Photos make this wiki. Three steps:

Upload the photo: Special:Upload — drag in a JPG/PNG/WebP (max 20 MB). Give it a descriptive filename (e.g. Payphone_glebe_2037_north.jpg, not IMG_1234.jpg) and a short description.
Open the payphone page (e.g. Payphone:02 9876 5432) and click Edit. If the page doesn't exist yet, you can create it from a search.
In VisualEditor, click Insert → Media and pick the file you just uploaded. Drop it under the == History == heading with a one-line caption ("North side, looking toward Glebe Point Rd, March 2026"). Save.

What makes a good photo

Phone visible end-to-end with surroundings (helps people find it).
Daylight if possible.
Caption: which side of the street, when taken, anything notable (graffiti, repairs, a missing handset).

What not to upload

Photos with identifiable people unless you have permission.
Photos you didn't take and don't have rights to (no random Google results).

If your upload doesn't appear

First uploads from a new account go to Special:Moderation for a quick review. Once you're auto-confirmed (4 days + 10 edits) uploads publish immediately.
