This wiki contains images and pages that are grouped in Collections. Collections form a hierarchy, so that anything that is e.g. in the "Churches/Religious" collection is also in the "Buildings" collection.

Images and Files

To list and search all of the images and files that are uploaded to this wiki, click here: Special:ListFiles To upload an image or other type of file, click here: Special:Upload To annotate or edit the annotations of an existing image, go to the page for the image and click "Edit with form". To add an image to a collection or collections, go to the page for the image and click "Edit with form", then look for the "Collections" section.

To create a new collection:

  1. Make a collection page by entering the name of the collection here:
    • assign the new collection to a parent collection if applicable using the form:

Adding an image

I wonder if there is a way to automatically add the template...

  1. Upload the image
  2. Add Template:Image description to annotate the image: add {{Image description}} to the description field
  3. Save
  4. "Edit with form" to annotate the image and add it to relevant collections
