For Wiki Loves Monuments 2011
tools
are being developed for various tasks.
General guidelines
edit
All tools should follow these general guidelines
The tool should be open source.
The source should be published.
Keep internationalization in mind.
Preferably the tools should be developed at the
toollabs

Monuments lookup
edit
Since monuments tend to be numbered in groups based on location, this quick lookup method is handy for finding out if specific or nearby monuments are already uploaded to Commons with a proper monument number (this lookup has been particularly useful for discovering not-yet-categorized pictures on commons for use in articles about monuments).
Sample monument lookup:
Monuments-map/Dutch monuments in OpenStreetMap
edit
Based on the
rijksmonumenten tool
a proof of concept was made to display all the monuments currently in the database on a
map
dead link
On this map the icons for monuments that have a photo are small, the icons where a photo is missing are large. As background map is
OpenStreetMap
on client side runs
OpenLayers
, so it runs in each browser and can also include as iframe in other websites.
It's hacky and needs an i18n. It should be replaced with the
search and export tool
WMCH

Database browsing

URL:
Allows coordinate insertions and corrections to be made;
Statistics: the aim is to monitor evolution of coordinate, image, and article coverage before, during, and after the contest. It's built on a schema extensions (and data collected throught ETL to gather a lot of information), so it might not work immediately for other chapters.

Austrian tools
edit
Denkmalliste by AleXXw
, multible functions for general maintenance of lists and pictures, most could easily extended internationally:
Listview, mapview and both of them at once: top left pull down to choose municipality, Buttons:
"Liste"
dead link
= list,
"Karte"
dead link
= map,
"beides"
dead link
= both list and map.
"Liste ohne Bilder"
dead link
= list without images for slow connections.
Own Page for every ID with all aviable pictures, listentry and all pictures are shown on map (iE
ID 28985
Listviews and Single-ID-Page have links for wiki-article, wiki-list, commonscat, picture-upload,...
Errorlists, 5 Buttons on right:
"Koordinatenfehler"
= Coordinate-Error, shows entrys where list-items are not located in Austria (ie changed lon-lat)
"Grundstücksfehler"
= Wrong format of plot of land-number, Austria-specific
"Verlinkungsfehler"
= In some fields Wikilinks and Weblinks are not allowed.
"Bilder vorhanden aber keine Einbindung"
= There are pictures with ID-Tag, but in the lists a picture is missing, similar
Multichill's list
"Falsche ID"
= Pictures with not-existing or wrong formated ID.
WLM-specifc tool
"Gesamtliste"
= All austrian WLM-pictures, very slow...
"User-Bildliste"
= WLM-Pictures sorted by User, slow
"User-Statistik"
= Number of WLM-Pictures by User
Single-User-View
, list of all WLM-pictures per user.
If anyone could use one of these features just contact me :) --

Wanted tools
edit
Search and export tool
edit
The
monuments database
is expanding rapidly, but we don't have a good and convenient way to get information from this database. The tool should consist of two parts: Searching and output format.
Api
/ Code:
Searching
: It should be easy to make a selection of the monuments
Search by location
bounding box
distance (for example monuments in 10 km radius, find nearest monument)
Search for monuments without an image
(add more requirements here)
Search by text fields
select by country, municipality
search by whole name, match a string in name
Text search & location search combined
Output formats
: The tool should be able to output the results in different formats
Static or dynamic KML for Google Earth and Google Maps
Gpx for you GPS
TomTom POI format
Layar format
HTML lists to print
Structured formats like JSON or XML so it can be used like the
MediaWiki api
list of formats
The tool should be available in multiple languages. The input side of the monuments database was written in python, this tool should probably be written in php. For the structured lists, some MediaWiki api code could be reused.
Overview of how the flow should be
Ideas on parameters
edit
Common parameters
(applicable to all orders)
props = [country|id|name|address|municipality|lat|lon|image|source|changed]: the properties which should be returned. By default all of them.
output = [kml|gpx|poi|html|layar|json|xml]
Specific orders
action =
search: searches monuments containing the specified text OR "*" to show all monuments within the following paramaters:
srcountry = countrycode_(lang) OR "*"
srmunicipality = municipality
sraddress = address
srcoortinates = [yes|no|both]
srimage = [yes|no|both]
srinrange = lat, lon, range
statistics: gives statistical data, of a given country
stcountry = countrycode_(lang) OR "*"
stprops = [withimage|withcoordinates|noimage|nocoordinates|
add more
stformat = [percent|number|both]
Please note
: Just ideas. Feel free to improve, delete or whatever you want.

Matching images from Commons to monuments
edit
A tool that displays in Google maps or in Google Earth
1) monuments
2) all geolocated images in Commons in 1 km radius of those monuments which are not yet tagged with a monumentID template in Commons
+ this tool lets bind those images with monuments -- drag and drop image onto monument location icon would be nice
... as a result image on Commons get's monumentID template added to it

Simplified Commonist
edit
See also
Commons:Tools/Commonist
Mass upload for Wiki Loves Monuments has so far been a tough thing to do, especially for the new and inexperienced participants of the contest.
Wikimedia Foundation developers have done a great job on preparing & fixing
UploadWizard
and enabling
UploadCampaigns
that we used in September. Unfortunately, UploadWizard has a small but important flaw, which is, of course, its limitation to only 10 files that can be uploaded simultaneously, and the lack of an at least semi-automated upload method (preparing descriptions is a true pain).
I would like to ask someone to create a simplified version of Commonist or another easy-to-use, preferably Java-based (or at least Windows-friendly) mass upload tool for use by the participants of the national contests. Here are some proposed requirements and ideas for such a programme (hint: I
am not a programmer, so feel free to suggest your own ideas!):
Would need to be as similar to the UploadCampaign as possible:
No need to choose the wiki (Wikimedia Commons set by default);
No need to choose the licence/permission (Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 by default);
No need to insert the source (should be set as
Own work
by default);
No need to choose categories (will be dealt with by templates);
No need to insert coordinates (could be taken from EXIF data);
Instead:
The programme should allow to insert the ID of the monument;
It should have the WLM logo somewhere;
It should be as much localisable as possible;
More?
Possible features:
It should have some hard-coded (but localisable) information on the rules of contest or the licence;
An "info" tab (with a basic FAQ or some links) would be a plus.
Sexiness (i.e. easy-to-use and shiny) would be a plus.
More?
