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.

Assigning a page to a collection
Option 1:
- enter the page name in the spot below and assign any relevant categories:
Option 2:
- go to the page
- click the edit link
- click the "insert" dropdown
- click "Template"
- start typing "CollectedIn" and choose that option
- type the collection you want to assign the page to
- click "insert"
- add additional collections the same way
- save
Option 3:
- edit the page
- add {{CollectedIn}}
- save the page
- click "edit with form" and use the dropdown to pick the collection
Adding a new collection
- 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:
- add the collection to the template hierarchy by editing Template:CollectedIn
- Re-create the table to update the hierarchy:
- in template, click the "Recreate data" tab
- uncheck the "Recreate data into a replacement table, keeping the old one for querying"
- click OK
- wait 1 minute for process to complete (you can click on "View replacement table" link to check progress
Some queries will not show a collection unless it has at least one item in it.
Adding an image
I wonder if there is a way to automatically add the template...
- Upload the image
- Add Template:Image description to annotate the image: add
{{Image description}}
to the description field - Save
- "Edit with form" to annotate the image and add it to relevant collections
