[Wiki Loves Monuments] [Maps-l] Monuments on the map

[Michael Maggs]

Hi Batien

Many competitors in the UK find it difficult to follow the competition instructions to upload via the links on Wikipedia due to the fragmentary nature of the WP listed buildings pages. As a result, many are bypassing the WP link, which means their images cannot be automatically templated with the correct monument number.

What would be really great - at least for the UK - would be to have an "upload another photo" link on the pop-up boxes generated by your tool, which goes straight to the WLM upload tool. That would enable the autofill to work in a very sealmess way, and would hugely reduce the amount of manual categorisation we need to do.

Any chance of that?
