The United Kingdom needs to be added to the monuments database, now that they announced their participation in the competition. The lists situation looks pretty bad at the moment, there are only some basic lists linked from [1]. Not sure what's the status of Crown dependencies or the British Overseas Territories (there is a list for the Falklands[2]) since they're technically not part of the UK — will need to ask the organising team if they want/are able to cover those as well. ISO codes for subdivisions are listed at [3]. == References == * [1] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listed_buildings_in_the_United_Kingdom> * [2] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listed_buildings_in_the_Falkland_Islands> * [3] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:UK>
Also see <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Multichill/Monuments_notes#United_Kingdom> for some technical details gathered by Maarten (thanks!).
We already have a lot of sources in the monuments database (see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database/Statistics). This is a tracker bug to keep track of what more to add. Bugs should contain the source wikipedia language and the country (or region). Useful information to include: * project -wikipedia * lang - language code of the Wikipedia * headerTemplate - the name of the header template * rowTemplate - the name of the row template * commonsTemplate - template to track images at Commons * commonsTrackerCategory - the tracker category at Commons (blala with known IDs) * commonsCategoryBase - the base of the category tree at Commons for all images * autoGeocode - To automagicly geocode the images at Commons (be careful1) * unusedImagesPage - Page to put the list of unused images. * imagesWithoutIdPage - Page to put the list of images without an id. * registrantUrlBase - The url which can be combined with the id to get more info * namespaces - What namespaces are the lists in (0, please!) * table - The name of the table, convention monuments_<country>_(<lang>) * truncate - False if you don't have a real primkey * primkey - What is the primkey? Can be one or more fields. Should be unique, strong etc.
Today I added England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales to the monuments database. On the English Wikipedia I used the following row/header templates: * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:EH_listed_building_row * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:NIEA_listed_building_row * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:HB_Scotland_row * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cadw_listed_building_row On Commons I created/updated: * https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Listed_building_England * https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Listed_building_Northern_Ireland * https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Listed_building_Scotland * https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Listed_building_Wales All the bot magic (categorization, location tagging, images without id, etc) is enabled and you can see the items in the database: http://toolserver.org/~erfgoed/api/api.php?action=search&format=html&sradm0=gb&sradm1=eng http://toolserver.org/~erfgoed/api/api.php?action=search&format=html&sradm0=gb&sradm1=nir http://toolserver.org/~erfgoed/api/api.php?action=search&format=html&sradm0=gb&sradm1=sct http://toolserver.org/~erfgoed/api/api.php?action=search&format=html&sradm0=gb&sradm1=wls Update of the statistics on first import: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons%3AMonuments_database%2FStatistics&diff=102109164&oldid=102075230 The location based data is a bit problematic right now, but we can fix that later.
