Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos
Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP) is an annual campaign where Wikipedians across Wikipedia language projects and communities add photos to Wikipedia articles lacking images. This is to promote the use of digital media files collected from various WP photography contests, photowalks organized by the Wikimedia community, on Wikipedia article pages. Photos help to grasp the reader's attention better than a wall of text, illustrate content, and make the article more instructive and engaging for readers.
Thousands of images have been donated and contributed to Wikimedia Commons via various advocacy programs, photowalks, and contests including international photography contests such as Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves Africa, Wiki Loves Earth, Wiki Loves Folklore, etc. Yet relatively few of these photos have been used on Wikipedia articles. Today, the Wikimedia Commons hosts millions of photo images but only a tiny portion of these have been used on Wikipedia article pages. This is a huge gap that this project aims at bridging.
How to participate
Before participating, it is important to read all rules below in their entirety. Failure to do so may result in disqualification.
Sign in or Create a New Account on Wikipedia (you can create your account on any language Wikipedia including your own language). The list of Wikipedias in all languages can be found here.
Find an article that needs a photo. There are many ways to do this. Here are some tips.
Find an appropriate image on Commons. Click here to search for the image using the correct title or category. There are several ways to do this. See this simple media reuse guide. Here are additional tips.
On the article page, find a section where the image is relevant and helps the reader understand the subject. Click Edit and insert the image from Step 3, and include a brief caption explaining what the image consists of in Wikipedia's language. If editing source code, check the display position using the "Preview" button and make any necessary changes. In the edit summary of all articles improved with images, give a description of why you added the image, and include the hashtag #WPWP. Then click on "Publish changes".
You may also participate by creating new articles for quality photos.
Please be mindful of the image syntax! If you are going to add images to the infoboxes in articles, the syntax is a lot easier — just the filename, so rather than [[File:Obamas at church on Inauguration Day 2013.jpg|thumb|The Obamas worship at [[African Methodist Episcopal Church]] in Washington, D.C., January 2013]]simplyObamas at church on Inauguration Day 2013.jpg.
Here, the caption is The Obamas worship at African Methodist Episcopal Church.
If you are going to add images to the infoboxes in articles, add them to the correct position as shown below.
| image = Obamas at church on Inauguration Day 2013.jpg
| caption = The Obamas worship at African Methodist Episcopal Church
