Help:Adding a payphone photo

The easiest way to add a photo to a payphone's wiki page.
Step by step
- Find the payphone's page. Click any phone on the map (the wiki link is in the bottom rail) or visit Special:Random/Payphone for a random one. Page titles look like Payphone:02951600X1 — the Telstra cabinet ID.
- Scroll to the "Photos" section near the top of the page. If photos already exist, you'll see a gallery; if not, an empty-state message inviting you to add the first.
- Click "Add a photo of this payphone". This opens the upload form with the filename, category, and licence already pre-filled — you don't need to edit any of those.
- Choose your image (JPG, PNG, or WebP — up to 15 MB).
- Add a caption (optional). In the description box you'll see a placeholder
<!-- Add a caption here ... -->. Replace it with your caption, or leave it — the comment is invisible on the rendered file page. - Click "Upload file". Your photo appears in the Photos section automatically once approved.
New accounts have their first uploads moderated for a quick spam check (usually within a day). Once auto-confirmed (4 days + 10 edits), uploads publish straight away.
