- When uploading archaeological objects and art, we highly recommend the use of {{Artwork}} (instead of {{Information}}) since it provides specialized fields where very important detail can be provided (discovery date, current location etc.)
- For batch uploads, we recommend Commonist since it can be configured to upload media and automatically apply {{Artwork}}
- To migrate your existing files from {{Information}} to {{Artwork}}, you can use AutoWikiBrowser to search and replace "{{Information" with "{{subst:Artwork/subst"
- For example, see:
- We suggest longer, descriptive names for files, as in Map with Trajans Bridge and Roman Ruins in Danubius Pannonico-Mysicus 1726 by Marsigli.jpg, instead of names like Map01.jpg
- Use Sum-it-up to automatically provide multilingual descriptions and interwiki links to categories and galleries (e.g. Category:Dacia) and What is that? for adding multilingual descriptions to files (e.g. File:Roman province of Dacia (106 - 271 AD).svg). You can also add both tools to your Toolbox on the left menu from your Preferences, Gadgets tab. This greatly enhances the ability of other users to find and use the files across all Wikis.
- Make sure you provide reliable sources for the maps you create, and provide the author, book, page in the "Source" field.. Example:
- Try to use the SVG file format for maps, since it is much easier to edit the labels
- If you derive your work from other images on Commons, please create a relationship between the two images using the {{Derived from}}, {{Retouched picture}} and {{Derivative versions}} templates. Example:
-
French version
-
Italian version
