Help:Adding a payphone photo

Help page
Revision as of 08:04, 3 May 2026 by Alex (talk | contribs)

Photos make this wiki. Three steps:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
