domesday. If there is enough interest, we could ask a bot writer to use a standard location list to add Domesday categories more widely to geotagged images. It would be beyond my current bot skills though. * <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Geograph_images_of_places_mentioned_in_the_Domesday_Book> Cheers, Fae

NB that "Domesday survey" also works. (Not a synonym! Interesting but off-topic here.) Charles

Fae, Wouldn't it be more useful to categorise the categories rather than the images? Most of the individual images will be far newer than Domesday, especially those of trees and buildings. Plus the categories are rather fewer in number. WSC On 16 May 2012 16:46, Fae <faenwp(a)gmail.com> wrote:
