* possibly: family template (???) this might mostly be a lister of where the family is linked from, any person pages from the family, etc.


* oral history... how would one best structure that? just hyperlinks after the fact? Does it need a "person" structure? which would interact with the family structure? That should probably be multiple oral histories per person. How would that correlate with event? In theory it would be nice to have these as one page per topic, but likely the conversations are more stream of consciousness than that. Ask Myron


* possible consideration:
Artifact template/table with picture that can be linked to any of these, incl location in museum


* automatic addition of template code to e.g. image uploads: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:NamespacePreload
Option 3:
* edit the page
* add <nowiki>{{CollectedIn}}</nowiki>
* save the page
* click "edit with form" and use the dropdown to pick the collection


* add buttons to insert menu in VE to add CollectedIn and Collection template; maybe.

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiEditor/Toolbar_customization/Library
* also add image description https://chs.squirrelslair.ca/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.js


* check if I can add the hierarchy definition to a template instead of editing it in the [[Template:CollectedIn]] - that would also allow turning new things into redlinks to start the new collection that way.
* should the search automatically include the CHS namespace? Most users shouldn't actually see it, so likely not. But it should search the file namespace and now does.

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.

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.
