Exactly - I was thinking of museum collections, but it could be also something like a project to photograph the "West Highland Way" and other historical footpaths.

The most important > changes are: > > * Campaigns are maintained by creating and modifying pages in a new > Campaign: namespace. Special:UploadCampaign and > Special:UploadCampaigns have been removed. > * Pages in the Campaign: namespace have all the ''features'' of normal > pages, and so have page history (solving [[bugzilla:30645]]), a talk > page, can be watched/moved/deleted/undeleted, etc. > * Full wikitext support in most fields - header/thanks labels (fixing > [[bugzilla:39910]]) and in the field labels (solving > [[bugzilla:39911]]). This should make customizations and > internationalization simpler. > * Arbitrary number of custom fields where the user can enter text > while uploading, and such text is included in the uploaded image's > description, are now supported (previously you were restricted to two > fields) > * As a negative, the GUI interface for configuring campaigns is now > gone (temporarily). Currently the Campaign configuration is stored as > [[:en:JSON|JSON]], which is edited by hand. There exists minimal > validation so that corrupt data is not saved.
