FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Sweden Church Images and Parish Pages part 2

Swedish Church Images and Parish Pages/Part 2


Project Leader

Amber Larsen

Purpose

To enrich the parish pages for Sweden by locating pictures of the parish churches.
A researcher may go to a Swedish parish page looking for websites, place names, jurisdictional information, or databases, but these tools alone are simply text on a page. The purpose of adding pictures to the parish pages is to enrich the research experience by giving a visual glimpse of the ancestor’s life. Its fun and exciting to see a place where you know the ancestor visited often.


Task List

The Task List for this project will be added to the Google Sheet below:

Instructions

Step 1 - Upload Images to the Wiki


1. Download the image from the link for your respective image from the Google sheet.

  • Click on the link from the Google Sheet (see Column F), right-click on the church image, and click "Save Image As". Save the file to your computer somewhere you will be able to locate it, such as the Desktop or your Downloads folder.


2. To upload the file into the FamilySearch Wiki, click Upload file (found under Tools on the left-hand side).


3. Click Choose file under the Source section of the page.


4. Select the church image file you downloaded to your computer, and continue uploading it into the Wiki.

  • NOTE: If you plan on downloading/uploading multiple images in one sitting, make sure to keep track of the images you have already uploaded so we can avoid duplicating or misplacing images.


5. In the Destination filename field, title the image "PARISH NAME church.jpg" or .png, or whatever extension is created at the time of the upload. Replace "PARISH NAME" with the name of the parish according to the FS Wiki.

  • Example: "Lungsund church.jpg" belongs to the Lungsund Parish, Värmland, Sweden Genealogy page on the FS Wiki.
  • NOTE: If you encounter multiple images belonging to one parish, simply add a "2" at the end of the Destination filename of the new file, etc.


6. Copy the following code and Paste it in the Summary section of the page:

{{Information
| Description = 
| Source = WIKICOMMONS URL
| Date = 
| Author = 
| Permission = 
}} 
[[Category:Sweden Church Images]]


7. Replace "WIKICOMMONS URL" with the URL for the WikiCommons image.


8. Enter the information for the respective fields above as it appears on the WikiCommons page for the image.

  • NOTE: Leave the Permission field blank.


9. Click on the Licensing dropdown, and select the licensing that best matches the Licensing from WikiCommons.

Step 2 - Insert the Image on the Parish Page


10. After the file has been uploaded, navigate to the parish page on the FS Wiki and click on “Edit Source” for the whole page.


11. Insert the image one line above the History heading using the following code example. Insert the name of the file where you see "IMAGE NAME" in all caps. 

[[Image:IMAGE NAME|thumb|right|300px|<center>IMAGE NAME</center>]]
  • Example: [[Image:Lungsund church.JPG|thumb|right|400px|Lungsund church.JPG]]
  • NOTE: As you add the image to the page, if you notice that the image seems a bit small, feel free to increase the number in front of the "px" in the code. That will increase the size of the image as it is displayed on the page.



12. Before you save the page, type "Added parish church image" in the Summary Field, indicating what change you made to the page.

13. Scroll down and click “Save page”.
